> Taking control of $100,000 robots to manufacture does have value at the high-end, but still can't compete with humans at the low end. The problem with robots isn't the physical cost vs a human, it's the task flexibility

The advanced formula environment is great, I've been using it for about a year now and it makes LAMDA so much more useful.

I'm not sure Google is eating Microsoft's lunch right now... Microsoft seems to be coming to the lunch table and starting fights for Google's turkey sandwich (search).

What was cutting edge about the Switch? It was innovative and a great product, but I'm not sure anything in it was cutting-edge from a technology perspective. Something doesn't have to be cutting-edge though to be innovative, fun,

Despite what that site says, the Tegra X1 isn't a CPU or Processor - it is a SoC. i.e. The X1 is a chip which contains lots of stuff including some processors from 2012.

It was launched in 2017 with a SoC from 2015, and the SoC contained a CPU that launched in 2012. Contrast this with the PS5, which launched in 2020 with an AMD Zen 2 CPU which launched in 2019.

Neither the Wii, Wii U or Switch have anything powerful from a hardware perspective - the last time Nintendo released a product equally powered to the competition was the Game Cube but that was over 22 years ago now. This is the 'withe

I do think there is a use case in work - I can imagine sitting down and doing CAD in a 'real 3D' environment once the resolution and responsiveness are high enough (probably still with a keyboard and mouse).

I don't think it really classes as woo-woo - replacing live chat operatives with an LLM is a pretty straight forward and obvious use case. Besides, the full 55k are about all automation, restructuring and digitisation efforts. Doesn&#x

I assume OP is referring to all the teams the author said he worked on in the article, as referenced in the second paragraph: > As an engineer, I have worked with many, many other engineers on dozens of projects.

There is a minor irony that the author has another blogpost on how micromanaging bosses are awful, because they insist that you should work their way rather than your own way. Perhaps the learning here is just "managing engineers to de

It just seems silly to me that in a world where we have robots that can screw bolts on a car, and in a world where humans hate screwing bolts onto cars for 40 hours a week, we would want to put a policy that makes the human the more attract

Seems like a strange policy from an economic growth standpoint. Otherwise the policy is “Why have a robot do something a human can do?”. Wouldn’t it be better to just put in a workable welfare system and improved wage standards? You could t

May be a weird takeaway, but I did find it strange how much the whole report focussed on misgendering as a safety issue. I agree it’s important to get right, but it seems like one of hundreds of safety/alignment issues and that many ot
