what would be the linear equation that defines the xyz coordinate movement and orientations of each appendages/joints(muscle not necessary included) in locomotion gaits of bipedal or any pedal walkers(such as pictured)while also including posture changes given variables like condition, weight and speed?

i suppose the result to expects are posture and silhouette but maybe i ll iterate those myself once the world coordinates or polar/spherical coordinates are solved.... how many ways can i approach this anyway

>Entertainment singularity
It used to be there were very limited options for entertainment, and only a few sources that created it. However, its becoming easier to both create entertainment and distribute it. Maybe you used to watch 1 or two videos a day from people you liked, but as the population increases and access to tools and distribution networks becomes more wide spread, you'll have a few dozen videos. This trend will of course continue, especially with the advent of AI assisted content creation.
If there are 1 million videos created now and you only like 1, then in the future when there's 100 million videos created, suddenly theres 100 videos you'd want to watch.
The eventuality of this is that you will always be able to find some sort of entertainment to your liking at all times, no matter your mood, you would never actually be able to watch/listen/experience every piece of content you want.

How long until you believe this will happen? What are the implication of "infinite" entertainment? How will this affect culture and society?

>Simulation Theory? HECKIN REAL! Science is amazing!
>Our universe is a HECKIN' HOLOGRAM? WOW WOW WOW HECKIN SCIENCEARINO!
>Flat Earth? LOL what are you retarded? Earth can't be flat it doesn't make any sense!
(yes these are actual claims by mainstream science that globetards actually believe)

Undergrad/Premed Hate Thread

No.14379174 ViewReplyOriginalReport
ITT we vent about shitty undergrads in our lab

Things the premed undergrads have said to me while in the third year of my PhD:

>Isn't there an app for this
While using Keyence software to touch up some images...Dumb fuck didn't understand that this was the app.

>This microscope isn't working I can't zoom out
4.0 premed student who was bragging about how she got a perfect score on every microbiology test and lab test.

>Premed undergrad uses buffer with big chunk of mold floating in it
To be fair this is partially my fault for not throwing the buffer out, but common sense would suggest not using a buffer with a hairy black mass floating in it.

>Using a protein mini gel to genotype some mouse clippings
I made a very detailed protocol book for the undergrads to use with pictures. Yet some how they still fuck up something so simple.

>Never autoclaves trash, just tells me it's full.
I have taught everyone of them how to do this, there is instructions in the lab next to the satellite accumulation area. Shit like this is why I treat them like toddlers.

Worthless degrees general discussion

No.14376545 ViewReplyLast 50OriginalReport
Worthless degrees are a pitfall which catches a substantial number of aspiring university students in it's greedy, unforgiving maw. What are some of the most worthless science degrees to avoid? Which courses of scientific study are most likely to leave the victim deep in debt with no way out?

I need your opinion (poll). Is "Simulation Theory" (the mainstream scientific theory that we are in a simulation) probably real, or not? Poll:
