> Or was this a case of Neato just not being good?

I think this is a software issue with Neato. My previous bot was the cheapest Ecovacs with LiDAR and vacuum base station, and it could adapt to furniture movement, large boxes appearing and disappearing in the living room, etc without too much trouble.

LiDAR (on the Ecovacs bots) does struggle with mirrors and floor-to-ceiling windows. Even the X1 Omni is convinced there's another room "inside" the large mirror I have in the living room. It's okay though since I just draw a no-go zone or no-go lines on the map wherever there's something odd.

Really the best results will always use sensor fusion - LiDAR mapping + camera object avoidance + physical bump sensor seems to work pretty well on the Ecovacs bots. I love the improvement in cable and shoelace avoidance since upgrading to a model with vision.
Ok, I need help. I don't get it nor the seals one.

And yet TFA is in large part about how government backed monopolies can and did give rise to significant R&D ....
Tesla still has an "early adopter" and tech aura(IMHO). I wouldn't say it's seen as luxury in Europe. I believe they sell well in Europe because they have the best batteries/range and little competition. I believe once (if) Mercedes and the other brands ramp up production on their electric cars Tesla will have a very hard time competing. They have to deliver either better tech or better value(price). They cannot compete on "luxury" or brand. Tesla itself markets as a tech company (to investors and everyone else). It sells the first move advantage(i.e. battery tech, economy of scale)
> Someone really needs to step up ARM processor design because no matter how much I detest Apple's business practices, I can't deny that their ARM chip is far superior to the rest of the market

Never going to happen unless regulators do something about Qualcomm's monopoly. Apple is pretty much the only company with the resources to fight them, yet they still can't get away from Qualcomm parts even in their latest iPhones.

If it wasn't for Qualcomm, I think powerful ARM workstations would've arrived much, much sooner (among other innovations). But of course, monopolies are an enemy of innovation.

EDIT: Okay, "never" may be an exaggeration, but if it's going to happen, it's going to happen on Qualcomm's schedule, not the free market's.

Don't print them onto vinyl, cut them out of vinyl. They're all single-color or two-color with no gradients, so they're designed to be cut.

You can get a cheap little USCutter MH series for under $300, blades from aliexpress for $15, and a few rolls of vinyl and transfer tape from Wensco for about $20/ea. That's well within the price of a good printer, and the results are substantially higher contrast and more durable.

My Asus Android tablet, abandoned without a single Android OS update, begs to differ.
It's also possible that iRobot owns patents related to technology Amazon is planning to use. Besides brush/cleaning-related patents, iRobot owns the rights to several techniques used to map and zone a space.
I remember years ago rejecting this approach (encrypt internal keys) because the key size I was using wasn't the same as the block size of any standard block cypher and I didn't know of any variable size block size cypher.

And the underlying engineering is unreliable for some models --- which is a shame --- I'm still sad that my Asus Note 8 w/ Wacom stylus quit working (just after I'd kitted it out w/ every accessory I needed), and I regret not picking up their b/w LCD unit.
Anyone have a link to a breakdown of iRobots revenue by product-type, business-unit, vertical, etc.?

Ask because I am curious how much of their revenue is consumers, industrial, military, etc.
I was initially pretty hyped when I read the abstract for DIDs, bookmarked the spec and read it later. The "spec" is a bunch of buzzwords and vague generic "concepts". The DIDs themselves mean basically nothing, it's the "methods" that actually must have their own specification and actually "do something".

Another feeling you can quickly get from DIDs is that they're blockchain centric.

The entire concept is "jack of all trades, master of none". I actually hope to be wrong, and see some more fully fledged implementations/examples of real world use-cases, because I love the idea of federated/decentralized identity.
VCs are private companies which invest and manage private money and they are not regulating anything. FTC is a government entity which is required by law to regulate markets. That is my layman understanding. And there are hundreds of VCs so if one VC does not believe in your mission and vision find another one but there is only one FTC.

It will steer around the rug automatically I think, and you can mark the rug locations as no-go zones or no-mop zones. The Roborock is better for mixed floor types because it will actually raise the mop up to vacuum in no-mop zones. The X1 needs to have the mop removed manually to do a vacuum-only pass.
Could you elaborate more on "We already know Amazon has a service to sell data to police" statement?
I advocate this as well. It’s superior in almost all ways to the portable screens of which I’ve tried many, and you also have an iPad, ideally with cellular chip. :-) On many short trips you can leave the actual laptop at home.

> Perhaps your personal freedom must stop when it starts causing violence.

