WARNING: AI VENDOR HYPE

I would estimate that 90% of software developers I have spoken to lack basic statistical understanding. Basic concepts like kurtosis, skewness, moments, the core Greeks all seem to be alien concepts to most.

> Basic concepts like kurtosis, skewness

You can probably lead a decent life without understanding kurtosis and skewness. You probably can’t if you don’t understand when a normal distribution applies.

When the inevitable trials of the Trump administration and it's agents occurs...

We should ask Germany to let us hold the trials in Nuremberg.

The US doesn’t recognize the ICC and has sanctioned its members. What makes you think anything will come of this unless nuclear bombs are dropped and the sitting president puts a bullet in his own head because he doesn’t want to be captured and tortured by encroaching Soviet troops?

Xiaomi robots do this in double digit seconds.

Still slow compared to humans, but Chinese robots will be as successful as Chinese EVs, phones and solar panels.

Which is to say, they'll be banned in the US.

How long until we’re like Cuba, still tooling around in 50s cars. But maybe that’ll actually be seen as some kind of Luddite utopia in the future.

The 1950s in US didn't have vaccines, robots, or data centers.

~1min per shirt in a controlled environment. Better but still far away.

Also, 24h 365d, which is superior to humans.

And? Still in a controlled environment. I cannot pick one up today from a store.

laundry folding is some superficial benchmark, real impact will be made in controlled environments in factories, packing centers, etc.

And? Please scroll the start of this thread. Robotics is a long way off, we need better models and more compute. I am not sure what you are arguing for.

My point is that robotics is not long way off, but already has strong utility and gradually taking over more and more functions.

How many years have people been saying that? Remind me of this post in 5 years.

and for how many years has it already been true that robots are taking over more and more tasks

As if Biden didn’t also explode the debt while in office. This is a bi-partisan issue.

Pretty much like the 3 Stooges, the best they have to offer is nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.

Bessent is especially moronic financially, if he actually had what it takes to perform adequately in his position, Trump would not stand for it.

In my experience who live and work with smart people, and make smart decisions about their personal lives and families are pretty happy .

You can have a high IQ and make really stupid personal decisions.

Albert Einstein was notorious for this . He made catastrophic personal decisions that destroyed his families. His various wives and numerous mistresses ended up despising him and his son ended up in an asylum .
