    I built 2 muskulokeletal humanoid robots with my team. They use tendons to imitate the human muscles. It's also probably the most hugged robot in the world, as we let people hug th…

    Bracelets don’t work, they’re foreign objects - they don’t remember why they’re there so they just take them off. Shoes can work, but they might not put them on. QR tattoos - how d…

    Makes sense that this works. It has probably thousands of examples of it working in the training data. The system is trained on human use of language, therefore it is reasonable to…

    This ignores that the selection of the generated results being published is part of the creative process. AIs will not learn off an iid sampling of AI output, but of one that is ex…

    Q from outside the US: why is capital needed for payroll mid month? Are there some automatic insolvency processes if it is missed by a day? Why do the companies fall apart if there…

    Time searching is cheaper then time watching is an interesting thought … I do hope this is not a metric where my searching time is seen as positive … because that would be a very s…

    But if there was too much, shouldn‘t I have too many good option rather than too few?

    I have seen it getting worse and worse over the last years and also I have watched so much on these platforms that I‘d think the signal should stand out no matter the underlying re…

    I find this very interesting that the orgs allow this to go as far as making my experience so miserable that I consider leaving the platforms. I guess it’sa slippery slope and prov…

    Yeah, but I consciously watch things my wife likes with her on her account exactly due to this ;)

    Yeah I’ve noticed this as well, and I have liked quite some of their original content … But if it gets to the point that they’re failing to keep me as a custoner at all, something …

    I have considered this, and there’s some truth truth to this, that I have watched all from my favorite categories … but then I do discover whole seasons of things I haven’t watched…

    Ask HN: How can Netflix and Amazon Prime be this bad at recommending content?

    I’ve literally spent 20 minutes for the xth time in a row looking for anything that remotely captures me on both platforms and in the end did not watch anything. I’ve spent hundred…

    If you lack the imagination of what an upload could be like, it’s definitely saner not to aim for it. Upload must contain your body as large parts of a „you“ are not in the brain b…

    Yes please, Quest should just allow me to lie down and then define this as standing. This should not be an app feature but a headset feature. VR is currently only usable while stan…

    I really like the increase in transparency, I found it somewhat disturbing to pay for what feels like a random amount of stuff. How should I know if I need Pro or Pro+ if there is …

    nice! but why don't you just calculate soft shadows the way they occur physically by sampling an area light source instead of a point light source? You can basically run the same a…
