Usually these feel bittersweet, but it feels like this guy is just in good shape.
He's either going to very confidently meet and fall in love with someone else, or confidently not bother with dating. Either way, that's a pretty handy machine.
Edit: I guess "everyone" is probably literal across time. I guess at least he can get a head start getting comfortable going to dinner and a movie alone.
As someone "ordinary rich", it is acceptable to also call me "useful idiot who turns over power and influence to the real rich in exchange for an empty promise of joining them".
People are too hard on Janeway. She didn't have great options here. I'm sure if she could have, she would have sacrificed Ensign Kim - for not refilling the coffee replicator.
Definitely not unique to Stargate. I remember a cast member from Power Rangers commenting on how interesting it was that so many rock filled quaries were key strategic targets to the various forces invading earth...
I hope my habit makes your life a little easier by normalizing they/them (or just avoiding gendered terms) as an un-interesting default.
I hope for a world where they/them becomes accepted as "I'm not trusted enough by this person to be told their pronouns yet, and that's okay."
I think asking people to identify their gender, early in a (non-intimate) relationship, is a particularly unhealthy cultural habit. I hope I'm helping push back on that, a bit.
In the meantime, I'm trying to learn speech habits that don't force you to gender yourself, or to be noticed in not doing so. I hope to help make these kinds of situations easier for you.
You shouldn't have to decide at a random moment
whether to share your gender identity with me. I'm committed to keep trying to learn communication patterns that make it natural for you not to have to.
Yeah. Which I'm sure is what they're officially selling. That's fair. Long term, walking robots are likely only going to succeed thanks to learning algorithms.
I find it suspicious that this company is touting their AI enhancement while admitting their product can't be trusted to navigate an apartment alone.
Personally, I would select homes with simple layouts, before conceding to constant monitoring, if I could. But I couldn't do that if my mix of math and AI was outright bad, and it couldn't handle it...
To me, this smells like over-promising and hoping new AI algorithms outpace their promises.
And having a remote operator just looks like a lot like a classic mechanical turk scam.
AI is propping up the blockchain bubble that already popped.
Both have been primarily interesting solutions looking for problems to solve without any hard work, rather than having any worthwhile investment strategy, in most cases.
There's people doing hard work with block chain and AI to solve real problems. But there aren't "the vast majority of venture funds" number of people doing that.
I am constantly amazed at how long it takes folks to realize their money is being pissed away.
An alternative less generous assumption is that they're mostly just laundering crime money, and so don't mind the high rates of loss.
"I don't understand it (pauses to pour various inedible compounds into another vat). There's no way to explain why Americans don't want to eat our delicious healthy snacks anymore. (Pauses to check with legal whether using the word "healthy" will hold up in court. Legal says it won't, but Sales says to use it anyway.)"
This is not an actual quote, but it's wild that they don't understand the road that got them here. It's just way too much trouble to read and research the package labels for basic safety, anymore. If there's four or more ingredients, I probably just won't buy it.
I fucking love snacks, but they took the fun out of it.
While Neo Gamma uses AI to walk and balance, the robot is not fully capable of autonomous movements today. To make in-home tests possible, Børnich says 1X is “bootstrapping the process” by relying on teleoperators — humans in remote locations that can view Neo Gamma’s cameras and sensors in real time, and take control of its limbs.
So yhis is a non-functional product.
Being able to walk autonomously is normally done with a lot of difficult math, which it sounds like they don't have the talent on staff to code.
Be sure to get your venture capital dollars in soon, because that's all this is here for.
Also, it's comforting to know that creepy robot face will initially be remote controlled by a rotating series of low paid total strangers. And by initially, we mean always (as in the case of Amazon checkout.)
This recipe is cool, but needlessly complicated.
As the top Hacker News comment points out, just grab Luanti and Mineclonia and start playing.
On your SteamDeck, boot to Desktop, search for
Luantiin the app store. Install. "Add to Steam". Reboot. Grab a community controller mapping. Enjoy.Or on Windows, Mac, Android, Linux or FreeBSD: Luanti Downloads, and enjoy.
Yes, you can play cross platform between all of these. Any running copy includes an optional server for your friends.
No, the system requirements aren't the same as Minecraft - you can get away with way cheaper hardware.
