Say ‘Hi’ to Nybble, an open-source robotic kitten

Posted in: Today's Chili

If you’ve ever wanted to own your own open-source cat, this cute Indiegogo project might be for you. The project, based on something called the Open Cat, is a laser-cut cat that walks and “learns” and can even connect to a Raspberry Pi. Out of the box a complex motion controller allows the kitten to perform lifelike behaviors like balancing, walking and nuzzling.

“Nybble’s motion is driven by an Arduino compatible micro-controller. It stores instinctive ‘muscle memory’ to move around,” wrote its creator, Rongzhong Li. “An optional AI chip, such as Raspberry Pi can be mounted on top of Nybble’s back, to help Nybble with perception and decision. You can program in your favorite language, and direct Nybble walk around simply by sending short commands, such as ‘walk’ or ‘turn left.’”

The cat is surprisingly cute and the life-like movements make it look far more sophisticated than your average toy. You can get a single Nybble for $200 and the team aims to ship in April 2019. You also can just build your own cat for free if you have access to a laser cutter and a few other tools, but the kit itself includes a motion board and complete instructions, which makes the case for paying for a new Nybble pretty compelling. I, for one, welcome our robotic feline overlords.

The world is a mess. That’s one fact we can all agree on. And when reality is hard to talk about or to understand, sometimes fiction is the best way to express what’s really going on.

Australian Cops Perform CPR on Drowning Kangaroo

Posted in: Today's Chili

I know very little about Australia, aside from the fact that it’s basically a weirder United States with a feral cat problem. But I’m familiar enough to know that Australian police resuscitating a drowning kangaroo with CPR at the beach is about as Australian as it gets.

Opera Browser Beta Will Block Annoying Cookie Dialogs

Posted in: Uncategorized

In recent times you might have noticed that when you’re browsing the web, especially on your phone, you will come across a huge dialog screen that informs you that the website you’re visiting is using cookies. This is part of the EU’s GDPR rules and is a legal requirement for websites nowadays.

However these dialog boxes can get annoying as they can popup several times a day, and given that they are huge, they are distracting when you’re trying to browse the web. However the good news is that the folks at Opera have since built in a blocker into the latest beta of the browser where it will now help block such dialogs from appearing.

The browser will also give users the option of automatically accepting cookie dialogs if they wish, and to be fair most of us would probably have agreed to it anyway without reading too much into it. That being said, Android Police’s testing has found that the feature doesn’t work 100% of the time as they note that this could be due to how the dialogs are implemented.

However since this is only a beta, hopefully Opera will be able to figure out the kinks ahead of the public release.
