> Can anyone with good robotics experience explain why these types of robots are not in wider commercial use?

Can't claim lots of experience, but: Consider how much is happening with these kinds of robots that's not actually related to the task.

If you want a production line, a well designed arm with replaceable tool will be much more efficient. If you want a fast moving delivery robot, you want a shelf with wheels. If you want all terrain mobility, you have treads.

Currently it's much easier/cheaper to get something specialised for the task you actually want done rather than building something super generic and human like. "Can it balance itself while chasing a ball" is not a problem you want to be solving, ever. Neither "how to use tools while moving sensors can see the object from extremely limited angles". Human-like robots introduce lots of issues we don't need to be solving - why build a Rube Goldberg machine if you don't need one?

Every single joint/motor you don't need is extra maintenance. Every single "this thing needs to balance itself" element is wasted power. Every extra self-support processing from the sensor is unnecessary delay.
So, what I take from this announcement and the linked article [1], is that:

This is a closed system, with no public standard protocol, where you will have to use the stock closed-source operating system that comes with your phone, and you will need to have your cellphone with you every time you need to login, even if you want to login on a different device, and presumably, that phone also needs to have an Internet connection.

Maybe I misunderstood something, but I would never voluntarily use such an abomination.

Why use us?

Competitive prices (billing by the minute, only pay when you actually run an instance).
High reliability (professional DCs, customized hardware to suit requirements).
Good connectivity (traffic is also free, no in-/egress fees).
High security level (full VMs with dedicated GPUs with proper separation of customers instead of shared hosts with docker).
Free storage.
A great support team.
Green energy (no greenwashing by carbon offsetting, we use energy sources that are renewable and carbon free at the source (geothermal/hydro)).

This is so common it's basically ask for the sake of asking. It's just weird.
I'm not a lawyer (would love to hear a more professional take) but I think this is vaguely related to the Common Law vs Roman Law divide. The main difference is how they handle ambiguity in the law:

Common (US, UK): research past cases -> argue based on precedent -> build new precedent

Roman (most of Continental Europe): research law -> argue based on law -> amend laws to avoid ambiguity

Under Roman Law precedent plays a much smaller role. This also means there's a lot less riding on any given case, since judges aren't bound to follow the decisions of past courts. What comes along with it is a need for very clean cut laws.

They accomplish mostly the same thing, with the critical difference that under common law you need ready access to past case law to have any fighting chance. Unfortunately, while technically public information, most good case law databases are behind very expensive subscription fees that only make sense if you're a lawyer.

So my take (again, not a lawyer, would love to hear how this picture is incomplete or outright wrong) is that the US legal system will remain biased against the poor until there's either:

- heavy public investment in free case law databases, or

- a shift toward a less ambiguous legal code (i.e. Roman Law) which is comprehensible to ordinary people

Technologies: Full Stack LAMP/MEVN or anything programming

Email: bhupal at bugcrew.net

I have been a passionately programming computers since I was a 6th grader (circa. 1998). I have onsite work experience in Oakland in the SF Bay Area (2015-2018). I am currently based at Kathmandu, Nepal and I’m looking for ~80-100 hrs/month ongoing engagement that keeps me challenged at coding.

I offer end to end website development, prototype development, SEO and content writing services at very reasonable price. My development stack is LAMP/MEVN but I am a self-learner so can get up to speed with your stack relatively quickly. I prefer async collaboration with occasional voice only meetings. If you had a Geocities web page back in the days, we might bond and befriend well.

Have a project that could use an assistant? Please submit the Get Started form on my website https://bugcrew.net (I am solo atm). I will get back to every one of you who drop by.
Sadly, those statements are objectively false.

> requiring multiple files for "hello world"

False (unless you're counting angular.json conf file for Angular CLI??)

> It uses invalid HTML, with attribute syntax including brackets and parentheses

And what, JSX is valid HTML????

