I love my dice towers because I don't have dice mowing over minis and falling off the table. Very cool video.

Studied Math as focus and made room for English literature Earned letters, etc. Found peace at my level, taught and retired using both disciplines In short..... Masters degree,was enough..... Thanks for sharing Peace

Working in Academia is not for everyone. Please do not believe that a PhD can show how smart you are. It is nothing related to your intelligence. And not everyone is suitable to teach students at the university, it is a hard job nowadays.

People with a PHD or all kinds of letters past their name doesn't impress me. No popularity contests anyway.

Graduate school-esp. the PhD-is one of academia's biggest soul-destroying scams. I would end all PhD programs in the Humanities and Social Sciences, and significantly strengthening the Master's program to come to the level of the PhD. Academia in general is one colossal scam, and it should be gutted down to what works for the students' value.

I would be curious to know how many amps this is producing. That could theoretically give us an idea of how long it would take to charge a phone

Imposter syndrome is REAL! But know that you are not better than anyone else, and nobody else is better than you!

Are you a transgender? You don't like much of a girl?

I use towers purely for rolling in a small confined space we have on the table, without it my dice usually end up on the floor lol

Thank you so much for this video. It was such a refreshing perspective I needed to hear.

Cool, did yoy worked with PCR ?

I quit my PhD today. I talked to my supervisor to change my topic but she didn't allow me to do so and the area I'm doing was so confusing to me cause it requires a lot of chemistry and I'm sucked at chemistry and I didn't make any progress so i consider quitting is the best option for me.

nice video

Es increíble,saludos desde argentina

I quit PhD and i resonate 💯 with it.

I see Dice Towers mainly as an interesting way to roll the dice and it controls the landing zone

I dont see a link for the heating cartridges

It's so enjoyable to see someone that happy in front of his working project haha :) , as an ancient coder, i got it. Even more when you had the same idea and wanted to see some examples online haha ( want to do something like this ! ) ... and when i say like this.. it's, exactly that xD .. LEARN ABOUT GO RANDOM CITIZEN <3 . . . wanna mary you x)

Could it harm the phone battery using such a set up if it’s not consistent?

Michaela, I relate to your story. I am from India. I was also doing PhD in a lab that specialises in nanocomposite biomaterials and wound healing until I quit. I felt the range emotions that you talked about. It felt like I was being choked. It was sucking my creativity, my soul out of myself. So I decided to quit and then followed through my decision. It was scary but my existence was in question. After listening to you I felt like sharing my own experience. It is nice to know that I am not the only who felt this way. Carry on the good work.

i quit my master's in canada a few years back. it was devastating after working so hard and then realizing it really wasn't for me, not what i thought it would be and really made me unhappy. onwards and upwards!

If you have a microphone so he can hear, couldn't you use some voice recognition algorithm's to detect when it should be passive or not, if you ask a command it follows it until complete then, it would go back into tracking mode. Make it like dummy in iron man so it can follow you around the house

Only weak individuals quit their PhD. They always regret it for life. I always find it funny that PhD dropouts have 1000 excuses to make themselves feel better.

this is sooooo cool!!!!!!!

Mining Lithium, Cobalt etc. Energy used? Slave labor, open pit mines. High tire n brakes usage due to massive battery vehicle weight? Factor in degradation of roads n hi-ways from x2 weight (repaving taxes). Factor in the massive battery grave yards and non renewable waste dumps in 10 years or so! It doesn’t end there!

I do wonder a few things: 1) I personally don't throw dice like this, mine go all over the table (more roll than bounce action): would that influence the result? 2) Many games ask you to throw 2-5 dice at once (look at e.g. Qwixx). Would that influence the outcome of the individual dice? 3) What about the material of the dice? You have wood, plastic, metal. I suspect wood and plastic will be similar, but metal has a very high density; will the beginning position have more influence? 4) What about other dice types? Most commonly used are d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, and d20. Are the others, especially d4 and d20 dice also random? 5) Does a dice tower actually produce a random result? Is there a difference between dice tower design?

Very late but some "AI Physical Board" searches brought me here :D exceptional, exceptional work. Except for my high-school electrotechnical excercises, i'm more on the software side of tech. Even in complete weakness, i love Go but play in person is hard around here. Still i would like to avoid grinding OGS or Katago with mouse & keyboard. Was wondering if something similar would be doable with cameras & image recognition, but still i would need some lasers to reveal next or suggested moves :D i'll think a bit about it. Very inspiring video

I just built the Lego self loading dice thrower ♥ (Version 2 worked/Version 1 & 1 improved version not so much). Because LEGO! I was getting a lot of 3 numbers out of 4 in a row. Which seemed weird! Not sure how many times out of 100 I would send dice flying across the room or the dice hitting the table before the catch box makes down in time to catch them. :)

Very good. Has anyone used a version of this PCR machine to amplify DNA?

My tip on doing a PhD. Do it on Hegelian philosophy applied in an analysis of James Joyce's 'Finnegans Wake'. That's what I'm doing. No one knows what you are on about. Even your supervisors

You don't need a PhD if you don't want to be a professor. Getting a PhD is like pooping. To poop, you got to have something in your belly. You also got to have papers. If you don't have anything, you can sit there for ages and not be able to complete your tasks. You also need papers when you go to the bathroom. Otherwise, you can't come out either. Of course, you can choose to walk away without papers but that takes a lot of courage.

God u are so pretty

Whats the code ?

Great said, Michaela! The relationship between science and academia is like the relationship between faith and cult. So, no regrets. I’m sure you thrive now.

hey I'm a Computer Science student and i took this concept for my final year project and I'm glad u have made a brief tutorial on this. any research papers for this project ???

There is something else going on with some bowls though. I just melted some butter in a ceramic bowl and it damned near cooked my finger in the half a second I touched it. Black spiderweb patterns had formed on top and it was hot like a stove-top after 2 x 30 sec.

Great! Thank you so much. Greetings from a bioeng grad student, universidad del Cauca, Colombia.

Can you please give me design

I have a bad feeling about her future now

Love your content

id imagine the good thing about dice towers is that they r more standardized some ppl r prone to cheating and then just do some fake ass throw where they setup the dice in their hand and just drop them from like 2 cm without much force some may dont even actually do it intentionally, but its certainly easier to get a desired number/avoid one if u setup the dice correcly in ur hand

Very nice build. Glad it kept you (more or less) sane during that period. Having a cat, I understand the desirability of a robot pet. Good video, too. Thanks for sharing.

i use a tower to stop my kids cheating rolls lol

Hey. Important question, did your computer solve the b99 puzzle?

That is super impressive, why didn’t you upload this on In Sente? I didnt know you had this channel

I'm not surprised. The dice are basically very hard springs as are the surfaces they are dropped on to. So it's the result of two springs colliding. At least with a tower you don't have to go under the table looking for dice.

You have to have passion for the topic you propose and can live day and night in finding a solution to the problem in question. So PhD is not meant for everyone, and your professors were shortsighted by recognizing you are a good fit for the program. Also, if you are a gold digger looking for high salary the industry offers, then academia is not for you because you are not getting paid adequately. However, what you miss though while working in industry is the mental congruence found in academia, as sometimes CEOs themselves don't have a mater degree and know nill about methodologies, creating a logical argument for business case and you get mentally exhausted because they don't have same mindset of academic folks who see things from an analytical view point. After all, PhD requires an immense passion, dedication, and thrive for self-actualization.

I'd like to see you add wheels to the bottom of the arm so it could move around on the floor or make legs so it can walk. Why not design your own arm !
