One great thing about NOSTR is that even a retread like me can offer value easily by sending zaps. The value goes both directions in value for value.

Indeed. I appreciate Odell offering OpenSats support for Bitcoin Knots.

After having quite a few conversations about robotics and automation, I’ve noticed people often conflate robotics and AI.
When people explain that the future of robotics may not look the way you expect and the timeline may be longer than you think, the response is often to point out how fast AI is developing.
However, AI and robotics are related—but separate—fields of technology.
AI is software running on static hardware. Robotics is software running on dynamic machinery.
This is why I suspect robotics, especially incredibly intricate and advanced robotics such as humanoid robots, will develop on a longer timeline than AI.
In fact, it seems the order of operations will be to develop AI, then use AI to accelerate the research and development of robotics and automation.
Primarily because both AI and robotics require a lot of electricity, and AI appears to be winning the competition for energy.
Therefore, the robots will likely have to wait until more energy generation is constructed to power them.

Lyn being right AGAIN.
I think humanoid robots that walk around in the world will be at the tail end of robotics development, primarily because they’re largely a novelty or luxury.
All the stuff we really want robots to do can be done by non-humanoid robots.
Advanced self-driving equipment automates things like farming and mining. More intricate industrial machinery further automates manufacturing and power station maintenance. Even activities such as law enforcement can be done by non-human robots (setting aside whether or not people want that).
And on and on.
It seems that robotics will have to advance quite a bit before humanoid robots are functional and economical enough for widespread use.
Most likely, the production of humanoid robots will be enabled by the efficiency gains brought by non-humanoid robots.

Agree. The “everything as a subscription” model is also a stupid clusterfuck.
In somewhat related news, I’ve been telling employers that dollars-per-hour is a shit way to pay employees, because almost no employment is paying for time. They’re paying for stuff to be done. So why not pay per unit of stuff done?

It seems to me the requests for face scans to use various apps and services have increased.
It also seems there are more and more websites, apps, and other online services that refuse access if a VPN connection is detected.
Seems sus.

I 3D print a lot of stuff, and it turns out that there’s way more to learn than I thought. I don’t know much about 3D printing, either. Working on it, though.
Also, F- on the mean reply, Phil. Not mean at all. Rather nice, actually. Thank you!

With the growing number of 3D printers and CNC machines in garages and home offices, it seems possible to develop a decentralized manufacturing network where businesses order machined or printed parts, and the order is routed to the nearest manufacturing node, printed or machined, then shipped across town, rather than across the country.
I am aware of some 3D printing services where you can send models for printing, but as far as I know, these are just remote access to a central print farm.
There would also be challenges of standardization, quality consistency, and other issues that arise when parts are not manufactured by the same equipment in a single facility, but these are solvable problems.
Just thinking out loud on the webernetz. Mean replies only.

Free business plan:
1. Start a butcher shop.
2. Call it “The Bull Market.”
3. Sell meat by the inch instead of the pound.
4. Profit.

My 1999 Toyota Tacoma has over 300K miles on it and still runs great. Unfortunately, I do not know if a newer Toyota will be built to last just as long. But it’s not a bad reputation to gamble on.

It occurs to me that there are probably very few people on NOSTR who will be fooled by this.
Might be useful for your uncle or grandma or anyone still on Facebook.

Somebody has created a impressively copied scam page that looks like the KYC remediation page for the Blockfi legal proceedings.
The scammer also seems to have gained access to emails associated with the Blockfi case, because I got an email with a link to this page.
If you click to recover funds, it asks you for the seed phrase to the wallet where you wish to send the recovered funds.
THIS IS A SCAM.
You will never need to give out your seed phrase to send or receive Bitcoin.