Just about everyone agrees that personal freedom does not extend to causing violence. The difficult bit is what constitutes 'causing'.
JRE Alex Jones appears as my first suggestion as soon as I type "JRE Al". "JRE Robert" initially didn't show Robert Malone, but I didn't know who he was, and after I searched his name, his Joe Rogan podcast appeared as a suggestion. Honestly, it sounds like you're coming into this with a huge preconceived notion that Google goes out of the way to mildly inconvenience the far right. If you really care about "conservative censorship", ask your Republican representatives to make Google a common carrier instead of virtue signalling about how bad big tech is to score cheap political points.
When you don't pay for a service, you are the product, not the customer.

This isn't a flaw of capitalism. If search ever became onerous or inaccurate enough - a paid service will emerge.

For the moment, we've collectively "decided" that the current state is still worth it.
None of this information will be true or working in the short future. They'll "fail fast", "break things", say they've read your mind and give you what you really wanted.
You don't need to go to the black market. You can look up the property at the county (or whatever) clerk's office or look at satellite imagery and get a pretty good approximation.

A ton of things are public information to a greater or lesser degree whether you like it or not.
There's a lot of assumptions in this comment about (a) what people want (b) what people are willing to do (c) the conceptual level at which "integration" can and should take place.

Look at other tools (non-computational). The story there doesn't look much like what you're proposing. Maybe there's agreement on lumber and thread sizing, but in general, tools do not interoperate much. Whatever level of integration they do have comes mostly from having to interface with the physical universe. In addition, most people don't know how to use most tools, and things are broadly left to experts ("tradesmen").
Environmentalism ends up in such a catch-22. Of course you want to acknowledge that environmental efforts actually work, but, I think there is also a fear that if there is acknowledgement that things are improving, society will immediately revert to the behaviors that caused the problem in the first place, or worse.

This content seems very hopeful to me. So long was we refrain from adding "acute stress" to the reef, there is a chance that it can recover over the years.
>Now those episodes have been controversial, and I only bring them up because it's the example that came to my head (before someone misses the whole point and starts looking at the finger)

As you can see in my initial post.. or maybe you don't, I avoid talking about things like this on HN because most people here are smart enough to look between the lines but some only pretend to look at the finger to win an argument, well..

I was talking about censorship, and I don't "want" or "not want" Alex Jones to be suggested, and I won't pretend to tell a private company how to do their business, so I just stopped using Youtube and most other social media.

>Perhaps your personal freedom must stop when it starts causing violence.
Of course if you call for violence on others, but if I say that people of party X are liars, then my fans start attacking them on the street, am I causing harm or are my fans the ones who cause the harm? If it's my fault then most politicians call each other liars and criminals every other week...

Also about the children thing I'm not up to date with it, but I know he said Sandy Hook was fake and something happened (I'm not American), but the guy says lots of crazy stuff and always has, it's still not a reason to censor anyone.

I doubt you'll understand how small steps like this can lead to somethings that in hindsight we see as catastrophic, but a system (like soviet russia or nazi germany) is built step by step, today we censor you, tomorrow we deepfake the president's face and post it on twitter, very soon we throw you in a concentration camp.

>but is that possible that SUGGESTING Alex Jones is actually causing harm to many people?

There are videos of kids challenging each other to balance on the rooftop of a skyscraper, videos of Islamic priests calling for the death of unbelievers, ads for fast-food with a shit ton of sugar and fat, videos on how to make high powered infrared lasers that can blind someone without even being visible to the naked eye, videos of home made guns, etc... and they all get suggested in the search bar once you type in a few words.

Other thoughts:

Also an important thing to note is that the Alex Jones lies (that he maybe believed since he's not 100% in there) on Sandy Hook resulted in zero deaths. Mainstream media and CIA misinformation on weapons of mass destruction resulted in 1 million+ innocent Iraqis dying in "Operation Iraqi Freedom" yet no one has ever tried to ban them from anything, are those Iraqi kids just not that important? Are they less than us because they're not white?

Alex Jones and Johnny Depp gets publicly televised trials but none for Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein, all the "terrorist suspects" in Guantanamo, Julian Assange, and so on and so forth

That's a great story, haha. Thank you for sharing.
The paradox is that as long as it's difficult to become in charge, only the really ambitious people will get there, and these generally aren't the people who'll serve others. Back to the lottery system?
Sure, but odds are he lived in some outer suburb that is no longer the outer suburb. That woods might have hung on for a while, but it was always doomed just be the fact that it was near a large growing city where most people live and thus remember. Get out a little farther from the city and the wilderness is going to do just fine, but that isn't what people will remember as a kid just by virtual that they never lived near it.
Maybe they are buying the brand, more than the tech. I bought an amazon basics vac for something like 60 USD which just stole the design of the latest cheap vac, so presumably can plunder the more advanced models too, once the market is ready for them.
It's the cars for me. I hate driving. I hate how everyone having a car makes it necessary to drive everywhere. Very few cities in the us let you get away without owning a car.

