Yeah, the US grade system up to highschool. I haven’t done those grades at all.

Never have I ever gone to school in grades K-12.

Going meta is always allowed. Just say you’re dumbing it down, that you don’t mean to be condescending, and invite them to interrupt if they already understand.
I’m not going to lie, I’d probably pay money to be in the room. I can only imagine how awkward and hilarious it would be to see a silent and fuming Trump get edged up by a middle aged black man who’s busy having a conversation with the next barber over.
It’s also 60", which is absurdly large to me lol. Glad I could help, though.
Ah, my bad. Sorry.
I have one. It’s 4k, which gave me some trouble from an Ubuntu media server, and the refresh rate is ~144, I believe. It cost me something like 300-400 USD.
Try a Spectre t.v. they’re made for digital signage. I got one and hooked it up to a media server.
So far pretty good. I’ve got a white trip today, it’s early in the morning, and I haven’t slept yet. But other than that okay.
I wonder if you could make a donation platform for artists that also provides torrents. You would have to tie up the money pending proof of identification from an artist who participated in creating the work, then release a portion to them. I’m just speculating here but it seems like something that could be made.
Now we’ve reached the point where you have a faction of the internet believing Vance actually had sectional relations…
Lol
Yeah, I’ve messed around with water sensors before. I just thought it would be neat to measure it via stress on the plant itself.
It would be really neat if someone made a sensor that could tell you whether your plant needs to be watered.
Me showing a friend the number of downloads for an open source library that I published.
I respect when people misuse meme formats that they’ve only had a verbal description of.
Thank you. I’m not an expert on how accelerometers work, I’ve generally just used them in robotic and mobile applications.
The most basic way to measure movement is with an accelerometer. It’s a little component inside your phone that has a small weight with a known mass connected to springs. When the phone moves or rotates, the weight moves, and the tension on the springs changes. The tension is either constant (you rotated your phone and are now holding it in the new position) or temporary (you moved in a direction and stopped). There are other ways this can be done, but this is the most conceptually simple.
Steps, length of step, distance moved, and heart rate can be estimated from analyzing the movement in various ways.
For example, to detect a step, your phone might see movement slightly up and forward, then down, then a jarring impact. Heart rate can be estimated based on your entered weight in an app, your speed of movement, how long you’ve been moving, and averages for people of your weight moving in those ways. This is a very inaccurate way to measure your heart rate, however. A better way would be by a sensor located on your wrist, arm, or chest, which is what smart watches often do.
Movement measured by an accelerometer can quickly become inaccurate, because small errors add up over time, so for movement over longer distances, phones generally use GPS (communication with a satellite positioning system) which is accurate to within about 5 meters.
If GPS isn’t available, but the phone is connected to multiple cell phone towers, then it’s possible to triangulate the position of the phone given the tower locations. If we know the distance and direction to the towers, and the position of the towers, then we can find the location of the phone by basically adding an offset to one of the tower locations.
There are other, more niche ways to measure positions without triangulation or GPS, but they’re generally used for autonomous robotics - laser positioning with reflectors, ultra-wide-band positioning with special sensors, or visual positioning with cameras surrounding the region in which the robot will be working.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
I was home schooled from childhood through highschool. I got a GED before I joined the military, then used the GI bill to go to university and took placement tests for everything, which put me at the same level as everyone else except for trigonometry, which I had to take a remedial class in.
