Aren't free kicks an example of this? There must be a few in every soccer game, no?

But I don't know how many times the 14 player scenario happens per game in American Football, is it a lot more?

100%. The writing style put me off too, not sure exactly what about is weird though

Seems like the whole thing is just there to sell you on the linked resources. And it feels like AI slop with all the lists.

Agree on it being AI, but what really screamed "AI slop" to me was the emojis. I don't know any tech bloggers who use emojis, but everything that ChatGPT or Gemini generates always has too many emojis.

Also, it starts with

> Microservices didn’t scale our startup. They killed it.

...and then at the end,

> We lost 6 months. We lost some good engineers. We burned through money we didn’t have. But we survived.

...So did microservices kill the startup or not?

definitely not easy by yourself, but the whole process (change, then alignment etc) shouldn't take a decent mechanic's shop more than a couple of hours. I've changed tires on my nearly 200k mile car several times now, and it's usually a few days for the tires to be delivered (in america the mechanic will just receive it) and a 2h appt to get the work done. I'm shocked your parent comment mentioned waiting a whole day at the mechanics'.

My friend does this at Costco, and it takes longer purely because of appt mismanagement and backup, the work itself is quick.

> This is potentially easier than reliably shooting guns at people.

I suspect the shooting guns robots will be used against populations the owner considers sub-human, and reliability (accuracy in this context) is not a concern as long as it doesn't turn around 180degs.

You know they are adding AI to drones fighting in Ukraine (on both sides). Mostly to deal with signalling scamming that prevents remote operators from controlling the drone.

Whether you consider your opponent in a war sub-human or not is completely irrelevant to all the engineering problems you have to solve here.

Reliability is absolutely important, because you want that opposing tank or helicopter or soldier etc to no longer be opposing you. (But, of course, reliability is only one aspect, and engineers make lots and lots of trade-offs.)

What context do you have in mind where you need a robot to shoot people?

Possibly Lorazepam[0]? Relatively common anti-anxiety drug (I have a couple of them in my pocket all times because it can help during seizures).

Probably, yes.

That interview was unfortunately timed (taped before nomination, broadcast afterward). My takeaway was that they are not trying "just not report the numbers" _yet_.

Do you think his position has changed since that interview?

I think his position changes between breakfast and lunch.

Oh they're just waiting for the strategy team to get their act together.

In the context of the article, instead of your parent comment, this sounds like a weak excuse. Is driving to the Huascarán mountains (and it's ilk) more dangerous than climbing it?

I'm almost sure this is a pretty common Zoom feature, I have run into this at least once a month the last 6-7 years.

IMO, it's less a Zoom problem, and more a setting on the host's side problem. Same category as "guest cannot move a meeting invite unless explicitly allowed to" on google calendar.

Yes, it's a config option in Zoom meetings.
