I enjoy the conversation here.

So many people are assuming there is true thought in OPEX, CAPEX, and employer rights and employer safety in these operations. As others mentioned, Thailand used Monkeys.

There is so much of a disconnect between this crowd and the farmers and the people this robot will actually replace.

What is the average annual income of a farm hand in Thailand, Philippines, or any country that has coconut farms with farm hands?

How about preventative maintenance?
Tariff, taxes and VAT (yeah they're all the same thing.)

"Additionally, while human coconut harvesters were found to work faster, Amaran could work for longer, potentially making up the difference."

It's controlled via a human, so, not really "work" longer, and then to scale up, how many robots do you really need vs available farm hands from the local province?

I don't see it succeeding or replacing farm hands for the reasons above.
Also American, I pronounce loo /lu/ and lieu /lyu/, in IPA.

I do commonly hear the expression "in lieu of" rendered "in loo of" but have always considered that incorrect, much like pronouncing the t in "often".

It is, of course, just dialect, and the entire idea of 'incorrect pronunciation' is suspect! But I can't help but consider /lyu/ to indicate a higher, er, register.
What about just setting your status in Teams to DnD? Use quiet hours to cut out certain days (weekends), and set status to DnD when you're done for the day, set to available when you start for the day? In desktop app you can manage exceptions for DnD and that should be respected on the mobile app.

The total market for AAA games right now is probably in the region of 250 to 300 million people if you look at the install base of xbox, playstation and pc.

With gamepass being on pc, xbox and cloud they could potentially capture a substantial part of that market and even expand it due to the low barrier of entry of xcloud or their rent to own scheme. They have 15 million subscribers now which is about 2 billion in revenue depending on the composition of their subscribers. They grew 50% in just 6 months. The potential for gamepass is therefore vast compared to traditional boxed products. If they capture 50% of the current market, thats 20 billion. That would be similar to netflix in size.
I know recently with COVID states were looking for COBOL people to work on older systems like unemployment and others. Wonder if something like this could let them write a more modern system but just copy and paste some of the business logic and create a bindings between them maybe. That's the main use case I'd think something like this would bring.

Wouldn't surprise me if some banks with modern websites using React, etc are just talking to some custom made http proxy on commodity hardware talking to the older mainframes on the same network where the actual real business logic is done.

Ah, "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need?"
So first, moving the SSH port to something non-standard is not the only step in securing a machine. It's a filter.

On my little jump server at home I used to get tens to hundreds of login attempts per hour. The server only allows for pubkey authentication and my fail2ban rules were strict (block after a single failed login) so the probing never went anywhere. Unfortunately the block lists got huge if I set the block time to a meaningfully long period. It also kept my server at a constant low utilization.

I then started forwarding a non-standard port (that didn't end in 22) and the number of attempted logins dropped to a dozen in a week. I could set my f2b rules to expire after days and not see any performance impact from a big iptables blocklist. My server's baseline load also dropped since it wasn't dealing with constant noise. I could also set up alerts on failed login attempts since I wasn't getting inundated with noise.

I started with a secure setup and increased security by changing the SSH port. Less noise means I can actually see when things happen. It's an outlier event when I get a failed login on my server.
This was a super fascinating article. The whole model is very different from what you normally hear about. In many ways it seems like the closest that VC has come to bringing back the commercial lab.
I agree that mobile-only was a poor move. I want to consume content on my own terms, and that is usually on a screen larger than my phone.

The fact that the videos are short is great. Most of the content I have watched throughout the pandemic has been YouTube videos between 5 and 15 minutes in length.
I see scope creep. I don't think it will be very suitable for quick get-webshit-done tasks because of its goals ans design, and they should focus on systems / high performance programming, like zig is doing.

To be more precise, you'd need to say that the palindrome is not only described by a deterministic context-free grammar, but that it is _not_ described by anything simpler.

Multiple different grammars can define the same language. There are context free grammars for regular languages.
This is a VERY quick deprecation period... wow. And I wonder how many people have developed something during Covid, in anticipation of Google turning back on "new paid items", and now can never use that effort.

Moreover, it sounds like they're saying there will be no solution for having the user purchase an app prior to downloading the app - all purchase flows will have to be in-app? This sounds like it will make for terrible UX, with apps not disclosing (or people not noticing) that they have no free features until after you've downloaded them....

I don't think you should interpret the article as saying they have solved automated coconut harvesting. This is a prototype which could eventually be integrated with other components to form a system which, at some point in the future, could replace manual labor.

Of course there are many situations where automation may never make sense. Then again, an automated solution may enable more growing scenarios to be profitable. It is good people are working on things that may not bear fruit for decades.
While I'm sure there's a lot of savings in many segments, I think some addressing of inflation is needed in this analysis. You can't inflate the monetary supply for free, as housing markets are showing right now...
Note that this is _total_ net worth which is a bad metric to track. If the small percentage of people who own stocks had an increased value in net worth due to the bull market, this metric goes up. A better metric would be tracking the median or quartile values since that would track the majority who are burning through their cash reserves due to a job loss.
This reminds me of a funny thought I had a while ago —

We never talk about it like this, but almost the entire food supply of most places was "organic" until very recently.

It is effectively a press-driven tax. TPTB feel obligated to pretend to care if it gets too much attention, so some fines get issued and life goes on.

You can tell the types of finance crime apart by looking for personal liability. If there isn't any, it is effectively a tax with a performative aspect.
Still, it works.

