It's for that, but also for having an impact on your community. In our case, we hold an annual E-waste drive that handles over a ton of E-waste, partner with various groups such as the Girl Scouts, hold a Speaker Series where we invite JPL scientists to speak about their projects, and more.

"The FIRST Impact Award (formerly Chairman’s Award) is the most prestigious award at FIRST, it honors the team that best represents a model for other teams to emulate"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Impact award Las Vegas regional!! WE'RE HEADING TO MOTHER APPRECIATING HOUSTON!!!!!!!! for context, we won the most prestigious award at a robotics competition which gives us a ticket to the highest level of competition where all the superstar teams are. THIS IS OUR GOAL THAT WE WORKTOWARDS EV#RY YEAR THIS IS T H E E N D GO AL AND THE GRADUATING SENOIRS WHO ARE VERY NMICE AND COOL PEOPLE WILL GET TO ATTEND TWOLDS AND WE HAVE SUC EDED CHEESY POOFS HERE WE COME!!!@!!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------- The matches were over, and we had been eliminated from the robot competition. We were all in the bleachers, all feeling tired and depressed. Our only chance at going to Worlds was the impact award. I personally was told that other teams are really competitive for this, so I thought it was hopeless. As the judges started to announce, I said to my teammate sitting next to me, "it's not gonna be us". The judges started with the big announcement. "Here's what the judges had to say about our First Impact Award winner." [thing kinda sorta describing us] [thing describing us i guess] [no. it can't be us. it can't be us.] (me in denial because i didn't want to be disappointed) [NO WAY NO WAY NOPE NOPE] [NO. NO. NO NO NO NO. NO.] "Please join me in congratulating team-" [HOLY CRAP] "TWENTY FOUR TWENTY NINE!" [AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA *gets tackled by teammate* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA] WE F---ING DID IT this is an eyesore but still posting it

10/10 super linux guy.

Tell her that I also pronounce it that way. We must spread the true pronunciation!!

2/10 welcome to the forums, we've got fun and games!

I'm playing O Fortuna in my orchestra and these misheard lyrics somehow seem even more present when the piece performed live...

People who play as healers are the opposites of cheaters. One self-sacrifices to make other people happy, and the other sucks happiness from other people.

I asked ChatGPT3 for an app for logging the results of First Robotics Competition games, and it basically gave me what I wanted in minutes. Granted, the app isn't very complicated and if I wasn't rusty with tkinter I could've done it in an hour or two, but it's kinda depressing to see how fast it did it. As someone who loves programming, I'd be really sad if programming turns out to be like steam engines- very prevalent for a short time, but then simply gone. I see a lot of articles about programmers being irreplaceable, but they honestly just feel like copium to me- if ChatGPT3 can do this in minutes, what will it be able to do in just a few years?

What does this even mean?! Who are "we"? Who is now incapable of accessing the school? What exactly is blocked when one blocks a school?!

Myself submitting to Android Studio's cruel ways (the lime and white thingy is the Android Studio logo). The text is an extremely annoying error I was getting, which actually didn't have anything to do with Android Studio, although Studio was extremely unhelpful in resolving the error.

When you write Mr. Name as Mr.Name and pronounce it "Mister-dot-name" in your head.

Is GPT4 better at math than GPT3? I've found that GPT3 is surprisingly bad at math, even claiming that e^-1 = e and not 1/e.

Dakota said this would be the case; very excited to see if I'll be able to run KSP2 someday!

By that logic, are interstellar parts really necessary? is KSP2 itself really necessary?

For me personally, the icons with dots and the crosshairs were out because they don't indicate the exact location as well, and the belows were eliminated because they're above in KSP1 and I'm used to that (although now that I think about it I like the belows better). I thought that the pointers looked too elaborate, and that the text placement on the lines unavoidably looked kinda awkward. Lastly, I chose alpha just out of personal preference- I like things transparent usually. This gave an end result of above alpha arrow. All of these nitpicks are just that- nitpicks, and I actually really like all of these.

Granted, all you can hear now is basic messages from microbes and bugs. I wish for more time before my robotics competition.

Deeplearning4J's reinforcement learning model sucks. The FRC competition (which is cooler bigger FTC) uses python, which I know, so I think I'll be using Python actually.

A PID controller is a system with certain adjustable parameters that is used to move things smoothly and without over-compensating. They are a very widely used technology, and I'm pretty sure KSP2 (which, disclaimer, I haven't played yet) uses them for SAS. Letting people adjust the SAS's PID controller doesn't seem like it'd be terribly difficult, and being able to adjust this PID in the very interactive, hands-on way that KSP allows would teach people about PIDs very well IMO.

@Nazalassa?

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of math fans suddenly ate pie. Cherry pie for us!

I hate it when people ask me what school I go to, because I have to admit that I'm homeschooled, which always leads to the same tiring and very annoying comments. Some of these questions that I get asked every few days include "So your parents teach you?" (no, I read from textbooks mostly) and "Are there any tests?" (kind of). These ones, however, aren't nearly so bad as one particular comment which always gets my blood boiling: "sO eVeRy DaY iS sUmMeR bReAk??" N O. N O. Every day is NOT FREAKING SUMMER BREAK. I hate that people think that I spend my entire life doing nothing and playing video games and stuff while I in fact work my ass off every day. I don't want people to think that I'm "so lucky", have it easy and never study. I don't want people to think that I'm some hippie that's scared of chemicals and is overreliant on his parents. I don't want people to think that I'm some idiot that doesn't know anything and has all the time I could ask for. I wish people knew that I probably do just as much work as them, and I wish that people would treat me and think of me the same as anyone else. Most of them probably do eventually, but that summer break question makes me feel like they initially don't. If you ever meet a homeschooler, just don't ask them about it. Homeschooled kids have heard this same crap too many times.
