It's not unexpected, but still strange that the patent wars have started in the way to AGI. It puts together ideas that were done by researchers and seems to be something that will be crutial for robotics in the future.

Are these really frequently asked questions? I'm more interested in environmental and working conditions of FoxConn. Or: what is the biggest environmental problem that Apple is facing right now?

What does post-mortem mean in this context? The software one (after an accident) or the human one (after death)? I think It's crazy that the word gets back the original meaning..

It has nothing to do with lazyness for me. When I was young I wasn't getting money for tinkering with hardware, neither for programming. Nowdays I get lots of money for programming...guess which of the 2 I'm doing more

There is no easy way. There are ways to prove software correctness, but it is far from easy

What I found is that startups have different requirements to big established companies. As the business is not yet stable enough, it's better to write lots of hacked together lower quality code to get to product-market fit. Experienced

This should be illegal everywhere. I'm really afraid of the not too distant future when drones are cheap and autonomous enough so that they are able to be controlled by a small crazy group and used to harm lots of people. I don't

Sure, it probably won't get profitable, as Tesla expected less preorders. Investors don't have a problem with that. The only thing that matters now is whether Tesla can build a great car profitably and cheaply in high amount, not

If she really started coding 2 months ago, I don't understand why she expects to have a job. It's great that she started, and I understand that she doesn't have the money for a university, but if she doesn't go to univer

I thought that money raising is for people who put all their effort into making a fast-growing company and need money to make the growth even faster. It's about choosing not having a life in return for the possibility for creating a bi
