9·3 days agoThey append the word “no” to the statement.
“How are you?” Is “you’re good, no?” But the word “no” does not have a rising tone.
Tonal languages are hard for non-tonal language speakers to pick up because of this. On the flip side, it can be tough for tonal language speakers to grasp the tonal inflections in English, and sometimes speak like robots before they understand how to use them.
Vietnamese doesn’t. The rising tone that you hear at the end of an English language question can change the literal meaning of a word in Vietnamese.

Second vote for VTI.
I hated how these were delivered to you whether you wanted them or not. So much junk.
They made really great fires though if you tore each page out, crumpled them up and stuffed them between the logs.
Also interesting, I took one about an inch or so thick and shot it point blank with a 12 gauge shotgun and tiny yellow circular confetti came out, which was neat to see.
2·8 days agoI was going to disagree with you about fleshlights, but then I realized that’s how fucking asinine this whole menstrual monitoring bullshit is and it was a good analogy.
Yeah, tell us about foraging for tiny mushrooms.
My guess is that the most expensive single component would be the lidar. Prices on lidars can be well over $100k. When I worked with lidar about 5 years ago, IIRC a Velodyne 128 was $160k. These robots would probably be using a 32 though, which is probably going to be less than 1/4 of a 128.
Also, Velodyne and Ouster merged since I last used lidar. Ouster does in-device sensor fusion, which likely takes a significant load off the CPU and potentially GPU, meaning these robots may be able to get away with lower spec CPU and GPU.
It appears that Ouster now does object detection, which is another reason these could get away with lower spec GPUs (assuming they’re using Ouster)
Obviously there’s a lot of speculation in my response, but since there’s no teardown of the robot, and without spec sheets or a BOM, all we can do is speculate.
Bush endorsed Romney in 2012.
Bush also endorsed McCain in 2008

He also endorsed a bunch of non-presidential political candidates.

Sad. What a loser. His campaign is a total disaster.
FYI
While the theory is usually shown as a pyramid in illustrations, Maslow himself never created a pyramid to represent the hierarchy of needs.
When someone breaks into your home you don’t have much of an opportunity to figure out why.
My thoughts exactly. “In Cold Blood” by Truman Capote is a true story about burglars who came to steal and ended up murdering a whole family. Awful thing to experience. Great book though.
You’re thinking of anti-theist.
Antitheism, also spelled anti-theism, is the philosophical position that theism should be opposed.
Atheists can merely not care if there was a god because they don’t see any proof of it.
Atheism, in the broadest sense, is an absence of belief in the existence of deities.
Atheism can also be more anti than that, but isn’t necessarily always that way
I’m not disagreeing that the game dev is irresponsible, but NTFS compression would’ve done wonders on that huge, easily compressible text file.

I am interested to see their written definition of “woke”.
