No, this is totally unconnected. This is just a run of the mill win, this was inevitable

It has nothing to do with how the Senate snatched defeat from the jaws of victory in exchange for nothing

Yes, of the set that is all robot tech demos to a crowd, the vast majority are misleading. They tend to be misleading

Tend to = all of them to you?

The most convincing part for me was how clearly unprepared to be on stage the tech with the scissors was

Because all of these robot tech demos tend to be very misleading

Well this isn’t a prototype, it’s a tech demo.

Not only does it have a full outer covering, it also has a thick underweave layer that makes it more fleshy. It has a surprising amount of corners and pinchy bits underneath - honestly sealing it completely is probably also to protect nearby humans

As for the boobs… Well, I kinda figured humanity would wait until we had a generation of useful robots before giving them boobs, but we were always going to end up here…

It’s basically just burning through the credit they’ve paid Google and making their numbers look like the ad was effective, but conversion was low

Google has been caught doing similar things to make their metrics look better

This does hurt advertising in a nebulous kind of accelerationist way, but it does end up with more ad money being given to Google

How? An airtag isn’t going to work from inside you, and they’re going to search you. They also like to bounce people around to make them hard to track, so that tracker is going to end up wherever the person was processed

This just isn’t practical with current technology

Yeah, pretty much. Cooperation is our natural state, we act a lot like a eusocial hive species when you watch from a distance

…And do what now?

Might as well make it a public private partnership, right? Then you have total insulation.

People are scared and angry… Lemmy has definitely gotten much less friendly this last year

It’s a schedule that includes buses… You’re going to have the odd person who either isn’t ready, doesn’t have enough on their account, or doesn’t understand the system, and each one knocks the schedule off by 20-40 seconds. You’ve also got lines at the machines, you’ve got overhead to track all this… None of that is free, especially not the man hours

I’ve used really really great paid public transport… It just does not compare to when it’s also free. More people use it, people act less entitled, it’s just a better experience

We’ve been so focused on taxing the wealthy to lower inequality, but maybe the answer is staring us in the face

What if we just nuke the economy to ruins?

The best ones don’t bother, because collecting fares is expensive and slows everything down

You can have self funded infrastructure, it can work, but it just seems like a bad solution. It’s a weakness. All it takes is one leader throwing a wrench in the process, and the whole thing unbalances and you get a death spiral

But if it’s free? Even if maintenance is neglected for a time, there’s no feedback loop

That’s because it’s infrastructure. It’s very expensive, and needs to be publicly funded to be good - otherwise you have a death spiral of raising prices, neglecting maintenance, and losing passengers because it’s expensive and terrible

You can easily make it all back from taxes though… Good public transportation means anyone in a city can work, shop, or patronize anywhere, it makes the economy go brr

It theoretically could through the azure remote desktop client since Windows owns every part of that stack and has no concept of not stealing all data. It probably doesn’t because it would involve coordination between several teams

It could work on Linux, but probably doesn’t because the Linux version of software tends to have more autonomy and better priorities

Yes. Teams is software that runs on your computer. Based on what’s described here, it’s now going to ask the wifi driver what access points are available

Then it will send that info through the VPN along with the voice and video

Well, surely someone will set it up for you… For a fee

Maybe even a subscription, why not