What you describe isn't necessarily a crime. But if the physical venue happened to be a secured area on a military base or intelligence installation, there's a good chance they'd go to jail. And even if the didn't, it would still be a crime.
I generally agree. Though just to be clear: Rome was never considered a democracy.

If you want a classic example, some of the Greek city states might count. Though keep in mind that many of the Greeks considered sortition (ie random selection) the hallmark of the democracy, and considered that voting would just lead to aristocracy or oligarchy.

The German Free Imperial Cities are an interesting object of study. And there's lots to be learned from eg China as well.

The point is more that goal $ holding in stock per household is very uneven. Most of those 55% don't have much in the way of stock, and then a very tiny number have $billions.
Note this includes retirement accounts (like 401(k), IRA). Not really directly reflective of "net worth" given it's more or less locked up until retirement.

"Forced" is a bit strong. They did the math and realized that being competitive in the browser market was not worth the $$$$ they would have to spend to get there. Given that web browsers aren't really going to make MS money, unless they manage to get full dominance (which isnt really their strategy anymore and would be difficult in modern context), it was probably a smart business decision. If the business calculus was different i am sure they could.

'Federated' is not even a feature.

'Privacy' itself is barely a feature - people do care, but it's rarely #1 on their list.

Techies viewing this from the more strategic, systems perspective have to get into the headspace of individuals to see it from a 'user centric' perspective - because the answer to many of the questions lie there.

For starters, very few people care that Facebook for example is 'centralized' - they care about the material value offered to them 'right now' which is to say, access to their friends, posts, information etc.. Everything is is a distant second. Issues that do not directly affect their experience an even more distant third.
With only one foreign conflict[0] at Rome's behest, Neros reign was remarkably peaceful too.

The other day I was casually reading the wikipedia article for Commodus[1] the baddy Emperor from the movie Gladiator and noted how peaceful his rule was. His only wars were when he was co-emperor with his father Marcus Aurelius, and ended when Commodus became solo ruler. By contrast, Marcus Aurelius[2] entire reign was at war and and he is marked by history as the last of the Five Good Emperors.

Wonder how much we think of Roman Emperors comes from the writing and propaganda of their contemporary elites. Rome had an economy based on the back of slaves [3] captured in war after all, so it would not surprise me that elites would praise hawkish Emperors and deride the doves.

There was actually some truth to remote viewing working in very specific scenarios. Operationally is a different story though.

The studies, Ganzfeld experiments, said once you learn if you were right or not, your skill improves a little. For some reason young students from Julliard had the highest scores.
The test was 4 possible pictures iirc and you must guess the picture another person is looking at.

In a meta-analysis over 25 Ganzfeld experiments, where the design enabled the test subject to guess right in 25 percent of the cases, the overall hit rate was 37 percent. The odds for this to happen by chance is about a trillion to one, clearly showing that there has to exist something else than coincidence that enables the test subjects to perceive the telepathically transferred image. When artistically gifted musicians from the Julliard School in New York City were tested, they were even able to produce a hit rate as remarkable as 75 percent. [24,36,44]

In a meta-analysis of 653 formal sessions and 126 nonformal sessions of remote viewing, conducted at Princeton University from 1976 to 1999, the overall results gave a significant result with odds against chance of 33 million to one that it was possible for an individual to receive sensory impressions from a distant location.

Most people don’t. Or they pay very little compared to something like Slack. Microsoft provides lots of incentives for Enterprise EA customers.

Teams also works with enterprise PBX and hybrid environments, which is lucrative for enterprise customers.

I don’t like Teams personally but I understand why companies choose it. Better this than Skype for Business.

At what point do you start to wonder if this level of mismanagement is purposeful? The number of flaws across multiple different programs. (Serious flaws no less.) The number of management missteps. It just feels almost like either a purposeful tanking, or the sort of slow motion, but accelerating, collapse that happens when you've filled every level of an organization with less than able people.
Yes agree with you there are more than one solution, crane was just one thought. This is thinking out of the box and a cornerstone of innovation. My concern with robotics is sometimes it's much easier to use humans and with application of sufficient amount of technology can be much better. In some cases robots are essential where humans are too difficult to operate. So we need both, but in this specific article they mentioned coconut harvester in India and here there isn't a need for this robot except as learning exercise.
And at some point users will no longer be able to help with it. According to the image on the page, they seem to expect that might be as soon as Q3'21.
You're getting downvoted because you are talking from a place of objectivity. From my understanding (outside of the Wii U), aren't they the only company not losing money on consoles - even now? Why would you bring up "selling themselves" when talking about a company founded in 1889? None of the competitors existed that long - using your logic, Sony and Microsoft might as well count their last days.

This is about a week old, and if I recall correctly, Sony came out afterwards denying this report.
Assange is accused of more than that. Manning gave him something they thought was a hashed password. Assange tried to crack it so that Manning could use it to steal more data.

A journalist can receive information from a thief, but if the journalist starts helping the thief cracks safes to steal more stuff, that is a whole other story.
It is. It's focused on the benefits that Leissner obtained for himself and Goldman Sachs and the bribes that were paid to facilitate and overlook things, since those are the two aspects subject to US jurisdiction.
No need to make up your own definitions. Net worth = assets - liabilities. 401(k) and IRAs count as assets, and you can draw from them with various amount of flexibility depending on how dire your financial situation is.