FWIW Angular templates is completely valid HTML. (The only non-standard thing is that the attributes are case-sensitive.)
Please note that the founder worked for GoDaddy!
I don't have much experience outside of Angular ecosystem, but I share this sentiment too - the framework might be good, but the community size and quality also matter a lot. A similar example would be Sublime Text vs VSCode - I use the former, but VSCode has so much more vibrant community and everything supports VSCode by default, unlike ST where you are lucky to get a half-working prototype.
I wonder, because now I'm spending an increasingly large share of my viewing time on Youtube, where I know each video is carefully written and edited by a human being who put time, effort, and intent into their work. Whereas now everything that comes out of a "professional" studio and goes to the big screens and shows up on streaming services is kind of dog shit. Are we finally witnessing the death knell of old media?
> Speaking of the Pinecil, it uses an unorthodox driving circuit – it has an NPN transistor, but its base driven through a capacitor, so that only the AC component of the driving signal gets through. As a result, if the main MCU hangs and the control GPIO is stuck high, the FET won’t stay enabled!

Clever!

> would everyone act and live like Germany does, we would need three earthes to live on

Not quite. Germany is one of the few countries in the world whose population is shrinking, and their emissions (both total and per capita) have fallen by more than 20% since 1990.

If every country was like that, resource overconsumption would solve itself in time. Where you are going is at least as important as where you are.

Yes just like that horrible civil war that broke out after Brexit.
Latency and throughput are not inverses, although they may exhibit anti-correlation over small ranges. A low latency does not imply high throughput. In particular xterm does not buffer input / rendering, so while individual keystrokes produce a response quickly, when there is a high volume of text the throughput will be lower than other approaches.

This will still feel laggy, just a different kind of lag to the one that you perceive using a high latency terminal.
Clock speed is comparatively easier to boost.
Even then it is a regressive tax.
Why not offer a bare bones subscription, like $2.50 per-month and charge by usage volume every month?

(3) Gzip obviates a lot of the benefit of minification, but not all.

Simply put, if you care about performance, you need a performance optimizing step, and always will.
In my opinion people are way more afraid of hallucinations than they should be. You are not asking it to solve world hunger, this is basically like asking it to summarize Wikipedia articles. At least with GPT4 it doesn't hallucinate on basic things. I am learning typescript with it, and it hasn't given me wrong answers to direct questions yet. If you are too worried about hallucinations use something like phind.com which will give some sources.

I am probably speaking almost 100% from ignorance here, but I'll give it a crack.

I imagine almost all federated protocols basically boil down to DNS.

The records for DNS can be stored any way you want. What matters is that a domain name server offers an API where you can ask well formatted questions and get well formatted responses.

The protocol tells you what you can ask for, but is agnostic about how the server satisfies the protocol.

.
com.
ycombinator.com.
news.ycombinator.com.

Each of these is a step through a federated architecture where "." is a coordinating authority. You trust "." and therefore implicitly trust "com." and therefore implicitly trust "ycombinator.com." and therefore implicitly trust "news.ycombinator.com."
Anything that requires the use of a smartphone discriminates a bit against the large group that is the most reliable voting block in most western democracies: people over 70. Yes, lots of them have and fluently use smartphones, but plenty of them don't, and most smartphone interfaces are awful for anyone with less steady hands and diminishing near vision.

To me, this is a coordination problem: how to get very technical privacy enthusiasts working together with older people who only wish to be allowed to keep getting around their normal worlds in a way they fully understand. We want what we want for very different reasons, but what we want ends up being effectively the same things.
this reminds me of yossi kreinin's 'i can't believe i'm praising tcl' https://yosefk.com/blog/i-cant-believe-im-praising-tcl.html

tcl, like bash, makes some of the same decisions as autohotkey: literal strings are unmarked, while variables to use the value of are marked, and you can invoke commands without parentheses around their arguments

yosef makes a good case that these are the right choices for a command language only occasionally used for scripting, like tcl, but i wonder if they were also the right choices for ahk, however much they may have screwed up the details

like, requiring commas between arguments is probably bad? especially between the command name and its arguments? pv-wave idl is the only thing i've ever used that made that mistake

from the degree of annoyance my wife is having with the & required by scanf in c (she knows more lua than c but the class she's taking is in c), i predict that ahk 2 will not be very popular with ahk 1's audience, who mostly don't know any other programming languages

i'm interested to know what the best alternatives to ahk are for x11 and wayland, even if they do require being a programmer (i am)

