Afaik lidar doesn’t work very well for detecting highly reflective or highly transparent objects. It’s possible, but not very straight forward and depends on what else is sorta “in frame”. I’m not sure how well lidar would fare when pointed at a large mirror that takes up a rather large portion of its fov.
Radar wouldn’t be bothered though.
It wasn’t based on the book at all. The book itself is a compilation of short stories, but the movie’s script wasn’t based on any of those. It was originally written as an original action script that had nothing to do with anything Asimov. The studio that agreed to produce it made the writers rename it to “I, Robot” and insert a bunch of Asimov sounding shit in there, like the 3 laws and some character names.
Grind it down to a fine powder and snort it through a rolled 500 euro bill.
I once worked on a project where the main function would run the entire code in a try-catch block. The catch block did nothing. Just returned 200 OK. Didn’t even log the error anywhere. Never seen anything so incredibly frustrating to work on.
Mostly the latter. We don’t do any optimizations on our product whatsoever. Most important thing is to say yes to all the customers and add every single feature they want. Every sprint is spent adding and adding and adding to the code as much as we can and as quickly as we can. Not a single second is allotted to any discussion about performance or efficiency. Maybe when something breaks, but otherwise we keep piling on more crap at full speed non-stop. I have repeatedly been told “the fast way is the right way” followed by laughter. I was told to “merge this now” on multiple occasions even when I knew that the code was shit, and told the team as much. I am expected to write code now and think about it later.
As you can expect, the codebase is a bloated nightmare. Slow as shit, bugs galore, ugly inconsistent UI, ENORMOUS memory use, waaaaaay too frequent DB access with a shit ton of duplicate requests that are each rather inefficient themselves. It is a rather complex piece of lab management software, but not so complex that it should be struggling to run on dedicated servers with 8 gigs of RAM. Yet it does.
It’s a tie between that scene and Kevin Spacey eating a banana in K-Pax. That’s a deeply disturbing scene and not because Spacey is a perv.
There are esp32 variants that can do ZigBee. It’s very surprising to me that there’s no esphome for those. I’d think that the community would be all over that, but all I have found so far are abandoned GitHub repos. Maybe there’s something I don’t know about the chip or the protocol that makes it difficult?
Could be fun.
Long ago, the 118 nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Ytterbium Nation attacked.
No. You either go full Stallman and inject Gentoo directly into your aorta, or you might as well be deep throating Satya Nutella while bouncing on Tim Apple’s lap. Filthy casual.
What kind of motor oil would you recommend to pair with liver and fava beans?
I think Blendo is the greatest, but my dad says it doesn’t work hard enough on defense. And he says that lots of times, it doesn’t even run down the arena.
They could be, but that wasn’t standard behavior. When laptops started to become a thing it was realized that having hot swappable peripherals made too much sense to ignore, so some devices had improved ps/2 ports and controllers that could do that.
I wonder how he’s feeling right now, watching what’s happening up on earth. His old enemies, who destroyed him 80 years ago, are now wololoing themselves to his side. Dude must be confused.
This is canon in the books. There is one short story where one robot bends over backwards trying to spare humans from emotional pain. Hilarity ensues.
It’s Halo. He is a pretty cool guy. Eh kills aleins and doesnt afraid of anything.
The pilot has to yell “I’M LOVIN’ IT” into the radio with sufficient enthusiasm otherwise the landing gear won’t come down.
Compulsory service exists in many parts of the world and it is rarely good.
Forcing people to do work they don’t want to do leads to very unproductive environments that are also very open to abuse. Being forced by law to do the work has a tendency to create super unhealthy power dynamics.
Well you see one client demanded some absolutely stupid very obscure feature that was so absolutely stupid that it could only reasonably be achieved by hacking some bullshit together on their on-premise bare-metal installation that they insisted on not giving you proper access that you needed. Then something went wrong with that hacked-together one-off bullshit, and the digital equivalent of this was the only way to figure out what the hell was happening.
If by “literally anyone” you mean any catholic man, then sure.
