This doesn't look anything like a humanoid robot that's being used in a factory. This looks exactly like a humanoid robot in a research lab (probably academic), attached to a safety harness for testing purposes.

They were clearly running tests, probably trying out a firmware or software update, and they found a liiiiittle bug. This erratic behavior can easily be caused by a tiny subtle memory error in C/C++ code or by transcribing the wrong bits into the serialized joint motor commands.

Please use safe languages and verifiable methods when developing software for humanoids, folks.

The "reform is impossible" is a self-fulfilling prophesy because it leads leftists to never try to get involved in the party, which means they'll never get a seat at the table, which means they'll never be able to steer the party.

I certainly can't prove that the influence of big money can ever be overcome within the party by grassroots organization, but you also can't prove that it's impossible (you can only prove that it's difficult, which is something I certainly won't dispute).

You certainly can't prove that a true socialist movement will ever gain traction in America. It seems like the general public is so brainwashed they would rather be indentured servants of large corporations than lift a single finger to seize the means of production.

So we're left with two unprovable paths to consider, and here's the thing: the two paths are not mutually exclusive. Leftists can try both at the same time with neither being disruptive to the other. So this is the pragmatism: consider all possibilities and put the eggs into more than one basket.

A good enough compiler would prevent them from happening 🦀

Might be interesting if we could compare the percentage of pitbulls that have killed or maimed a child versus the percentage of IDF soldiers that have killed or maimed a child.

Maybe even more informative would be the average number of children killed or maimed per pitbull versus the average number of children killed or maimed per IDF soldier 🤔

TIL caring about issues that cause unimaginable degrees of unnecessary suffering and also threaten to end human civilization as we know it is trolling.

Shhhh we can't let them know that George Soros is secretly a radical leftist vegan.

You aren't weighing in on it while blatantly implying that the group in question is "idiotic", okay buddy 🥴

You're also asserting that my definition was wrong without saying anything about how it was wrong or what would be correct.

What are you even contributing to the conversation? Why did you waste the electricity to transmit any of the utterly worthless bytes that you did? And why am I wasting my time responding?

The last question has an easy answer: I have nothing better to do while I poop. But the rest of the questions are truly a mystery.

Life insurance premiums are about to skyrocket for Boeing whistleblowers.

Honestly it's the right call. We're really not worth it.

The only way to fix C++ is if you're willing to break backwards compatibility and invent C++2.0.

But that already exists, and it's called Rust.

Congratulations, you're halfway there! Just two more times and you'll never catch it again 😁

And you've pretty much made it over the tipping point into being a Rustacean when you embrace the fact that it is a good thing that Rust doesn't let you do things the way you're familiar with from other languages because those familiar ways were always the source of immense suffering without you even realizing it.