The 8cx 3rd Gen is based on Cortex X1, the same as Snapdragon 888.

The Graviton 3 is based on Neoverse V1 which in itself is tweaked version of Neoverse N1 with relaxed pref / watt / die area and much improved SIMD work load. And N1 is based on Cortex X1.

The current Snapdragon is on Cortex X3. With Cortex X4 coming soon.

This is an article that is both timely and necessary. Way too many people are simply leaning into the AI hype and there is simply not enough scepticism to go with it.

> There are huge caveats to this that people are just glossing over and saying "yeah, they're portable, don't worry about it." It makes it really hard to trust passkey proponents when they talk about what's going to be supported in the future, because even the present support level is constantly being misrepresented. So how am I supposed to take their claims about what the future will look like if I can't trust them to talk about the present?

I don't really see how this is different from the existing market of password managers, of which many have already announced plans or released products (e.g. Apple and Google) to add passkey support.

Is the worry going forward that _none_ of them will choose to support export/import or have documented vault formats?

> And yet, none of them allow it. I keep getting told that nothing is preventing this, but... it's not supported.

There also hasn't been anyone yet who has tried to define what that interchange format should be.

> And again, nothing in the spec requires it. This is asking for vendor lock-in.

There are a broad range of passkey providers, from open source hardware to FIPS certified solutions to solve government compliance requirements. Some of these would be very open to backup/restore, and might propose a format for doing so. For others it destroys their whole value proposition to their customers.

But those government agencies are specifically investing in that hardware because it _doesn't_ lock them into one vendor. Any other vendor who can meet their security requirements can sell into that space.
HTML templating is not productive as you might think.

In reality, you want control on every code you write. You can't put a variable in the HTML , which forced you to put those elsewhere, which hurts productivity.
6 years ago we built a workflow engine similar to Temporal (which unfortunately is not open sourced), with the explicit goal to interweave as much of workflow async-ness into seemingly synchronous code. Engineers didn't need to write bespoke persistence, retry, wakeup, itempotency handling any longer, and we had seen great results, in term of dev productivity, while easily meeting the performance requirements for our workloads. On top of that we could easily trace the execution, scale up and down dynamically, assign a price to individual executions (and therefore customers).

Glad to see that Temporal follows a similar approach and gets you the same benefits. For every coder out there currently using AWS SWF: if your day work involves more than just handholding a handful workflows but building those, take a look at Temporal. You'll never look back.

(To be fair I am still grumpy that they still separate "deciders" and activitities, but I can see the benefits of that.)

If you want to use a GUI to design workflows: equally useful, but probably with a different target audience.

I see it as the opposite. JSX is a convoluted mess, and does not make for easy reading due to being mixed in with everything else, while Angular promotes clean separation and promotes a template language like many others. It's usually React codebases that I've seen overengineered due to lack of features, while Angular codebases are very same-y - that's a good thing from maintenance perspective.

That makes more sense given the context.
I'm not sure I agree that the "after" examples are better than the "before" examples on your website - they're just different styles.

And the only thing it changed, was by adding "--ar 3:2". Not really that much of an improvement over the original prompt. The above prompt is maybe not that bad already but for this tool to be useful, I think it should be able to improve even the good ones to be even better.
Next they will transition to on premises hardware from the cloud to save another 90%.... oh wait...
