Is there a reference design/concept for zero-human warehouse operations? Stretch looks like something optimized for warehouses designed around human operators.

If I were trying to say the word 'Volkswagen' to a German person, I would do my best to pronounce it in a way they would understand.

As most of the time I ever say the word 'Volkswagen' out loud it's to my fellow English speakers, pronouncing it in the expected English way seems way less pretentious and effective.
There is no such advantage to building autonomous weapons, not at this stage. Where China is so far, their limitation isn't finding the staff to control weapons, and they don't face a situation where expandability is the main issue - their issue is mainly finishing catching up militarily.

So the issue is really your premises about it making you "nearly unstoppable", it leads to no such thing. The advantage is much slimmer than you might think, especially right now. As it is, unmanned but non-autonomous weapons provide 99% of the functionality.

Additionally, neither the US, Israel, the UK, or Russia are making their autonomous weapons programs secret.
From what I have seen VW had a sort of genuine reckoning with the whole diesel issue. They have reinvented themselves, shed cruft, cut all fuel vehicle development and completely devoted themselves to an electric future (vehicles, batteries, chargers). They have turned things around wholesale and are now producing amazing, relatively affordable electric vehicles (their new id.4 SUV will debut in the US for just a little more than a tricked out Honda CR-V, once you factor in the federal tax credit).

I was excited by Tesla but they remained expensive. Now feel like VW will have a chance to bring electric vehicles to a much larger group of people... a group I fit into and I can't wait.

I agree that that wouldn't do as a confession. I believe that would be considered an invalid confession, just like withholding grave sins that you didn't want to talk about.

My disagreement is in the idea of permanently accepting a lifestyle oriented around gay sex while also trying to remain a Christian. That lifestyle is clearly contrary to the church teachings, so maintaining such a stance over a lifetime requires spiritual stagnation such that you don't have to face the dissonance involved. That assumes a foundation of belief; without belief, church is like any other social function; with it, the idea of rejecting teachings shouldn't seem like a viable path. There are plenty of churches where such dissonance is the norm and a welcome contributor to doctrine, but if you aren't taking the teachings as foundational, then you're sort of just using Jesus as a figurehead of a pretty nice guy, which the Catholic church reliably objects to.

Having said all that, there are plenty of problems with implementation. I don't think you'd have to look far to find a Catholic church where many or most people agree to quietly disagree about contraception.They shouldn't be allowed to do so,but it's a much easier thing to hide. And you could argue that it's a much less visible, and thus less subversive, transgression (not clear that that's true.)

In both of those cases, though, the last thing the church should be doing is casting believers out. If they do that, they're abdicating their very clear responsibility to help those people. Whether you agree with those changes being "help", from the perspective of doctrinally sound preachers/congregants/parishes, directing others to lives ordered toward church teachings is the most important and morally obligatory thing.

Yes. This is a huge gap right now. AI/ML have advanced to the point that complex tasks can be done fairly cheaply. Implementations are easier to find than valid use cases. I've seen more than a few enterprises build giant data lakes and feed them into sophisticated analysis tools, yet the data never seems to inform any decisions. I've seen computer vision used for some cute gimmicks and it's very accurate, but no one could figure out what it was actually good for in a practical application. Same for AR, blockchain and some others. The tech is amazing, but no one knows what to do with it. We need some user experience visionaries more than we need more engineers right now.

In fact, as noted above, the article was originally written in the 90s, and this line about Trump was in the original version written long before even Apprentice days.

If you want to know there’s plenty of reliable sources like the doe (and if you want confirmation bias rather than facts, there’s plenty of unreliable sources)

Last time someone made a comment like yours, I actually tried googling and there’s a doe site that actually tells you the carbon emissions by state for an ev, hybrid or normal gas car given that states specific energy sources.

Even W Virginia, the worst state I could find, having about 90% coal, gives much lower emissions for an ev than a gas car. And that’s with the current mix. It’s only getting better from here. And that’s the worst state!

Chevy Volt marketing guys must be pouncing on ideas to make fun of this.
here's an article I usually reference when this kind of question comes up:

https://web.archive.org/web/20170417164448/https://www.vanco...

tldr;

In dirty electricity regions, driving on electricity creates similar climate pollution to gasoline.

Regions that burn mostly coal and natural gas to generate electricity create high levels of climate pollution for each kWh. In Alberta, for example, a Plug-In Prius will cause a similar amount of climate pollution driving on gasoline as it does driving on Alberta's electricity.

Some electric car owners have worked around this problem by putting up their own solar panels, or by purchasing cleaner electricity directly from their utility.

PhD's have been trying to act as gatekeepers of "Data Science" for the past decade. It's only getting easier for people to apply this stuff. Unless you're doing actual research in these algorithms, there is little need to "understand the math" beyond an undergraduate level.

As a presenter I prefer in-person events by far. Virtual events are so much speaking into the void with no feedback. Sometimes not even certainty whether connection or such might have been broken. Audience helps to see if jokes work and if audience keeps up or is getting bored as i go too slow. Also in a virtual event there is the risk of preproduction a talk, with artificial perfection.

As an participant for me the "hallway track" often is the most interesting, where I get into random discussions and run into people In otherwise rarely meet.
Per dmux's comment, the article is actually from the 90s and the reference to Trump was there then, too. So absolutely not politically motivated, barely even sneering to be honest.

