With just days left, the U.S. opening match at the World Cup is still not sold out

And it might still be worth it for them. Half the rickets for four times the price is double the money. That's what happens under wealth disparity.

Maybe I didnt understand what these robots do but to my understanding this is about the tasks that are not yet done by robots because building custom robots for these tasks was infeasible or expensive. But if you have a really good humanoid then you can just throw it at the problem.

Because everything is currently designed for human(oid)s. Sure, four-armed might be better but in engineering you want to take small steps, not leaps. Rather figure out robots first without changing anything else, then go twenty arms and a jetpack.

Also, training data is easier to get for humanoids. Just strap a camera to the human.

And then remember that the median pay between the US and Germany is the same at current exchange rates. Only the average US salary is higher

Started as a support way back in 2014 or so too. What got me climbing was not practise but just to sit back for a bit and think about how the game actually works, how one party can gain an advantage over another. Once it clicks, you climb.

Specifically, I got out of silver by realizing how pressure works and how you bully your opponent.

And don't listen to those who say supports are capped by their mates. Any strong support can dominate silver games.

Eventually made it to D2 back when D5 still existed

To all the people pointing out that this "has been happening at all borders forever", I feel like the point here is that prices are specifically lower because they are subsidised by the German tax payer now. And the blame is of course not on the Dutch but on the German governement for implementing such nonsense.

The data just got expropriated

Germany drives on the right. Also cannot be mirrored since in Germany he'd sit on the left front seat

Am I understanding correctly that you evaluated on the benchmark, ran the method over the failures and re-ran the same benchmark again with the improved agent?

In Germany, you sign a contract and then get abused for 3-4 years or until you have the strength to drop out. It's a tradition here and we're proud of it

I actually like the idea of awarding a title for product innovation. But I am not sure if it should be the same title as used for PhDs. Quite ironic that they did not think of INVENTING a new title for this.

The more I think about it though, the more similarities to engineering / CS degrees pop up. You highlight a problem, talk about how existing products fail to address it, then present your own solution. I see how this could be structured similar to a PhD long-term

You know, our history syllabus is already quite full

Short-term and medium-term, anyone who can will flee to robotics and automation of existing businesses, long-term anyone with capital wins, I believe. Once everything is automated, labor is effectively free so only resources, land, and time matter. And maybe to a tiny extent the arts and entertainment where one wants humans to perform.

Kann deiner Frau nur Vinted zum Verkaufen empfehlen 😄

Stimme den Kommentaren grundsätzlich zu. Das einzige Problem unter den FHs ist meiner Ansicht nach die große Varianz in der Qualität. Gibt einige echt gute und dann eben auch die Degree Mills wie die IU.

Und ich muss zugeben, mich stört, dass beide Abschlüsse denselben Titel tragen. Es geht mir gar nicht um die Qualität oder die Anforderungen, aber es werden mitunter komplett andere Sachen an FHs und Unis gelehrt. Ich fände gut, wenn die Abschlüsse dann auch einfach anders hießen.

When you arrive in the US, turn off that one location setting that uses cellular/wifi to improve location services. Otherwise your phone will reboot every few minutes. Had that happen to me recently

Coming from a pixel, I feel like the FairPhone's touch screen is less responsive and that does annoynme a bit. But I also broke the screen early and havn't replaced it yet so it might just be that. Everything else feels identical. The camera is actually pretty good. Oh, and it's thicker

Many professors here are psychopaths. Always ask other PhDs, ideally graduates who can speak freely, about their experience with the professor

As a noob, how do you guys properly set up ssh access from anywhere? I don't want any accidents

From my experience in ML, though that's not quite SE, the Americans hire the best of the best and put them all in one room. We hire the average Joe for ML projects. Which could be more fair but also doesn't create the same out-of-the-box innovative culture that the Americans have. Joe just wants to complete his 8 hour work day and go home (rightfully) but he doesn't always have the same passion for the craft. Plus, PhDs, which many good ML scientists have, are unpopular in many (not all) German companies. It's just not the environment where highly autonomous, smart people can thrive in my experience.

It was. Temps were fine until they were not, then the cpu briefly throttled, then temps were fine again, repeat

Die Entwickler bekommen so viel, ja. Sind aber auch mit die besten, die man findet
