I used to work in a robotic lab. It’s kind of amazing to me that someone would let a… maybe… 80 lb robot run around in a store without a kill switch.

On a side note, it’s kind of amazing how far physical robotics has come in just that small amount of time. Although, it seems like from a operational standpoint, there hasn’t really been a paradigm shift, in terms of spatial awareness.

This is just simple inverse kinematics, with the most impressive thing being the auto-balancing and micro adjustments to a shifting center’s gravity. Impressive, yes. But, it is a technology that’s existed for a pretty long time, just not in consumer electronics.

Still, I feel like the idea of a full on android is closer than I believed previously. The hardware is pretty much there. If we really do see an exponential acceleration in software development, then I suppose it is inevitable.

I would like to mirror another commentor and mention that Shougo is Japanese and probably issuing Claude to communicate.

I started over doing entry level spray tech work treating exotic plants through americorps and worked my way up. I do a lot of field data collection and gis work now. So, I still utilize my old software skills. I work for my local government doing environmental land management.

GIS is definitely a software adjacent job that is utilized a lot in land management. But that isn’t the initial route I took. I really did just kind of started over.

I did this 9 years ago. I make 2/3rds of what I did in software, but I don’t regret it. pivoted to environmental work. My job satisfaction is like, a thousand percent better.

It’s kind of similar, I think. I mean most store bought bread is low quality compared to the artisinal product. Corporations don’t care if the product sucks so long as they can replace the worker.

This is such a weird post. Is it satirical? Baking as a profession functionally does not exist anymore.

I got elden ring recently. Played it for maybe 4 hours so far. I am utterly convinced that the narrative style is tounge and cheek. Like, actually a joke. That isn’t to say it’s not deep, or interesting on face value, but it’s just so immediate; such a firehose of wackyness… It reminds me of metalgear, so much in its way of being simultaneously non-serious and serious.

At this point it’s literally cheaper and easier to fight WWIII IRL.

Settings->system->switch

It’s prettyI think they could really use making a web page that covers all the current features, because some of the old articles say that the switch doesn’t work or it doesn’t support the Fairphone moments app. I think it actually does, although I haven’t used it yet.

I just got mine yesterday (also USA). I am a little sad to lose tap to pay. Hopefully, microg and team come up with a solution.

The only app that completely refuses to work so far is ClaudeAi.

I configured the physical switch to the flashlight. Are you leaving it on mic and camera?

Where did you get this picture of me 😅😅😅

Shit rolls downhill

😂 girl, I’m not a cop!

God I wish they’d stop putting cameras in these and just make a nice pair of prescription glasses with good integrated headphones, a heads of display, and some basic touch controls on the stem.

I would genuinely enjoy this for easy listening and maps.

He was giving them real school shooter vibes, to the point that employees were manually reviewing his account, but they choose to ban him because they saw it is less than credible.

“I’m not not saying that I gendered this robot as a woman because otherwise it would immasculate me, I just want to flirt with young woman over which I have complete control.”

I regularly attend my local for fire council and burn as part of my work. Wildland firefighters are constantly exposed to carcinogens. There are no standard mask, and with few exceptions basically no one uses them in my state. There are no regulations on clean areas for decon or outdoor storage for contaminated grear. No one ever cleans trucks so the inside is more dangerous than the outside from an air quality perspective. Your clothes give you cancer, your boots give you cancer, the foam gives you cancer, your office gives you cancer, the work gives you cancer.

It’s extra fun if you do prescribed fire because you don’t even get the same pay grade in most orgs because it’s “safer.” The USA is truly a shithole country. I’m lucky that I do it only 12 days or so a year, instead of full time.

So many levels of wrong. That’s a gen 2, maybe 3 Prius. Both of which have instant electric torque and scroll style AC compressors which run with the engine off. Excellent cars which are still good value today.
