Hi Amberwolf! Be well!
Women Like Small Dogs and Men Like Big DogsMaybe next time try a smaller dog?
I truly mean it when I say that I seriously doubt your behavior could ever be so wrong that it went beyond "just rude and/or insensitive." You don't give yourself nearly enough credit, my friend. I just can't imagine you being so at fault that you have reason to beat yourself up over it. Personally, my method of dealing with people is literally this: "frock 'em, they're irrationally sensitive and I'm not going to let them grind me down any more than they already have." We have just as much right to be ourselves as they have to be offended by that. I know that's probably of no help to you, but it usually gets me through the day. Sure, there are times when I can't just will myself out of dwelling or feeling ashamed, but usually it works pretty well for me. Try it sometime, it might work for you. Besides, do you really want to be friends with people who blame you instead of considering that they might also be at fault? C'mon, people like that are worse than useless.The original reason for starting the break was someone pointing out my inability to see that my behavior was wrong (being autistic on top of eternally exhausted doesn't make this easy) so I decided to walk away until I could figure out what I did wrong, and how to avoid it in the future, since it's not the first time I've offended and had no idea what I did wrong. I still have no idea how to do that, but after a few days I also realized I had other reasons to keep myself away (see the section below), and then shortly after that I was handed another mess by fate (see the section after the one below):
You are a genuine sight for sore eyes bro.... just tickled pink to see your text
I think I understand a 'dogs' needs... I've owned one since I don't remember when. My current 'Lady' needs dental cleaning... sadly, I now live about 100 mi round trip to the closest vet... and not only is she's not accepting new patients... I'm also being quoted $500 to $900. What to do.
I don't pick them; I end up with the ones that need me. Since i'm "partnered" with the local Saint Bernard rescue, it's unlikely they'd be smaller than say, Tiny, who was about a hundred pounds.Maybe next time try a smaller dog?
I try to.Hang in there AW.
Thanks.Hi Amberwolf! Be well!
I see that you are very fond of "The Wolf" project and all the things going on meanwhile really pushes you to your limit it seems.
Be well and don't forget to ask for help

I do just be myself, since I can't be anyone else, but when that's a problem for enough people then I have to try to figure out how to fix it. Since they don't tell me exactly what I did wrong so I can fix it (they never understand that I can't know unless they tell me, since normal people don't have that problem), I have to figure it out myself (which is usually impossible) then try different things until it's fixed. It always bothers me when I cause other people problems, and I can't get away from it; it's always in my nightmares and my thoughts all the time unless I'm concentrating on some specific problem (which I can't do for long in isolation since in my brain everything is related to everything else, and at some point all that stuff comes back into the process too).I know that's probably of no help to you, but it usually gets me through the day. Sure, there are times when I can't just will myself out of dwelling or feeling ashamed, but usually it works pretty well for me. Try it sometime, it might work for you.
No, I don't try to be friends with anyone like that; it would be pointless. But few normal people even accept that people like me exist, they just think I'm normal but an asshole or whatever because I don't understand them and can't "read" them like other normal people do, and am not interested in the same boring things that most people are and can't stand spending so much time on all that when there are more important things to do and say. (though almost none of the things that are important to me are important to almost anyone else).Besides, do you really want to be friends with people who blame you instead of considering that they might also be at fault? C'mon, people like that are worse than useless.
Um, this place is full of "people from foreign countries", and there's no detectable (by me) difference in how they accept or reject me vs anyone from this country (same in all the other places I've been).Find some people from foreign countries to be friends with. They're few and far between, but in my experience, they're much less critical of social customs.
I'm glad I helped.As for the rest of your post... I don't even know what to say. I'm sorry that life can be so difficult sometimes. I wish I had more than superficial words to offer you, but I really do wish you only the best in life. You improved mine just by being around here. Please don't forget that.
Maybe a Rockchip 3588 based SBC would work. in addition to an 8 core 64bit processor it has a 6tops NPU. being arm based it doesn't use as much power as computers of the 90's.Ok. I don't yet know how to do this stuff, or which things are good for what. So whatever alternatives you (or anyone else) can think of for processing this data, I'm up for trying out.
Yes. if you don't need wifi, although it is just an inexpensive card to add bluetooth, and wifi if needed. There are several OS's that run on the orangepi 5 most are linux based. And should have the tools to take advantage of the NPU.
Lady was driving her car. She had a accident and drove over a squirrel. She picked up the squirrel and was not sure what to do. Across the street was a veterinarian. She took the squirrel the the vet. Veterinarian looked at the squirrel and said "The squirrels dead and that will be $50 for the examination." Lady said "How do you know the squirrels dead? Aren't you going to do any tests?". Veterinarian said OK and he took the squirrel into a room and put it on a examination table. A Labrador Retriever dog walked in. The Lab Dog sniffed the squirrel, barked and walked out of the room. Then a cat walked in the room. The cat sniffed the squirrel, meowed and walked out of the room.cat scans
The fact that this lovely, deserving man's creation would have applications far exceeding the monetary value of anything I currently have available is irrelevant. I'm still saddened that nobody seems to take him at his word when he simply says, "I need this."Lady was driving her car. She had a accident and drove over a squirrel.

Veterinarian said "Your squirrels dead and and now you owe me $450." Lady said $450? Why? Dog? Cat? I don't understand?" Vet said "$200 for the lab work, $200 for the cat scan, and $50 for the examination, and now you owe me $450.
"what about moving to a higher level with python instead? The devt environment needs less setting up than for Arduino and python's expressiveness is better for data crunching"
I should have mentioned that microcontrollers can run micropython interactively. You code directly on the hardware and get immediate feedback, giving a 'malleable' feel different from using a compiler and with less to go wrong.
Buy well buy once, the smaller the microcontroller the more work it is to make it consistently useful.
no, i haven't edited anything?(I think you edited this post and my reply about programmers got wiped?)
the imu processing will need it too, according to what little info i've been able to get from people about what i want to do with that data. it has to realtime process the full 3-axis accelerometer data from at least a dozen (probably more than two or three times that many, as some will just be under the fur and not attached to skeleton, some places get more of them, some not many) imu's as if it were an earthquake network, along with the full 3 or 6 axis position/velocity data from at least a dozen of those imus (one in each segment of each limb, plus at least a few along the spine and ribs, at least one in the head, and at least a couple in the tail).Anyway #2...
Sensory processing like speech recognition and vision need oomph, the rest not so much.
well, we'll have to see how it all works out, since i have the stuff i have, and have to use what i have for now. the money was already spent on those, so that's how i have to work for now. as i said beofre in either the rreply abvove or in the reply to your original pm i already have a tiny rpi to experiment with.Try hard to ditch preconceptions about how to build. Breaking a task down helps learn but that can happen stepwise in s/w, it doesn't require small h/w. Micropython will need a bigger processor and that's what you want: if devt takes an extra 3 hours in Arduino that's another sandwich gone and a bigger processor would have been the lesser investment. Co-ordinating networking is a significant overhead and the job would be easier with all the fast movement, servos, imus etc. handled by one up to date micro from Adafruit or Raspberry Pi Pico series, figure around $20 for such a board e.g. Adafruit Feather RP2040
i have no idea how you would be able to make that workExample: how about RF tags dotted around whose distances are read in turn by 3 readers in the body cavity, followed by triangulation taking account of known limb movement constraints (hence not needing 4)?
