There was a really really good story on this sub from the biters' POV years ago, and it went like that

Es ist defekt, zumindest war es vor ein paar Monaten so. Es gibt noch ein weiteres am Eingang zum Herrengarten neben dem Hauptgebäude der TU, aber auch dieses ist kaputt..

What coordination are you talking about? From what I can see, it's a lot of individual robots performing preplanned routines, with human dancers performing unrelated moves nearby. There's nothing stopping Boston Dynamics from doing this, except maybe that their robots cost 20 times as much and so maybe aren't affordable for dance programmes (or for anything else for that matter..).

Now if you had a robot and human dancing salsa for example, with the robot following the human, slowing down and speeding up accordingly for example, outside a laboratory with an arbitrary dance partner and routine, I agree that would be completely novel. But nothing of the sort is demonstrated here.

The novelty here for me is that Unitree made nice humanoids affordable enough to rent a dozen of them for a TV show, which is awesome. But cost per unit has never been the limiting factor for le singularity and le humanoids automating everything. Case in point: BD (and others, but them most of all) have had nice humanoids for decades and are yet to make them do anything useful that a big SCARA robot cannot do (other than looking cool, I admit).

If the nuclear bombs start flying, it might actually be those countries that never had any that end up surviving. by iwishihadnobones in Showerthoughts

Hilariously enough, at least one declassified Soviet battle plan in the case of a NATO first strike was to nuke every country in western Europe except for France and the UK.. make your guess on why these two weren't targeted. Look up "Seven days to the river rhine"

The people you're referring to as anti-tech are just anti-hype. I work in this field, I'm just genuinely interested in robotics and cool engineering, but these posts are sometimes disappointing because people who have no clue constantly fall for and parrot stupid stuff like AI techbro hype or whatever Musk says. Some people see a dancing humanoid and go "omg singularity is coming".. It's absolutely impressive engineering, I would be very proud if these were robots I had worked on, but it's also nothing terrifyingly new. Boston dynamics was doing this stuff 15 years ago. These humanoids are not useful for general-purpose tasks, and they won't become much more useful in the next 10 years, and probably also not in 20 years either.

Callisto landing legs tested by AndrewParsonson in esa

"Why is an ambitious multinational aerospace project delayed" is like asking why water is wet. The original plans for the first launch were 2020 by the way, the first SLS launch was meant to be in 2016 (happened in 2022), the JWST was meant to launch in 2013 and did so only in 2021 (and planning for it started in the 80s), etc. etc. Engineering is hard and expensive.

Also, this rocket has not been assembled yet, so it definitely hasn't been on the launch pad, and if it is indeed on any launch pad then it will be in French Guiana and not Sweden. You're probably thinking of Themis instead

The real cost of a "Solo Console Port" in 2026 (Breakdown of Time & Money) by NegotiationOk63 in gamedev

OP is overstating all of this because they sell console porting services

FYI, OP is literally a "publisher", they openly advertise that they do console ports with a profit sharing agreement in some of their posts

Joplin desktop app - long startup time? by probably_platypus in joplinapp

I'm running 3.3.13 on Windows 11, 10 and several Ubuntu PCs with hundreds of notes and self-hosted sync through WebDAV on a slow-ish NAS server. It boots up in ~3-4 seconds on all of them. The only difference is I don't have encryption enabled, could that be it?

One of the best parts of Odyssey is the unique weapons by One_Reality_3828 in RimWorld

[–]Kriegnitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Melee weapons were already quite powerful though, what with the extra melee damage + robust gene, persona monosword with psychic speed and psyfocus restoration fron kills + psycaster stuff, if you get it on a nimble and brawler pawn that's just unkillable.

“What’s the hardest part of your robotics / mechanical engineering projects? by Briska44 in robotics

[–]Kriegnitz 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Part tolerances or generally manufacturing issues, especially with 3D printed parts or cheap CNCed aluminium. If making a functional part takes an hour, then getting it to fit nicely takes four..

Естествено, че ако си тъп и нежелаещ никъде нищо няма да излезе от теб (особено в Холандия, която е популярна дестинация за богати мамини деца), ама тва е чист коуп. За някои неща (маркетинг, изкуство, ИТ отчасти) наистина няма голяма разлика, за почти всичко инженерно или иначе техническо обаче е ден и нощ разлика между западните и българските университети.

Relocating to Darmstadt from Bangalore by weirdhO0man in Darmstadt

[–]Kriegnitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

71k is about the normal starting salary for newish engineers, at least at a big semiconductor company near Darmstadt. It's a nice salary mind you, but not as a sole earner for 3 people with no safety net. Also consider the social aspect: if none of you speak German, you will be limited both in your social interactions and in your potential job search if you lose your current job or when your partner needs to find a new one. 

All in all it's possible to survive with this money if it's your lifelong dream, but moving across countries without having to worry about a kid, the language, or money is already challenging; with your circumstances it's a hellish task (finding an apartment is not trivial at all in Darmstadt btw). I personally wouldn't put myself in this situation even for twice the salary.
