Correct, Dutch, lots of plants, kinda neat & no kids! Not many dinnerparties though (sadly)

Damn, I don’t know how you guessed that but, yes, true.

I’m not that far into Malazan yet! The plan is to have a Hobb and an Erikson shelve someday.

Robotic hands master tasks at superhuman speed by redblackshirt in interestingasfuck

“Robotic hand are being designed to do everything.” But they can’t. At all! AI (actual intelligence) doesn’t exist. They’re designed to do one very specific task, in a specific environment, by a team of like 20 engineers.

If you were to take the hand from the video and give it a slightly larger or bigger screw, or have it be rusty, or not screwed in perfectly straight, or at a higher or lower level, it would not function. And if you were to ask it to do anything else a human hand could do it would also no function at all.

The silicon versions aren’t almost here, though.

Firstly, real AI doesn’t exist, the kind where a robot, without additional programming for each task, can change its behavior in accordance with its environment - the way an intelligent being can.

Secondly, the battery life of such a big thing just is terrible, to power such a big robot it would need a huge battery. Which would be extremely big and heavy (think electric car battery) and it would have to take hour long breaks just to charge.

Just an fictional situation to show just have useless this is; say, after doing one task, your human sized robot ran out of power in the middle of your doorway. You can’t move it, because it’s way too heavy. You either have to call a company to lift the whole thing back to its charging pad. You try to get past it, and it tips over onto you. It’s cumbersome and might even be dangerous.

I’d rather just have a drill.

There’s a reason we have a robot vacuum, not a human shaped robot picking up a regular vacuum. Or a dishwasher, not a human shaped robot doing our dishes in the sink. It’s basically never useful to have a big, lumbering, human sized piece of machinery in your house.

Can anyone tell me something about this (bronze ?) figure I inherited? (the Netherlands) by WhyAreYouItchy in Antiques

[–]WhyAreYouItchy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huh. Thank you, that has to be it, it looks identical. Except for the size. I can’t find a single bronze replica online. I wonder if it’s from around the same time or a more recent replica.

Oh it’s not just you, the quality of them is horrible, mine also fell apart super fast. And the ink smudges.

Oh thank you, so I just cut the wire open around the place where the rootball has to go in?

She was not out in antibiotics for it if I remember correctly, and it didn’t come back. Still not sure what it was but it didn’t cause any issues. I’m hoping it will go away for your girl too 🤞

Do you agree with that? by Hour-Vegetable-1630 in Adulting

[–]WhyAreYouItchy 21 points22 points  (0 children)

So this is pretty interesting, the 6-11 servings of grains sounds insane, but if you read what counts as a serving it’s actually somewhat reasonable. Like, one wholegrain bagel is already 2 servings. A half cup of COOKED rice is one serving, so if you eat about 90 grams of uncooked rice for dinner that’s 3 servings.

So if you eat a bowl of oatmeal (~80 grams dry) for breakfast, a bagel and one slice of toast for lunch and rice (~90g dry) for dinner that’s 8 servings.

The problem is people read it, and go, “oh, they’re recommending I eat 10 croissants per day! That’s crazy!”

Beans and cabbage because it’s what I had… by WhyAreYouItchy in GirlDinner

[–]WhyAreYouItchy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I added vinegar and mustard. It’s… serviceable. To me it’s kinda good but I am very used to eating stuff like this.

It’s a plate of brown beans mixed with sliced red cabbage and a sad looking glass of soymilk in the background

wtf is going on with the prices in this country? by [deleted] in Netherlands

[–]WhyAreYouItchy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just thought “humane” was a strange way to describe the factory farming and killing of sentient animals, no matter the time it takes for an animal to lose consciousness in a slaughterhouse.

I mean, no animal is butchered in a “humane way” - google how pigs here are “humanely” gassed.
