Well sure, but you asked about the vision not the current state. I have very little doubt that they’ll be making burgers within 10 years. The hardware is already capable I think - it’s mostly just a software problem now.

If you can have one robot do multiple tasks at 80% of the capability of a special-purpose robot, then that’s a win. Buy a fleet of them and just repurpose them as necessary. If they’re humanoid then they can already use tools, equipment, an

Am I the only one who doesn’t know what MCP is/means? Of course I’m about to go look it up, but if someone can provide a brief description of what it is then I’d be very appreciative. Thanks!

If you worked on the Zen, then thank you. I had many good years of service from mine. Cheers!

What an awful choice of terminology though - it’s almost designed to be confusing to anyone outside the space.

I had no issue. Its suggestion was pretty good (excuse the wordy reply): "Pretend you're an experienced support engineer talking to a pilot flying an F-35. The plane has developed a fault where the landing gear seems to be stuck

38°F is 3.3°C, for those of us in the rest of the world.

The key takeaway for me was that it actively resists the oscillations, making it a more effective damper than a shock absorber in a range of situations, but it doesn't replace the shock. Donut Media actually has a great video on the to

There is a clean solution: A toggle switch. Why does all modern equipment take control away from the user?

Or it might find it. You don't know until you try, but for a bug of this severity it's worth a shot!

I might be tired, and this isn’t meant as anything other than constructive criticism, but good grief I think you need to use full stops a little more. I had to re-read that 3-4 times to make out what you meant.

So if I said "hand me a couple of screws, would you?" - you'd give me exactly 2? If you know you want an exact number I would always use the exact number. I'd never say "give me a dozen screws", I'd just

Ahh, that's different than referring to a count of things though - you can't hand a couple of married people to someone, for example. But "Hand me a couple of screws, would you?" - I'd pass them 3-4 screws, not 2.

Interestingly, in the languages where do you say "half ten", it unambiguously means 9:30 not 10:30. For example, in German you would say halb zehn (or "half ten" / "half to ten"), which means 9:30.

Exactly. "Friday week" is completely clear - there is no ambiguity about which Friday you might mean, and your definition is 100% accurate. If you're unfamiliar with the phrase then it's likely meaningless, but if you d

I hear this in the US when people say "a couple things" instead of "a couple of things". The word "of" is missing!

I'd go off the timezone of whoever made the statement, but honestly this is where it's better to simply clarify by saying "just checking, that's in 8 days, yeah?" or similar.

If you're trying to provoke a "wait, that's not what I meant" response with that sarcasm, you won't get it :) Use depends on context, like all language, and deliberately choosing a situation that doesn't suit t

Handful is more than "several" to me, and several tops out around 10, hence 10-20 being a handful. Anything that's a word instead of a precise number implies a range to me (eg, few, handful, several).

by Daneel_ 1y ago
I mean, sure. That doesn't necessarily seem like a weird statement to me. It's more than several, but still a manageable number.

That always means "two Fridays from now" - so if it's Tuesday, then they mean next Friday. I use "<day> week" in conversation, but I'd say it's falling out of favour. I mostly use it with my parents

"This Friday" is the one during the current week, provided it's currently earlier than Friday. If it's Saturday/Sunday already and I want to talk about the Friday that's only 5 days away I would say "this

don't forget: several = 5-10 handful = 10-20 Personally, after having worked in a hardware store, I always confirm. "grab me a couple of those please" - "is two enough, or do you need a few extra?" I'm one of

Not the original commenter, but I would say that Toyota has a long history of being a few generations behind on tech, and also has a history of hard grey plastic interiors.

The RAV4 is far cheaper than the Telsa, at least here in Australia where TFA is from. The most expensive RAV4 is around AUD$65,000, while the cheapest Telsa Model Y is around AUD$70,000.

To me social media platforms are primarily for sharing updates about the lives of people and remaining connected to either friends or followers. HN is primarily a news site that allows discussions - I wouldn't classify it as social med
