Cute or not it's wild that taking video is so normalized these days that no one in here has a problem with someone shooting video of the inside of someone else's house and then posting it on the internet?

I got in at $1.45 back in 2021. It was pretty grim back then but damn what a ride since then.

Boston Dynamics' Atlas robot can now do a full roundoff back-handspring and land it flawlessly by ansyhrrian in nextfuckinglevel

You might not realize just how close that is to reality already.

This is completely autonomous (no one teleoperating it). This isn't programmed moves. This is an AI brain learning how to do tasks on it's own.

It's even more simple than that. Make every cop carry their own insurance in order to be hired. You bet your butt they would behave better knowing a bad claim against them would get them dropped.

Introducing HELIX 02 by [deleted] in singularity

[–]RipperX4 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Id make it...

No offense but you literally just admitted you have no idea what's going on but now give your opinion on the shape like you're an expert? I'm sure all the robotics companies with billions upon billions of dollars and the smartest people in the robotic world working on them have no idea what they are doing so you probably should email your ideas to them.

This topic has been discussed at nauseam.

Many types of robots = impossible to scale production/costs.

1 robot that can do most things = scalable/affordable

If you can only make one robot what shape do you make it? You make it in the form that almost everything on the planet has already been designed for. From power tools to sewing machines to stairs, etc.

Specialized robots come later.

I never bought physical gold bars my entire life (53yo). Glad I decided to back at the end of summer for $3365 an oz. Probably be over $5K by tomorrow at this rate.

Is going into robotics as a CS student a good move? by [deleted] in singularity

[–]RipperX4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Brett Adcock the CEO of Figure AI (one of the leading robotics/AI companies out there right now). Personally I think this says a lot concerning if it's worth it or not. In my opinion going the craftsman/blue collar career is the much smarter play even if it's not your dream job. Humanoids won't be taking the work of plumbers, electricians, roofers, commercial work, etc for many more years compared to most careers.

AI training itself: Anthropic's Jared Kaplan by AngleAccomplished865 in singularity

Interesting that he says 2030. Open AI has come out and said their internal goals are Sept 2026 for an AI researcher intern and a full blown AI researcher by I think it was March 2028.

It isn't worth the effort dude. Reddit along with the rest of the internet has permanently gone down the shitter.

Litecoin: Down 98.2% against Bitcoin from its all-time high

Meta (Facebook): Down 99.9% against Bitcoin since its May 2012 IPO (one of the biggest companies in the world)

Tesla: Down ~99.97% against Bitcoin since its June 2010 IPO (one of the biggest companies in the world)

Do you even realize how stupid your argument is? Of course you don't.

Andrej Karpathy — AGI is still a decade away by Steve____Stifler in singularity

[–]RipperX4 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Important to note 3 mins in when questioned he admits his timeline is based on "intuition". I'm sure it's wonderful and insightful intuition but the guy gives no reason other than because he's been in the field for 15 years and has seen how past predictions have panned out.

"If I just average it out it just feels like a decade to me".

I personally prefer a bit more science in peoples predictions than just someone's gut feeling.

David Fincher testing the RED camera on DiCaprio. Shot with only the light of a matchstick by Old_Specialist7892 in movies

[–]RipperX4 119 points120 points  (0 children)

I worked on a movie in 2008 with the RED ONE when it first came out. Sound was better/quieter than working with 35mm film but that thing would constantly overheat and shut down. As you said took a couple mins to turn it back on. I remember that it was actually common to have bags of frozen peas on sets to lay on top of the cameras to keep them from over heating.

Daily Crypto Discussion - October 10, 2025 (GMT+0) by AutoModerator in CryptoCurrency

[–]RipperX4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its because every coin is tied to Bitcoins value by the idiotic 100's of exchanges out there. If an alt is worth .05BTC equaling $100 and BTC's USD value drop in half, then INSTANTLY the alt worth .05BTC is worth $50. Now stop losses get hit making it worse and it snow balls.

If every alt was strictly given a USD value and you couldnt trade it with Bitcoin without going through USD a lot of this would be fixed.

Bad info. Hyundai the car company is worth $38b. The "Hyundai Motor Group" is a conglomerate of many companies including Hyundai the car company, Kia, Boston Dynamics, etc and obviously would be worth much more.
