The dishwasher is missing the thinking part... It only ever does the exact thing ordered to it.
Bashing one's head against the wall in a day long debugging session for some hard bug usually cures people of the opinion that "computers only ever do what we tell them to do" is a serious limitation on their range of behaviours in practice.

Wow, 1 economist back in 1891 considered it a fallacy. You know, before the advent of modern quantitative economics as a science and all the labor econ research that's been done since then. Now it has a wiki article that's missing citations in the most important key points. Thanks for changing my viewpoint!

I teach robotics to students age 11 - 14. We have settled on the definition that a robot must do three things: sense, think, act. First thing I do is take away all of the remote controls and tell them they have to program it. I wish that programs like VEX and FLL would do away with the "tele-operated" portions of their competitions. Kids may enjoy it, but too many of them fall into the trap of treating it all like a…
I don't remember FLL having a teleop mode. Back when I did it, it was fully autonomous, but things may have changed since then. However, FTC, supposedly the grown up version of FLL, had both teleop and autonomous, and with the way it was scored, all you really needed was a solid teleop to crush regional competitions, so we ended up doing way less programming than in middle school FLL. I believe VEX worked the same wa…
It’s kind of simplistic to say all you need is a good teleop period. In many competitions some teams that had worse teleop were picked because they could consistently score in autonomous, which is pretty good EV.
