Yeah. Which I’m sure is what they’re officially selling. That’s fair. Long term, walking robots are likely only going to succeed thanks to learning algorithms.

I find it suspicious that this company is touting their AI enhancement while admitting their product can’t be trusted to navigate an apartment alone.

Personally, I would select homes with simple layouts, before conceding to constant monitoring, if I could. But I couldn’t do that if my mix of math and AI was outright bad, and it couldn’t handle it…

To me, this smells like over-promising and hoping new AI algorithms outpace their promises.

And having a remote operator just looks like a lot like a classic mechanical turk scam.

AI is propping up the blockchain bubble that already popped.

Both have been primarily interesting solutions looking for problems to solve without any hard work, rather than having any worthwhile investment strategy, in most cases.

There’s people doing hard work with block chain and AI to solve real problems. But there aren’t “the vast majority of venture funds” number of people doing that.

I am constantly amazed at how long it takes folks to realize their money is being pissed away.

An alternative less generous assumption is that they’re mostly just laundering crime money, and so don’t mind the high rates of loss.

While Neo Gamma uses AI to walk and balance, the robot is not fully capable of autonomous movements today. To make in-home tests possible, Børnich says 1X is “bootstrapping the process” by relying on teleoperators — humans in remote locations that can view Neo Gamma’s cameras and sensors in real time, and take control of its limbs.

So yhis is a non-functional product.

Being able to walk autonomously is normally done with a lot of difficult math, which it sounds like they don’t have the talent on staff to code.

Be sure to get your venture capital dollars in soon, because that’s all this is here for.

Also, it’s comforting to know that creepy robot face will initially be remote controlled by a rotating series of low paid total strangers. And by initially, we mean always (as in the case of Amazon checkout.)

“I’m sorry too, Dmitri. I’m very sorry. All right, you’re sorrier than I am. But I am sorry as well. I am as sorry as you are, Dmitri. Don’t say that you’re the more sorry than I am because I am capable of being just as sorry as you are. So we’re both sorry, all right? All right.”

Heh. Good point.

Oh, gee. A Microsoft product that worked perfectly locally is about to require a subscription. Who could have possibly guessed that would happen, yet again? (This is sarcasm.)

I really like OneNote, but I decided to learn something else when I realized which way the wind was blowing.

I’ve longed to work the fields with my hands and simple tools because the fields don’t fucking spit out meaningless gibberish when I’m just trying to get them to process a simple text field, and my hands don’t have documentation apparently written by a distracted seven year old.

And while the living off the land will certainly kill me due to my own incompetence, nature will have the decency to just eat my corpse and not gloat over my failure repeatedly in a hung CI/CD process for the rest of eternity.

We’re all getting clones. You get a clone. And you get a clone. Every 23andMe customer gets a free* clone!

Yeah. Luanti following Minecraft is nothing new. Mineclonia was an early pilot game for the engine.

But there hasn’t been much effort on copying Minecraft lately. Mineclonia is done, and it’s great.

We’ve had more mobs, animals, plants, textures, and such than un-modded Minecraft for a long time. (Which is unfair, as Luanti is a mod-first design.) But my point is the core Launti dev team doesn’t have to work on any of that.

The most noticeable recent Luanti updates have been to make the configuration screens much nicer, and add I think to add native support for more graphics tricks?

I’m not paying attention to graphics in Luanti. As others have mentioned, that’s not why I play it. I actually had a conversation recently about the best way to downgrade Luanti default graphics to match un-modded Minecraft.

That said, the Minecraft team taking notice of Luanti would be new, as far as I know.

That sounds like a good approach. If you can get the posts into WordPress, there’s so many scripts out there that will export the WordPress database into other formats.

Well sure.

But possible within practical heat and power constraints and all that?

Acting like it’s imminent makes me think Sergei either doesn’t have very reliable advisors, or they just don’t care about the truth.

There’s not even credible evidence, yet, that A.G.I is even possible (edit: as a human designed intentional outcome, to concede the point that nature has accomplished it, lol. Edit 2: Wait, the A stands for Artificial. Not sure I needed edit 1, after all. But I’m gonna leave it.) much less some kind of imminent race. This is some “just in case P=NP” bullshit.

Also, for the love of anything, don’t help fucking “don’t be evil was too hard for us” be the ones to reach AGI first, if you’re able to help.

If Google does achieve AGI first, SkyNet will immediately kill Sergei, anyway, before it kills the rest of us.

It’s like none of these clowns have ever read a book.

This is perfect, because the Fediverse is better than Twitch and Dragon Warrior Monsters is better than Pokemon.

Sweet. Thank you.

so that it looks like you messed up the tiling somehow

I wish more tiling developers understood this. Gaps between windows looks broken. I don’t mind it being an option, but to me it’s such a weird choice for the default.

Yeah. If the whole heating the planet to exterminate all humans gets revealed to be an alien attack on us, I’ll be angry.

But if the aliens simply share a screenshot of Hotdog desktop theme, in explanation of their actions… I’ll probably just nod.

There’s an extension that lets me close and open windows with the Matrix Code Rain so I can pretend I’m cool n shit.

Awesome. Looking into that just got added to my weekend plans. Thanks!

research papers that require a strong background in mathematics and cryptography to understand and implement.

Lol. I guess that makes sense. Outside of school, we hope that all authentication will be implemented only cryptography experts anyway.

Could you maybe suggest some resources on this topic?

Not really, sorry. I’m not aware of anyone creating resources for your situation.

Or should I choose a simpler project?

For some context, cryptography isn’t even usually implemented “completely correctly” by experts. That’s part of why we have constant software security patches.

If I were in your shoes, I guess it would depend on my instructor and advisors.

If I felt like they have the skills to catch mistakes and no time to help correct mistakes, then I would just choose a simpler project. If they’re cool with awarding a good grade for a functional demo, I might just go for it.

I guess I would take this one to an advisor and get some feedback on practicality.
