They are using their ammochaetae* which have formed a psammophore** to carry balls of soil.

I always wonder if guys with beards can be this efficient at landscaping. Can ya'll bring in the groceries with that thing?

*fancy word for ant hairs on the head... sensory hairs are called 'setae' in insects.
**fancy word for basket

@Alice_Swaggen @ThvH

I think it could also be a young ladybird beetle or maybe a glowworm?

I'm stumped.

I looked at the millipedes and none from Europe look like this really.

@ThvH
About how long was it?

@ThvH

Who is the arthropod?

@sidereal @Nichelle

If you request that it be like a technical document it can do the grammar. I won't deny the few things these models are good at:

speech to text
basic rough translation (not literary, not for document, just for kludge communication)
cleaning up grammar and spelling.

Maybe it can suggest alternate ways to word a sentence. Though it often changes the meaning and I don't see the point.

@burnitdown

yes

@Nichelle

I have a friend like this too. So, I'm going to just... show up more in their life.

@c0dec0dec0de

Classic cat. So much to learn from them I think.

@dnavinci @jon_ellis @graydon

They turned the praise down, but not enough. I still find it ... uncomfortable because it's constantly outputting phrases that do not convey information-- except if they came from a human they would mean a great deal to me. Such as "Let's get started working on your idea."

Such a nice thing to hear from another person, it means they want to help and think it's worth their time.

Reading it from a machine makes me sad.

@robotistry @dnavinci @graydon

I find "he" just as bad. Or even "them" if they talk about it like it's a person. But I can see how that makes it ... worse.

@veronica @ptmesis @lienrag

Working slowly makes the errors causes by moving the pen worse. Speed is your friend for this. The wheel in the video must have a motor or she's kicking it. My wheel is just for hand building and won't spin for long at all.

@veronica @ptmesis @lienrag

Ok that was the wrong video hold on.

@veronica @ptmesis @lienrag

I think you may be right about the cardioid it seems the easiest thing to make from playing around just a bit with it.

Also it's easier if it's moving faster. I wish I had a motor.

@lienrag @clayfoot

I thought you were replying to the other thread. I thought you were talking about it in a more general way. Not this "application"

@veronica @lienrag

Moving the pen at a constant speed won't work I think? I feel like I'm missing something obvious.

I have a clay wheel I'm going to bring it out. Hold. on.

@veronica @lienrag

"But the offset to the centre seems to determine the radius of the inner circle."

Do you mean the whole thing is centered on the small circle? I thought the whole thing was centered on the large circle... the small one is an anomaly.

@lienrag @clayfoot

But, it already has ... all of the data possible. I think people don't understand just how huge "training data" (train is a poor word, it should be just called "data" or "data to be optimized into a relational fine-grain net with a ton of computing time")

@lienrag

Well one is that a circle is set of points a fixed distance from a center. And a spiral is when you change the radius as you draw it.
