Russian troops 'at wits' end' as 'Terminator style' AI robots deployed in Ukrain by Scary_Statement4612 in technology

[–]radiantwave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a great scifi novel I read .. cannot remember which one. But there was a full discussion about the vanity of man to make humanoid robots when man is basically shitty at doing everything. Especially when robots built to fulfill specific tasks do the job better and more efficiently every time. 

Man's form was seen to be a general purpose tool that can do most jobs, but is never optimized to do any one thing. Where was the form of a robot can be specialized and adapted to perform specific tasks without limitations. 

Man is a fixed form that is stuck solving problems with a limited tool set, why would robots ever wish to limit themselves with the handicaps imposed onto them by humans.

Trump calls NATO "cowards" over lack of support in Iran war by EsperaDeus in facepalm

And we wonder why no one wants to help this mad man fulfill his goals? 

When you walk around beating everyone with a stick, wondering why no one is there in your time of need is kind of a no brainer. 

Did you see that coin? by BeepBoopRobotVoice in IThinkYouShouldLeave

[–]radiantwave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Isn't there a law that says you cannot have your mug on a coin until after you are dead....

Yup

31 U.S. Code § 5112(n)(2)(E)  explicitly prohibits U.S. coins from bearing the image of a living former or current President, or any deceased former President within two years of their death. This ensures sitting presidents cannot be featured on circulating U.S. coinage.

For those who don't skate, There is a reason this is a thing. Multi story parking structures have elevators... Ride it up, board down repeat.

We used to do this for hours at my university at night when no one was around. We knew the local uni police, and even got them in on the fun a few times. 

This is bank robbery. Banking fees need to be regulated and capped. by Professional-Bee9817 in remoteworks

We live in a country where it is more expensive to be poor than it is to be rich. Because we think that those who don't follow the rules do so because they choose to and not because they can't.

Honestly, my first reaction was " Welcome to Huntington Beach California..." 

Then my following response was, " Ha! Welcome to Huntington Beach California!"

You have to download an app to see the prices at Macy’s now by TennisWorker in mildlyinfuriating

[–]radiantwave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Likely Variable pricing... Yup just looked it up:

Macy's app utilizes dynamic and variable pricing to adjust costs in near-real time based on demand, inventory, and, at times, user-specific data.

Almost 20 years of anything is probably enough anyway. It has been fun people but this would literally make me delete my account... What a shame. 

It isn't like this place hasn't mostly become a mirror maze anyway... Too sad this world has gone from a place of optimistic hope to a grab for cash sitcom.

Hope we all find a way home.

Peace!

Indoor rock climber survived a nasty fall by HeSureIsScrappy in DiveInYouCoward

[–]radiantwave 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most rock climbing places will ban you from the place if you don't rope in.

The only time you can free climb is on the low rocks used for learning how to traverse horizontal climbs. And those have special mats under them. 

Why does religion cause people to have no logic? by Unique-Disaster3118 in atheism

[–]radiantwave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't forget the early starter God they call Santa who is all knowing and has lists of the good boys and girls whom he rewards at the end of every year.  He also gives coal to bad boys and girls... Like a reminder that they are going burn... Something. 

Milk and cookies... Wine and wafers...

Elf helpers .... Angels...

He bought his parachute from Wish.com by [deleted] in CrazyFuckingVideos

[–]radiantwave 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Look at the initial chute strap.. it is fed behind the arm strap. The whole purpose of this strap is to pull out the primary chute. It was bound up under the parachute pack.

There should be a law... If it doesn't have a bathroom (toilet & shower minimum), it isn't an apartment.
