Submission + - Experiment Develops Robots that Change by 'Consuming' Other Robots (404media.co)
“AI systems need bodies to move beyond current limitations. Physical embodiment brings the AI into the messy, constraint-rich real world—and that’s where true generalization has to happen,” Phillipe Martin Wyder, lead researcher on the project, told 404 Media.

Since it usually takes as much time to review code properly as it does to write it, what are we gaining here. I certainly wouldn't trust any AI currently available to write code without checking it carefully.

Yeah, I had something like that in my car. I was stopped with my left turn blinker going. The first oncoming car stopped and waved me to turn ahead of him. I didn't have a clear view of the other lane, so I waited, and sure enough another car zipped out and would have creamed me if I had turned.

Portals are better, but the Federation doesn't have those. Only other races like the builders of the Guardian, or the Ikonians in TNGs "Contagion" have those.

The ALTER might be obsolete, but if you're working on "obsolete" code that has it, you're still in for a headache.

That's how it started. I'd read during the commercial break, and if the book was interesting, I was slow to put it down, especially if the show was not that good.
Of course, with DVRs and Netflix, I seldom have "commercial breaks", but I might still reach for my Kindle if the show has a slow part (most of them do).

For me, it's a mixed bag. I don't pick up new things as quickly as I used to. However, a lot of stuff is similar to stuff I already know, so I'm not starting from zero.
