  • very safe when handled correctly

    Too many people are not educated about that.

    The problem lies in the manufacturing of these needed chemicals. When these chemicals get into the environment, because of improper safety managemen

    Which is one of the reasons for that law, see:

    Dubbed "Amara's Law" after 20-year-old cancer victim Amara Strande, who in 2023 succumbed to a rare type of liver cancer linked to PFAS after growing up near a Minnesota-based 3M plant that dumped them into the local water supply, the new regulation bans the chemicals and any items made with them from being sold within the state.

  • I don't know about the equipment of Waymo cars, but I would be surprised if they didn't have LIDARs or some other form of distance based environment detection.

    And that should be sufficient to implement basic obstacle detection. You don't need to use machine learning if you can use sensors telling you that "something is too close".

  • It has represented over 1000 people so far.

  • Wrong:

    1. Pizza-time
    2. Lazy-time
    3. Caffeine-addiction-time
  • What would happen with circular connectors?

  • Telegram is 100% backdoored

    What makes you so sure?

  • Seagate. The company that sold me an HDD which broke down two days after the warranty expired.

    No thanks.laughing in Western Digital HDD running for about 10 years now

  • Selling to Disnep was a huge mistake. Putting all the fabulous work of the expanded universe in the back for "creative freedom" and labeling it "fan fiction" basically killed Star Wars for me. Why make movies about Yuuzhan Vong, a novel and incredibly fascinating and creatively written species as the new menace, not detectable by the force, if you can just recycle the old movies?

  • Hm okay. English is not my native language. I've checked this with a dictionary and found it to be an adequate description, even discussed this with ChatGPT. It pointed out that this can also be understood in the way you've described it.

    What I meant were people who practise in esotericism, like briefly described here. Besides "stupid", what do you suggest to describe such people?

    Also, thanks for pointing that out!

  • Isn't "esoteric people" an accurate description?

  • Yeah, we've got those who promise themselves health benefits from drinking raw milk. I have the impression that this is mostly prevalent in esoteric people, as usual with such stuff.

    But such beneficial claims of raw milk consumption appear to be not scientifically sound and are a myth.https://doi.org/10.1097/NT.0000000000000108

  • The famous flying fish.

  • They’re not just pests

  • When deputies first arrived at the scene, they realized the restaurant's doors were locked, despite employees still being inside. The employees unlocked the doors for the deputies and explained that many upset customers would act out violently or even resort to talking, so they were just trying to be safe, according to the video.

    Oh no, the customers might resort to talking! Quick! Lock the doors!

  • For the non-roboticists: SLAM = Simultaneous Localization And Mapping.

    In robot navigation problems we often face the problem to get a grasp of the environment and the robot's position in it. It's easier if there's already a map provided and some sort of external observer who knows where the robot is relative to the map.

    Since people don't usually go into your home to map it out and install some sensors in order to locate the robot, SLAM is the way to go. While moving through an environment, a map of the environment is created and by utilzing some fancy techniques based on sensor data like from cameras, mic+loudspeaker, LIDAR or whatever, it is possible to also infer the robot's position.

  • When no one was looking.

  • Due to the "being allergic" part this is unfortunately not possible for me. But thanks for trying to provide me with a different perspective.

  • Fair point. Although one may say this is fine here for comic purposes.

    The same argument could be made about the statement "Gods perfect creation".But I'd argue that the suggestion of a creationist god expands the distance to scientific contexts even more while simple speech bubbles are fine due to less ideological conflict potential.

    Admittedly, I am also rather allergic to religions, which is why I am having a difficult time with that part of the meme.

  • Nice!

  • Me too. It's a science meme community after all.
