From what I understand this is the first time training of the system. It's brand new. Its going to take a while.
Some that would be analogous would be those arm robots. At the start they were very specific and I don't think very flexible at all. But when I looked at them going into a factory they are very general purpose machines. The manufacturers would come out and install them and make changes easily. They were also talking about how they would train people onsite to make some alterations, e.g. new box sizes.
Seeing as its using neural networks, they are meant to be general purpose machines right? I'm sure they must be more flexible than other types of systems.
Figure's humanoid robot, deployed at BMW's facility, demonstrates full autonomy in vehicle assembly, guided by neural network-driven actions.
"In January 2024, Figure signed its first commercial agreement with BMW to deploy its humanoid robot in the German carmaker’s production facility in Spartanburg, South Carolina.
Now, the California-based robotics firm has released a video showcasing its 01 humanoid robot executing its first job by participating in the vehicle assembly process."
The UK is a pressure cooker about to go off. If nothing meaningful changes in the next 5 it's going to explode.
I think AI will be the petrol that's going to take the whole thing up. It won't change the world entirely in 5 years but it will do enough.
You really seem to care about showing people how little you care.
We all live in this world and we should take consideration for others. People obviously exclusively care about themselves and it seems people want to show of how much they are the centre of the world by actively showing off to everyone how little they care. Contradictory I know.
No one wants to see you in private clothes, no one wants to see "Juicy" written on your arse, no one want to see your gut hanging out, no one wants to see your huge cleavage going to your bellybutton, no one wants to see your arsecrack.
People now almost take it as a sense of pride that they can look as shitty as possibly just to show off. Yea great, you look a state congratulation.
People used to look way better back in the day.
Now no one has any self respect and just wears PJs to the store.
It could be the best for you.
You seem to be implying all people and countries are on a scale moving closer to some single ideal.
But it's perfectly valid to think your house is the best and want it to be different to someone else's house, who also thinks their house is the best.
People live on top of mountains?
Were are this wind turbines being placed? I hiked to a farm once and had one at work.
Now, I'm not saying they are silent but unless you put one in my back garden I never thought of them as loud.
Sounds like a way to waste loads of money and keep people on fossil fuels.
Must be way cheaper to build more batteries and build out inertia. (Would still need backup power at this point though).
I think all the people saying they are voting for her because she is a women and everyone should vote for her or you are a sexist didn't help.
She just seemed so unlikable and entitled.
Was there ever a sequel to 1984?
Downvoted. Elon bad and I won't hear anything on the contrary.
It's by design.
The rich want low housing and high population because it makes their assets go up. Traditionally like silent generation, greatest generation and before affordable homes for the working class and the following generations was seen as an ideal that people were willing to die for. This ideal was largely realised with the boomers.
But the boomers then decided it is better if they have houses and no one else does because their wealth can go up and they can then make money like the land owners than their grandparents were kept in poverty by. Now they can do it to their children!
I honestly don't think it will be solved until the boomers die. Even then I wouldn't count on it. Too much effort to keep population increasing no matter the cost.
If I was PM I would end up get voted out by doing something drastic like trying to put through a land value tax and building a new city 1mill+ city maybe between Hull and Leeds. Put a big fucking 200mph train line between Liverpool and Hull. Tell everyone to get fucked and steal some quotes from Churchill and JFK about going through hard time for the better of the country.
French citizens.
No country is responsible for the wellbeing of others. The days of empire building are over.
You need to sort our bed time routine out.
Don't do anything in bed other than sleep (or sex). Go to bed try to sleep, if you don't sleep get up and go to another room and come back in half an hour, an hour whatever it takes. Try sleep again if that doesn't work after a bit get up again. I actually find going for a pee and trying again works surprisingly well. Take your TV out of your room, don't use your phone in bed, don't exercise in your bedroom and don't exercise late and night.
Try the military sleep method.
If you want time to waste on something, do a jigsaw or scale model.
Join a board game group.
Watch The World at war 1973. Best ww2 doc ever made and its 26 episodes long. That will waste some time.
Businesses will love that also. Especially for testing.
This could easily explode in demand relatively quickly.
It's Apple.
Plenty if people will pay that and think it's an amazing deal for cutting edge, futuristic, elegant technology that no other company is providing.
The stats I've seen have shown that immigrants from Schengen contribute more than average and commit less crime than locals.
As such on a purely data driven view there is nothing wrong with Schengen. For most people the issues isn't with movement within the people that have lived in Europe for generations. You know they are European, they have European values and there is a back and forth movement/ different perks. In a way Schengen works the way it was designed and works well.
The tax break allows you to save. Means you will accumulate a deposit earlier in life, all else being equal.
What's wrong with catering to the young? They need help.
"Quantum dot technology has been in TVs for years, so why isn’t it already in solar panels? Well, there are a few challenges. If we can engineer around these challenges, then these little devices could have a BIG impact - breaking the limits of our current solar panels, and ushering in a new and radically more efficient age of solar energy."
Plaid Cymru's manifesto calls for the Welsh Parliament to have more funding for public transport.
"Wales needs more funding and "economic fairness" from Westminster, Plaid Cymru has said ahead of its general election manifesto launch later.
Party leader Rhun ap Iorwerth said the general election was "about one thing - the economy".
He said Labour did not offer "meaningful change" after 14 years of "Tory cuts and chaos".
Plaid's manifesto, which is being launched in Cardiff, calls for the Welsh Parliament to have more power over natural resources and funding for public transport."

