Currently it cannot. It does let you select which applications it records from though (ex: I have it set to record my game audio, discord, and my microphone, but not Spotify).

…is this not just a muffler/silencer for leaf blowers? Good on these kids! This definitely falls under the ‘why didn’t I think of that!’ category for me.

They could make more specialized robots, but I imagine the selling point is the versatility. A specialized robot can make food at a fast food restaurant, but can it also deliver food to customers, mop floors, and clean bathrooms? Adding a specialized robot to a kitchen or a factory floor may require you to completely re-design how the floor/room is set up, but adding a humanoid shaped robot would not require any extra setup (well, besides teaching it/programming it).

Spot has been used as a security guard/ inspector at some sites. Going up stairs/ladders would be extremely difficult for something on wheels/treads, but for a robot that works like a human it could be easy.

Wait till you see his van.

This is awesome, thank you!

I love that this comic about Octopi/Squids is posted by Flying Squid

When I used to manage people (for a call center) I would do that but via text. I didn’t wanna catch anyone off guard with a phonecall where they agree to it without realizing they already had plans or something.

I also always tried to stress that this is optional, if there aren’t enough people, that’s on us, and we should have prepared better.

Ty for the link. I remember the day he died my dad was pretty torn up by it. Now I have a lot more context.

Looks like he wrote this article for his book on this that is coming out on Oct 24th: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/217260/ours-was-the-shining-future-by-david-leonhardt/

That’s what the golden parachute is supposed to be for: a payout long term so the CEO doesn’t make a short term decision that fucks the company up but pays out big. Ex: offering a stock package that you can’t sell for 5-10years.

A decision like this will pay out HUGE in the short term, but if they don’t change it I doubt many will be using unity in a few years.