I don't necessarily do a huge number of breakouts when I'm at a conference anyway. It's mostly meetings, social, and serendipitous interactions.

With virtual conferences, I definitely have a limit both because of distractions and just fatigue. It's one reason I've pretty much refused to pay for any of the conferences that were still trying to charge relatively big bucks last year. I just wouldn't have gotten the same value out of them.
The picture in the article illustrates the over dramatization. Humans always seek the edge of knowledge. We expand all the time. It's not like we don't have a billion problems to solve.
> 20% less energy dense than lithium ion

That's 20% as dense (1/5 the density), not 20% less dense (4/5 the density).

As for replacing the chassis—a Tesla Model S has 1,200 lbs of batteries, and the aluminum chassis weighs 410 lbs. Assuming this new material replaces the aluminum pound-for-pound, that would store enough energy to displace about 82 lbs of ordinary lithium ion batteries for a ~5% reduction in total weight. If the energy density were somehow on par with lithium ion then it would save 410 lbs, or 25% of the total weight.
I said this in another comment, but I think that you think I find this controversial, and I don't. and I keep forgetting that this is the default assumption these days on wealth related topics.

My thoughts are limited to exactly what I said and I am content with this reality that the profits accumulated during their lifetime are counted as self-made, it doesn't say anything about how the first one million or any amount was made, and that wage earners are excluded from playing from math alone.
One must first define terms.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_(Norwegian_law)

I am suprised to see that Norway's definiton is actually very broad, encompassing some killings that common law nations would not call murder (negligence). I do, now, appreciate that Norwegian law draws lines between intentional murder and planned murder. Common law (british) stops at intention, planning being irrelevant as you would generally be hanged either way. There has to be a historical basis for Norway's approach. Viking law?
"But my experience, and those among my friends (I was part of a local VW enthusiast club) is that the cars are fine. But the kicker is you need to stay on top of your maintenance. If you skimp on the regular work, you end up paying for it in the end. "

This is the absolute truth about most modern cars. The main thing I look for now in a used car is parts availability and how well the car has been maintained.

> Wealth is accumulated through habits; at least in a free society like ours.

This is a pretty universal statement if you ask me, and used in the context of praise of someone who started with wealth.

Pointing out that it does not apply universally, and the extending the idea to state that people in poverty are not truly participants in the "free society" mentioned, is a fair development of the discussion in my opinion.
So do you have a rational explanation for all the permafrost sinkholes opening in Siberia? Or the ice shelfs melting? Or half of antartica disappearing? Or Australia, and Western United States constantly on fire?

Do you know what a feedback loop is? Heat rises, permafrost melts, methane is released causing heat to rise more, more permafrost/ice is melted causing higher temps.

Do you know what happens if we lose bees and other polinators, and how close we are to losing them because of pesticides?

Not really. Volt is pronounced like a soft w, not like an F.

> Pronunciation doesn't go like that but that is a big discussion for its own thread

Honestly it kinda does. I wince every time I hear emoji pronounced like いmoji (where the e rhymes with tea) instead of えmoji (where the e rhymes with meh), or pluralize Japanese nouns (“emojis” “sushis”). That said, this is a me problem. People are going to pronounce words in whatever way makes sense to them, where the emphasis goes, how it is pronounced, which vowels get emphasized or contracted together will change over time. There is a reason we don’t all sound like Elizabethan-era Englishmen when we speak English.

Even proper nouns such as names get adapted. How many different variations and pronunciations are there for the name “John” in Europe?

I had the same experience - I learned enough to pass the tests and then forgot everything as soon as the semester ended. I picked it back up out of genuine interest years later and it was amazing how much I retained now that I was actually studying because I wanted to rather than because I had to. You might also be surprised how much you actually do remember, hidden just under the surface of your consciousness, if you do go back and try to remediate on your own.

just a thought, maybe a premature release, actually planned for April fools day?
Yes. A lot of external clock/calendar chips use a small amount of CMOS RAM to retain the registers. The objective is very low power consumption when the main power bus is off and the device is drawing off of battery or capacitor.

A common part I use is the Epson PCF8563, for example.

https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/data-sheet/PCF8563.pdf

Now the PS4 doesn't seem to have an external chip from the teardowns I've seen. And the term "CMOS Battery" makes no sense other than shorthand for "battery that backs up CMOS memory".

But I'd wager the gates on the custom Sony silicon responsible for keeping time are CMOS or similar technology to minimize power when disconnected from mains (and how often is that? I'm curious what their design criteria is for that).
It is respectful to at least attempt to pronounce names from different cultures. In many cases, I totally understand it is difficult. In those cases, an attempt is great. In this case, the syllable F exists in Latin and I don't see why it.

I must say, I have seen many many times a lack of interest to even attempt to pronounce of even write a name properly. One example which comes to my mind is Ghandi instead of Gandhi.

> In my experience, toddlers do not have a need for discoverability of everyday things, as they don't seem to figure objects out on their own, beyond trying to push, pull, bite or throw them

Toddlers are preternaturally patient - they will try all possible combinations of push, pull, bite and/or throw until they find a combination that works.

Also, they can easily transfer skills that may not be seem related to an adult - I encouraged a toddler to understand how carseat buckle works (they wanted to "help"): unfortunately, those skills are directly transferable to defeating buckle-based child-proofing products <facepalm>