SpaceX's Starship rocket, a futuristic vehicle designed to eventually carry astronauts to the moon and beyond, will probably have its fourth flight in 3-5 weeks, the company's Chief Executive Elon Musk said in a post on social media platform X on Saturday.
Report says humans may be on brink of cutting fossil fuel generation, even as demand for electricity rises
>Renewable energy accounted for more than 30% of the world’s electricity for the first time last year following a rapid rise in wind and solar power, according to new figures.
>A report on the global power system has found that the world may be on the brink of driving down fossil fuel generation, even as overall demand for electricity continues to rise.
Robert Jenrick leads calls for cap on new arrivals amid drop in GDP per person
> Analysis of Home Office data showed the impact of the shift from EU to non-EU migrants. Migrants from the Middle East, North Africa and Turkey aged 25-64 were almost twice as likely to be economically inactive as someone born in the UK.
> Spanish migrants typically earned around 40pc more than migrants from Pakistan or Bangladesh, while migrants from countries such as Canada, Singapore and Australia paid between four and nine times as much income tax as migrants from Somalia or Pakistan.
I suck at spelling and would like to know a word I have typed is wrong or not. Ideally with a red underline.
I really struggle looking at text I have written and seeing the mistakes. I have tried Samsung, openboard, gboard. None seem to fix the issue.
I'm willing to download anything as long as it's not a privacy concern. Is there any way to get what I want.
I have a Samsung 22+ if that makes a difference

The MoD says the RAF will repel "any airborne attacks within range" of its jets in the Middle East.
"In a statement, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) said the Royal Air Force (RAF) will repel "any airborne attacks within range" of operations in the region.
It is understood RAF jets have flown over Iraq and Syria, not Israel.
PM Rishi Sunak condemned Iran's "reckless attack", pledging the UK would "continue to stand up for Israel's security". "
Sir Keir Starmer reiterates Labour's commitment to the UK having nuclear weapons to "keep Britain safe".
A Labour government would aim to increase defence spending to 2.5% of GDP "as soon as resources allow", Sir Keir Starmer has said.
The Labour leader also told the i newspaper he would conduct a strategic review of defence and security "to be clear what the priorities are".
Sir Keir's aim matches that of Chancellor Jeremy Hunt, who has also said he wants defence spending to rise to 2.5%
Brussels’ new probe into Chinese wind turbines comes as Beijing grabs dominance over global market for solar panels.

Today’s playbook on wind turbines is indeed “all too familiar” to European policymakers, said one EU diplomat, who was granted anonymity to discuss the imminent policy announcement.
The US government has directed unprecedented sums of money at green energy projects.
"Signed into law by President Biden in August 2022, the IRA, along with the so-called Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) enacted in November 2021, are intended, amongst other things, to funnel billions of federal dollars into developing clean energy.
The aim is to lower greenhouse gas emissions, and incentivise private investment, to encourage the growth of green industries and jobs: a new foundation for the US economy.
With a 10-year lifespan, and a cost originally estimated at $391bn (£310bn) but now predicted to reach over $1tn - the final figure is unknown - the IRA offers new and juicer tax credits, as well as loans and loan guarantees for the deployment of emissions reducing technology."
China is adding more coal capacity, but its plants are running less often.
Some analysts think that China’s coal emissions have already peaked – or will peak in the next few years. We’ll have to wait and see if they’re right. But the fact that they can even suggest that a peak in coal use is coming, while China is adding more coal plants, seems contradictory.
Both points can be true, though. China could build more plants while burning less coal. It just has to run them less often. Based on data over the last decade or two, that’s exactly what’s happening.
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is set to discuss industrial overcapacity with top Chinese officials during her trip to China on Wednesday.
Solar panels — 80% of which are made in China — are so cheap that they're now being used to line garden fences in Germany and the Netherlands, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday.
Record-breaking renewable energy production signals ‘end to fossil age’, some researchers believe
Record-breaking renewable energy production signals ‘end to fossil age’, some researchers believe.
