Celebrate International Women in Robotics Day, Oct 2 2024! #IntWirDay #ShineALight #WomenInRobotics womeninrobotics.org/wir-day/2024
Extra! extra! This quarter’s Women in Robotics newsletter is extra packed. Check it out here womeninrobotics.substack.com/p/2024-q2-wome…
@TheRealFergs It gives me quite the jog down memory lane
@ryanmhickman Isn’t Isaac sim built on top of omniverse? I do t understand how Isaac could be good if it’s built on top of bad.
👏 ROSCon 👏 2024 👏 talk 👏 proposals 👏 are 👏 due 👏 June 👏 3rd! 👏 THAT IS NEXT MONDAY! roscon.ros.org/2024/
@adrianmacneil @TheRealFergs If this is real I volunteer to recharge the audience with my electrifying puns. I can share my hot takes like hot cakes - served fresh
@audrow @RoboFoundry @scottmonaghan @TheRealFergs @MikellTaylor @i_bioloid I am greatful you found it useful!
@MicahHoffmann I’ll check it out! My first question is why do I need to install this c++ unit testing framework with npm? That seems… odd.
I think one of the biggest hurdles to adding testing to software is the complexity of testing frameworks.
Results are in! Bard won the best bad joke-off. What did you think? Is the new bard better than ChatGPT3.5, or should I run another contest?
The ultimate way to score chatgpt vs bard: Bad jokes! Finish this joke: why was the watermelon in the pool? A) Because it wanted to get in on the melon-choly! B) Because it wanted to stay cool and make a splash!
… and the winner is bard coming in with answers as A
Neither one is funny you say?
@NoThanksHoney1 Oh yeah? Make it funnier! A) Because it couldn't stand the rind-icule of being on land! B) Because it wanted to be a "melon-dramatic" floater and add some fruity humor to the pool party!

@JohnVial Make it funnier A) Because it was too seedy for the beach! ️ B) Because it heard it was "seeded" for a great time and wanted to dive into the juicy fun!
@ooeygui Woot! Let me know when it’s ready
I could t agree more github.com/athackst/vscod…
Dev containers are a really nice way to teach robotics to students without having to worry about setting up development environments with the necessary dependencies. #ROSCon2023
