Theoretically? Probably, I rarely touched windows outside of Windows centric shops. Practically, you’re going to have to make that a much more blurry line

There’s going to be times you have to deal with Windows. That can be as little as “effectively never” depending on your path and choices, but if you’re a hardliner it’s going to close doors on you just for picking a dumb hill to die on

I think it’s golden retrievers, they’re basically required to keep them from getting an anxiety disorder

Cheetahs aren’t dangerous, they’re big zoomy cats

Since they min-maxed for speed, they’re not very strong and don’t really fight for their food, they get bullied easily

Why I signed up to go through this hellscape

It’s not. Maybe they’ll fail, maybe it can’t math out, but it’s not vaporware

Limited trade… There were full on global trade networks through most of human history. Ironically, not as much across the Atlantic, because civilization in the Americas was centered on the West coast

But you find all sorts of stuff turning up everywhere. Not much of it, and most of it is lost to history, but enough to establish that global trade networks were the norm and not the exception

It seems promising, they’re acting like they’re close. They’ve been promising concrete deliverables, I think they’re supposed to have a working model that can actually capture the energy next year

You never know, but they’re called Triton if you want to check them out. They don’t share progress often, but when they do it seems pretty candid about their progress

It doesn’t anymore… It crashed like 5x today, and that’s not including the times where it froze for 5+ minutes and recovered

=3

Because companies don’t do R&D anymore, they fund startups and aquire them when they’re ripe

Being able to replace workers with AI is a holy Grail for capitalism, and so a ton of companies have poured their saved up “R&D funds” in order to get in early

I think they’re too big to bail out at this point

Also, no one wants US bonds right now, so we couldn’t borrow our way out of it even if we wanted to. We’d just have to print like a trillion or more dollars all at once

That’s kinda how therapy works. It’s 90% getting you talking, and 10% offering compensation strategies they’ve heard before

This is the fucker who put us on the worst timeline! Get their ass!

And the humans move around them, guiding parts into place with mechanical assistance and doing the finer details, because it’s really fucking hard to fully automate the process

Right… Conquer the stars…hides new global warming plan to do nothing about it behind back

Whenever someone says they turned out fine, I don’t believe them

It’s a very cope thing to say

Yeah, that’s what I want them to do. I want them to install docker, run some commands, correctly identify their graphics card and driver, and get the networking right. Then I want them to pick the model they want and download it

It’s not about making it hard, it’s about having a level of understanding about how this all works. If you’re using AI, I shouldn’t have to explain to you that it can’t search the Internet unless you manually give it that ability. I shouldn’t have to explain that the LLM is just a file, not some magical Internet djinn

Not to mention the horrifying intrusion on our rights by limiting what we can host.

Umm… You don’t have the right to host anything you want. You can’t host CSAM, copyrighted things, and you have to comply with tons of laws if you want user content

I agree with all that

But what I’m saying is you need a human-scale robot good at moving human scale work pieces to their correct place. These will range in size from something like a screw to something like a human sized sheet

What shape does this better than a humanoid one?

You could specially design a bunch of arms that will remove a workpiece from one station to deliver to the next, but do you have any idea how hard that becomes? You have to design each one to do that specific job, and you’re going to end up with a bunch of unique robots that all need to be maintained, and probably need their own backups in case they break

Everything we make is already human centric, it just does make sense to build humanoid robots. You can have one fleet that handles all of it, they’re interchangable generalists. Ideally, they can even do maintenance

Yes, it’s less efficient. Yes, specialist designs would be better at their job. But it is really, really hard to do full automation, and this is a shortcut to get there

Which one? There were three series, and only sg-1 had a real conclusion

Both Atlantis and universe were meant to keep going, they just got cancelled because of production costs

Because the automated tools are human scale

Even if you rework them all to be fully automatic, you still need a human scale robot to move the work pieces from station to station
