@SandHillThicket same. Another one for dogs, deer and other walking things

Savannah Music Festival is packed with goodness, even a borscht workshop by Dakha Brakha.

@preclude Because it follows logically that buying that coin puts one into the doggie position, eh

@peterquirk 👎 🤬

@LaurelGreen is their office haunted?

@Zevon Humanoid robots make zero sense to me, so difficult, and for what.
My job includes robots so I'm slightly versed. A lot of the platforms are adding security monitoring because adding a mic and camera is trivial and the things can be operated 24x7. A floor mopper can move towards and record sounds that happen at odd hours.
The dog platform is essentially open source hardware and software (ROS) so I expect that to promulgate.

@Zevon for sure! For so many reasons. That mustache

@DavidSalo @Maude @JoyfullyDazed I was gonna say, which Bible, specifically.

@Zevon No! But you wouldn't even have to hack them. Just toss crap on the road they can't understand. Which is almost anything. A pillow.

@Zevon Thing about AVs is the financial justification breaks down as they approach technical feasibility. LIDAR-based braking and lane keeping will/have reduced accidents by (a lot). So safety won't be the driver (ha ha). I don't know how many people need (or want in Amurika) their car to have a brain solely for convenience, and will be willing to pay the incremental and ongoing cost (assuming a subscription, because of course)
And is L5 technically feasible? Not alongside humans for sure.

@Mauve_matelot @KazzyH
Well it still burns and stings but I got a microwaveable heat pack and using it a lot; feels good. Being lefty is difficult but am trying. I hired help to do some carpentry -- that was psychologically difficult but picking up a hammer convinced me PDQ.

@Zevon On the virtual traffic jam he mentions, there are examples of AVs doing this already. I think it would get vicious if they were more prevalent. Good thing they won't be 😉 😈

@Zevon embodiment! my favorite! *listening* (with my _ears_) (which are part of my _body_)

@Zevon I like this but am mystified at the suggestion that cognitive science was codified in 2003?! I have books from a decade earlier that reference books from decades before that. Guessing he means something specific. Anyway, onward.

@Zevon @Alfred Thanks!

@Zevon @Alfred machine-world interfaces (e.g. SCADA) have seemingly never had security by design. It's bolted on. Porous attack surfaces + (ML) software automation is "exciting"

@cassandra17lina Noble guilt just consider it in perspective. It's a fireplace and not a business jet or a feed lot.

@Beanc Best I can say is Habitat will write you a receipt for whatever value you say
