Is this somewhat related to reservoir computing?

"Nothing brings fear to my heart more than a floating point number." Gerald Jay Sussman.

What you are referring to is stiffness, which is different than backlash. Backlash, or play, is due to gaps.

The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

We can only hope the parent comment indeed knows a better source or even what he is talking about. Let give him the benefit of the doubt and assume that the shortness of his comment derives from a lack of time and not from a lack of knowledge.

Exactly this. And the incentive it creates is very perverted. It would be much easier to just tax CO2 at the source, instead of this corruption prone system of carbon credits where you need to audit thousands of places instead of only one: the oil pipe.

The control rods with the graphite on the tip was the cherry on top...

We enjoyed a peaceful 'air pocket' in tech, but this is over. And it makes sense. Technology is rendering regular people useless. And when they eventually get destitute they will rebel. If I were the ruling elite I too would move fast to increase my control over the masses.

It really is incredible to believe that a sports organization has the power to shutdown what is essentially a utility without any oversight. It paints a very bad image of Spain in my mind. It makes one wonder how many more absurdities happen over there.

One interesting thing about the Teller-Ulam design is that you can scale the bomb as big as you want. Imagine a skyscrapper sized bomb.

How does ntfy compares to Pushover?

AI research is like the topic of sex during adolescence: of everyone say they are doing it, few are; and the few that are in fact doing it are probably doing it wrong.

Why spend so much effort to achieve an "exact" gear ratio? Having more zeros does not equal to being more "precise".

Also, I wonder how resistant this mechanism is to wear and fatigue.

So the company notorious for killing projects is going to tackle infrastructure grade systems? I don't trust Google to tackle this problem.

The issue is not that these problems are easily underestimated, but that the researchers are very proficient at repeating the same mistakes over and over again.

Quantum shorts got to him first.

Abstractions hide details, that does not mean they cease to exist. The problem with abstractions is that it makes it easier to create conflicts when making changes. Lots of hidden details are affected by a high level change.

What is holding back AI is this business necessity that models must perform everything. Nobody can push for a smaller model that learns a few simple tasks and then build upon that, similar to the best known intelligent machine: the human.

If these corporations had to build a car they would make the largest possible engine, because "MORE ENGINE MORE SPEED", just like they think that bigger models means bigger intelligence, but forget to add steering, or even a chassi.

Based on my experiences with Kerbal Space Program, this object seem to be almost being pushed off from solar orbit. Given its 'small' size, how much energy would be required to push it off the solar system?

Sorry, I failed to follow your reasoning. My comment had nothing to do with "driving software", it addressed the parent post by posing the question a different way.

You rather have a hallucinated driver or a creative driver coming your way?

Enriching uranium to levels like 60% is hard. But from there on you don't need thousands of centrifuges anymore. This means that they can set up covert enriching plants and get weapons grade uranium without drawing attention.

Because the whole purpose of these kinds of projects at Google is to keep regulators at bay. They don't need these products in the sense of making money from them. They will just burn some money and move on, exactly the way they did hundreds of times. But what kind of company has such a free pass to burning money? The kind of company that is a monopoly. Monopolies are THAT profitable.

Can you walk me through how to reach this '239%' number? Thank you.

How has inflation behaved since 1980?

Open a bank account. Open your heart. Open a can. Open to new experiences.

Words are a tricky thing to handle.

It is shocking that in this day and age people can burn $250M and fail to deliver a robot. Last time I checked cameras can be bought for a couple dollars and any SBC has GigaFlops of compute power.

The Society of Mind by Marvin Minsky will help anyone interested in the topic of multimodality. The book covers several interesting ideas about organizing systems made up of more than one "model" or agent.

So before trying to build a flying machine we should first try to build a machine inspired by non flying birds?

Robotics is more accessible than ever. The tech is here to build almost anything you want. Dream big! We can now buy cameras for a couple dollars, microphone arrays, sensors, motors and drivers. 3D printers are everywhere, stock components also available.

Or 'manage your expectations', download ROS and build another mediocre turtle bot powered by some Nvidia Teraflop chip (if they allow you to boot their sdk), and spend a year learning "abstractions" defined by other people for other projects.
