What's everyone working on? (tigsource inspired)

I've been working on the Nintendo Rangers Engine. It's overcomplicated, and I can use it for just about everything.

I've been working on supporting __index metamethod from middleclass (so classes have a 'method to call when they don't have a method). I'm trying to accomplish it before thelinx sends two Big Angry Guys With Baseball Bats to my place to break my legs.

It is thoughter than it seems, mainly because I already use __index to do stuff - I have several, in fact. And I don't find an obvious place to put the additional one. And I'm scared of the Big Angry Guys.

I have no picture to show. Do you want to see a picture of my cat? She's very cute. But she sleeps too much.

I'm working on trying desperately to pass one of my courses in cognitive science. Currently trying to describe the cognitive processes related to perception during a discussion between two humans, and how we could use this knowledge when trying to build more life-like robots.

Sounds intense . I like how you didn't say that you were "Trying Desperately", but that you were "Working, on trying, to pass." Are you a procrastinator like me ?

Just one phone call.

Heh. I am a hopeless procrastinator when I don't have strict deadlines. However, I've somehow managed to make myself work. Right now I'm trying to find out how the hell cognitive processes related to reasoning fit into a discussion, and how that can be applied to robots. My biggest problem right now is that I'm literally months behind the rest of the group, and since this is a group assignment I need to find something to write that no one else has already written about.

Maybe I should now pass on some wisdom passed on too me: start over. It's too complicated.

Has your group already written about the Savant syndrome? Robots interacting with humans are actually quite similar to Savants. They have similar strengths, and similar limitations. Daniel Tammet's an excellent case study (since, you know, he can talk and everything). They've done a couple documentaries about him and everything. You can make a very multimedia work.

(Incidentally, is LÖVE somehow related with Mänti, BTW?)

I'm not familiar enough with that English expression. I can detect some emphasis, but I'm not sure it is positive or negative.

Just one phone call.

Glups.

It wasn't supposed to be a case study, but rather a general overview of how these different kinds of cognitive processes are used, and how we can better emulate them in robots.

I solved my problem by simply commenting on what other people had already written and writing the same things but with different words.