NYC isn't perfect, its just better than everywhere else ive lived.
It, uhm, works with a keyboard. While touch-based UX is nearly flawless, there are some weird delays, e.g. when switching keyboard layout (you may not know of this problem if your language uses Latin script) -- very annoying since it tends to swallow characters.
Sure, it works for some. But for most the return is not (officially) promised and if you want to actually access the money, you have to sell the asset on a market. With Ponzi, you can just collect dollars and run away. Some Ethereum scam coins do work like this, ETH in place of USD, but Ponzi as a generalization for the entire crypto space is simply incorrect.

If you don't mind doing the things you're doing, is "discipline" really a useful word for describing this? I'm not necessarily disagreeing; it just looks like an argument about definitions, and perhaps a bit pointless. Though I agree that CBT, meditation and introspection should be a part of your "making sure I don't find it painful to do some worthwhile things" toolkit, which is a very useful point.
That's because they didn't pay for the externalities or suffer from them. But that's changing fast. Maybe they'll change their mind.
An embry has the potential to become a person.

This can still be the case if wage growth went disproportionately to low earners who produce widely consumed goods/services, whose prices were deflated due to low wages.

As an extreme example, suppose all farmers were unpaid slaves. Slavery gets outlawed, and farmers now get paid. Food prices rise dramatically, resulting in massive inflation overall (and thus a fall in real wages for everyone except farmers).
Totally agree with the author, I loved this feature and copying parts of text/URLs is more difficult now.

>They think they know Facebook has the financial resources to buy out anyone with even a slight chance of becoming a competitor, and are leveraging that in an anti-competitive fashion.

Ofc they know it; Facebook/Meta is a public company with a huge cash pile and the pressure from investors to spend that cash is only increasing. They already spend billions for R&D just like their tech peers and the best way to spend the rest of the cash is apparently acquisitions.
For a laptop, it's a small machine with a large screen. For a desktop, don't know.

This is probably going to cost a lot and installing Linux would probably mean to forfeit all the screen modes except one (I don't expect much driver support - but maybe xrandr?) anyway I can see me buying something like that.

Too bad for the missing touchpad buttons (three of them, this is almost a deal breaker), wonderful not having a number pad, I didn't check if it can be upgraded (RAM, SSD) and which ports it has. My wishes: video, ethernet, 3.5 audio jack, at least two USB A 3.0, USB C would be ok, I bet there are adapters for old hardware.

Now we wait for the cameras and microphones. Gotta hand it to Bezos, they're building a solid fleet of home espionage devices.

Maybe not now, or even in 20 years. But they have a lot of power.

Imagine that. A corporate-run national coup, all thanks to people's laziness.
I think Linux is still much better than MacOS in terms of design and usability, but that doesn't really mean much when operating systems compete on compatibility with programs (which themselves compete on compatibility with operating systems). It is a vicious cycle.

If your job requires you to run AutoCAD or VSC++ or something, you're just going to use windows. The average user isn't going to figure out how to use KVM or Wine or something. If your job requires some linux/unix tool, is the average user going to fidget with it until it works in MacOS or just use Ubuntu or something? MacOS is the worst of both worlds: it is both closed-source AND a minority OS.

Most subrubs don't need sidewalks. there is zero traffic, so kids can play in the streets just fine. Stop the game when a car is coming. The car can even go slow (though it probably won't if there are no kids) as there is noplace to go on that street and so it doesn't have far to go.
Amazon Robotics has been actively poaching talent from iRobot already, but I think it's probably a little of everything: talent, data, and the bump they can give to iRobot sales.
I've encountered this problem in real code bases when you have a getter function for a complex data structure. You have to decide between:

field *my_struct_get_field(my_struct *s)
const field *my_struct_get_field(const my_struct *s)

In practice you will choose the first instance, so you simply won't use const where you could. Which is unfortunate.

It would be nice to have a shorthand for this. The nested macro shown in the paper looks like it can fix the problem, but is quite complicated. I would like something like:

autoconst field *my_struct_get_field(autoconst my_struct *s)

The returned pointer inherits the qualifiers of the argument. Inside the getter function the pointer is const, and there is only one implementation of the function.

As a replacement for my laptop, I hate this. But as an auxiliary tablet, this is much more interesting. If I had a good use case for a tablet, a folding one that runs Windows sounds much more appealing than a flat tablet running Android or iPadOS.

My biggest complaint is that I see no indication that this could accept a video input and double as a portable display. If it did that, I would start to consider something like this for myself even without an obvious use case for a tablet.
