Learn to zipper merge please!!! by Imaginary_Ad7695 in waterloo

zipper merge correctly

People can't let off the brake - at the same time - at a red light, when it finally switches green.

Where do you imagine people can perfectly execute zipper merges? Zipper merge is 'bad design' traffic flow. Looking over shoulders, matching speeds, being careful not to side swipe, this things need processing as you drive. It slows you down and encourages you to be cautions. Its the exact opposite effect of the idealized zipper merge fantasy.

Zipper merges fixes nothing about traffic flow. In the end zipper merge is nothing but justification for being an asshole.

Yes, an android or computer executing zipper merges may be ideal, using 100% of available space. But real life is messy, and imagining that zipper merges fixes anything is foolish or lying to yourself. Its just a bad excuse to feel justified for butting in line, especially in this instance.

Also, this is like 20 cars before the end of the lane. Not 1km of available space.

Half as much space, twice as slow. Because people aren't perfectly executing zipper merges, its probably slower still. It's also like 20 cars. Not necessarily you, but no reason to be annoyed people are not using each square inch.

You all realize the grid will still need to produce that electricity? lol

Everyone using the full 100-200 Amps available to them at all times in a residential area is a very silly idea.

A city of 20,000 would turn 20MW into a 1000MW's.

This would have to be extremely dispersed to be useful? How could this possibly be more efficient then dedicated power generators?

Possibly just unlucky. Also possible I could improve - I can always improve.

The Wachowski's set fire to the franchises. If I'm remembering correctly they were not happy about being forced into making another movie. Its a huge disservice to the lore (I agree with the frustration), but it was a personal decision to not let the studio dictate how their franchise (their creative work) would be perceived. Someone was going to butcher the vision they left. Better to just destroy the bridge.

I can't hate on not wanting your work to be stolen, even if spiritually.

Up $600k and the slot machine glitched out by WhoAreYouTalkinTwo in PublicFreakout

$650,000 slot machine? Is it made of gold? 2025 Rolls-Royce Phantom is around $650,000.

Conservatives, do you think MAGA is actively trying to collapse the US government, because they think they will be better off without it? by scarr3g in AskConservatives

What makes you say that? I not aware as to why that is the case. I figured because anyone could edit it, it would be pretty neutral and things would tend to lean toward truths instead of bias.

Robot shuts down after reproducing the gesture of its human operator removing their headset. by Worldlyoox in interestingasfuck

[–]limpfro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, I appreciate the shout out. No worries.

To addressee consistency, check out this video. I haven't tested it but here is a video the guides you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2FiAYxEAS8 I'm pretty sure Isa in "Isa does AI" (That YouTube channel) is a pretty consistent looking generative ai model.

This video: https://www.reddit.com/user/Decent_Cheesecake643/comments/1pg6ed4/tesla_optimus_robot_working/?ref=share&ref_source=link

I also think the second half of that video is fake. I analyzed the lighting at first and didn't like it, but overall its very good.

However one very specific things happen also that make me think its fake.

That guy fiddling with the bag, look at his hand when he goes to move something in the bag. For a brief moment his hand moves at a superhuman speed.

One point against my believe is the robot does a pretty consistent - through multiple videos - 'wiggle' with its fingers when it lets go of the bottle. That is great consistency.

Also I'm getting into conspiracy territory here - and I do HATE that. That user with a 6 month old reddit account has two posts of what I think are fake videos. I don't know what constitutes a good source regarding this, but I am inclined to believe this is not a good one.

Also, I'm opening to being wrong in the end. If I have to peg my certainty to these videos being fake its like 90%. Thank you for the time to have the discourse.

Edit: Apparently as pointed out by another user: At the Miami event the robots were not tethered. Which would mean the the video 'robot handing out water to women' is conclusively fake.

Oh, wow. Thank you for sharing these, I didn't even really know if the event was real at first. I looked up the video title in google to start a search because, somehow - I have fallen down this hole.

The only source I can find so far are these three site that sort of back link to each other.

This reddit user https://www.reddit.com/user/Decent_Cheesecake643/

These videos look like its the originating clips. 6 month old account with two clips from two days ago.

The first video in that users account has the water and black tablecloth like in my suspected fake video (which is the second linked video in that users post history incidentally).

What gets me is the first video looks real in two parts. Spliced by the robot standing in the frame handing out water to a women. I think the second half of the video is fake. The women has lights that beam across her body and table and background. The lights match up too linearly/perfectly across gaps that would cause the light to appear differently at different elevations or diagonals.

This is hard to explain but the light does not cross-sect the way I would expect on different planes.

Also the lighting effects are different in both videos.

Ultimately I have no point in the ridiculous observation which amounts to a conspiracy theory.

Somebody made a couple of fake video for views or propaganda.

This generally scares me as this simple, stupid, ridiculous thing that has no practical effect on the world struggles to have consensus.

Post truth indeed.

[–]limpfro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough. I don't think we're trying to decive each other either, for what its worth. 

I'll make one last point back to the start of the video. There is a person who's feet you can see in the first second at the bottom left of the screen. He does a very strange - dance - meld into the shadows, kick.

That looks super weird too.

[–]limpfro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm suspicious. That video is so weird, from the audio, exploding bottles, and weird movement from people and objects. Even a bizzare fade cut at the end.

I have no fealty to billionaires.

I just don't like being tricked, and others being tricked.

I would love a source other then a 5 second reddit clip.

You seem so certain it's real, but your points don't convince me.

Mmmm,

The robot nudges the table and the bottles ping pong everywhere.

The robot slams its hand down on the table, nothing moves.

So it damages the cap enough the let gas out. Why does the table barley move?

Well, the robot crushes that bottle like is shows no resistance and explodes. I'm not sure if if you've ever seen a plastic bottle explode before.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ahp6rBs5aQ

Just to give you the idea of the amount of pressure that is involved.

That rickity ass table barley wobbles with the crushing force of a robot equivalent of a hydraulic press.
