I once got into a "debate" with WalterBright and I mean, I dunno. The man's accomplished far more than me, but like.

This is why I absolutely will die on the hill that models can't be called open source if we don't have the source that created them.

Real brave of you to throw out that opinion with an account you made 20 minutes ago. Who's the real AI here?

Thank you for reminding me that, while Python is slow, there are still reasons to pick it over the alternatives.

What if you define robot as anything with an arm that can do arbitrary things?

It's "just" an engineering problem at that point though. It works. First it'll be at Disneyland for tens of millions of dollars and then it'll be in Vegas for millions of dollars and then eventually we'll be able to get it at BestBuy for $1,999 in 40 years.

What's frustrating is that at the end of an event like a concert, everyone goes outside to catch an Uber/Lyft, but we then have to match driver to passenger, instead of having a line of waiting cars, each group just gets in the next available vehicle, shows the driver a QR code, instead of the mess we currently have. Why can't we do that? Taxi regulatory capture.

Glinet routers are already this.

Buy https://www.gl-inet.com/en-us/products/gl-mt3600be and move on with your life.

Alternately, what's the problem you're trying to solve? Who are your potential customers? Why do existing options in the market not address their needs?

With the caveat that Libya, being located upon Earth, is affected by solar power not working at night or when it's cloudy, and is also subject to being in Libya, which is a country with bureaucrats that are going to subject anything built in the country to their laws.

Maybe. Given how far they've come since 2022, on the one hand, that would be great for the industry and my continued employment but OTOH that, I'm sorry to say, sounds like wishful thinking, tbh. I'd love that just as much as you, because otherwise how am I gonna pay my bills? What's gonna happen if that doesn't materialize though?
