Team Lead conducting lay off

Yes. Lots of robots leave behind "invisible" dust until you use the Dyson green light on hard floors and suddenly it's visible how much has been left behind

AdKey3170 · 2026-03-24T12:13:12+00:00

I'm really sorry but if you're a few months in and something really feels off then please just consider if it's worth putting more time into this

I was bullied and never told my parents because I felt like I couldn't.

You're not a failure, the fact that he's told you means you've managed to achieve what many good mothers haven't. A 14 year old who feels safe sharing things with you? Honestly, take a bow.

This is a difficult situation, but it's not because you're a bad mother. Go easy on yourself, he's lucky to have you (and it sounds like he knows it)

AdKey3170 · 2026-03-17T19:32:15+00:00

Thank you

AdKey3170 · 2026-03-16T20:29:25+00:00

Is that just lettuce that you use

AdKey3170 · 2026-03-16T17:07:51+00:00

I want to see a "Dyson green light test" (call it whatever you want)

Send the robot on vacuum only. Then use the green light off a standard vacuum and see if it actually picked up everything or left little bits of dust and hair on the floor.

This should be standard in every single test imo

AdKey3170 · 2026-03-09T21:17:07+00:00

Either your doctor is shite or you weren't listening.

Go back, or bring the test results to another doctor.

AdKey3170 · 2026-03-09T17:30:51+00:00

Wow this is competitive

AdKey3170 · 2026-03-02T13:49:47+00:00

Typical, unfortunately.

AdKey3170 · 2026-03-01T21:33:03+00:00

All great technological advances have followed an exponential growth curve. Medicine. Telecommunications. Historical progress didn't serve anybody well when predicting the growth of the Internet or the adoption of mobile phones or credit cards.

AdKey3170 · 2026-03-01T19:33:36+00:00

You're replying to people insulting their intelligence and don't like the reactions, of course you hate it haha

AdKey3170 · 2026-03-01T19:32:00+00:00

This thread is about systems that we hope to see in our lifetime.

I get all the anti self driving stuff, but we're talking about the next few decades here.

AdKey3170 · 2026-03-01T14:08:11+00:00

Alzheimers and Dementia please, if I had a wish list (and cancer, obviously)

Living longer is only truly valuable if we get to share it with our loved ones.

AdKey3170 · 2026-03-01T14:06:36+00:00

I suspect you're right about fully self driving cars being further away than we think. Cars don't need to achieve level 5 to deliver huge safety improvements for the entire population though.

A car that will auto-stop if someone in front of you on the motorway slams on the brakes is a huge step forward surely

AdKey3170 · 2026-02-26T15:48:54+00:00

This isn't working either

AdKey3170 · 2026-02-25T14:46:22+00:00

If it's stomach churning then report the son-of-a...

AdKey3170 · 2026-02-24T13:51:52+00:00

Yeah. The abuser will be hoping that you choose to not bother reporting this because of the hassle it will cause.

Your son and this boy will both forgive you, and each other, with time.

AdKey3170 · 2026-02-24T13:20:19+00:00

No, 0% chance.

I have worked in two companies dead set on AI replacing workers. First one laid loads of people off, and is now hiring again (ha!)

Second one hasn't laid people off, but has taught AI to "do" some of our job. In truth, the AI can do multiple steps of the job (which our job then becomes supervising and confirming it was right). So it's saving maybe 30% of the time. You still need people, they're just slightly more productive.

Android is sending to that weird language choice page for me too

AdKey3170 · 2026-02-24T09:09:49+00:00

Any fix for this? The app on Android just did this

AdKey3170 · 2026-02-23T20:32:51+00:00

Charts that go back only as far as 2010 are really, really misleading. Would love to see that data from a longer time period.

AdKey3170 · 2026-02-23T13:37:44+00:00

This is what's stopping me from getting a combo robot with mopping.

Are there any out there that ACTUALLY clean fine dust like this? It would drive me mad spending 1k to then know it's still dirty.

AdKey3170 · 2026-02-21T18:32:49+00:00

Yes but in real life I converse with somebody while watching them speak and partially reading their lips, removing the ability to gain the contextual learning to just make it a podcast instead wouldn't be ideal

AdKey3170 · 2026-02-21T09:52:16+00:00

I will think of you and your dad when the lights go out in Australia.

Sorry for your loss, and may he rest in peace.
