  • people who work in robotics, which one do you think is more efficient generally, polyped or biped?

  • There's some cool research into quiet done blades that might help.

  • Yup, or even a flying drone if you don't need much payload.

  • Factories already use a ton of different robots, none of them bipedal. You use people for when the task is too fiddly for a robotic end effector, like wiring harnesses. Or sometimes things with dynamic environments like loading/unloading boxes. For that use case, Boston Dynamics actually made a wheeled robot.

    Spot's use case is retrofitting robotics into things that weren't meant for it. But it's rarely the right choice if you're building something new.

  • Mounted to a concrete pad of you can get away with it. On rails if you can't. If you need to move in more than one direction, use wheels, steerable or mechanum. If you need to move over strange terrain, like stairs or rubble, then you might want to look at legs. (Tracks are another option) If you can fit 4 legs, that's usually more stable. If you can't, you might be able to make it work with 2. So bipedal is really a last resort if all else fails for your use case.

  • YouTube traffic in Russia drops 80% as authorities try to curb access

    Jump

  • 80% of people watching YouTube in Russia are now using a VPN.

  • What's the highest score you got in a game?

  • I wonder what the maxout score on a TI83 would be

  • Unless you have a huge kitchen/open floor plan and the cook is okay with it. A lot of houses are designed with the kitchen as a conversing area too, it really depends.

  • Arizona School’s Curriculum Will Be Taught by AI, No Teachers

    Jump

  • I've found Kahn pretty good, but do they use AI? As in LLMs, or just nural nets? And what does it tweak?

  • Bring back the 99 cent cheesy double beef burrito

  • I've found Mexican places are just about the cheapest sit down restaurants, but I'm sure it varies some by location.

  • Have you seen UFOs and other aerial phenomenons you have trouble explaining?

    Jump

  • For the first one, were to looking towards Cape Canaveral? Sounds kinda like a falcon 9 booster return to launch sight. The sun will illuminate the rocket stage as it gets higher.

  • But my favorite single digit billionaire pop star is one of the "good billionaires"!

  • You can buy an airline with that sort of money, not just a few fights.

  • What does Taylor spend money on? Since she's still a billionaire I'm guessing she doesn't give it all to charity.

  • Does your business care about information security? There might be an argument there.

  • Agree, and just viewing PDFs has much less clutter around the outside than Adobe.

  • It has been two years since the release of ChatGPT. How has it impacted your work or personal life? What changes have you experienced, and do you see it as a positive or negative influence

  • Friends and I have had a good laugh writing rap battles or poems about strangely specific topics, but that's about it.

  • I'm familiar with the BBC, but I don't know about their Russian service. Is it the same coverage, or an independent branch? I've seen articles by the investigator I think, but same thing, is this their Russian branch? I've never heard of the first one.

  • Meaning one's that didn't agree with Russia's official stance, or ones claiming to be independent but still funded by Russia? Those would be very different things.
