general

vr. little

i have a lot

and its still nsowing very heavy

the storm for us doesn't really kick off until later tonight

I'm jealous

i bet youll get more

by the end

How much have you gotten

if you end up getting 6'', I think it'll be a record annual snowfall for Richmond

after all the separate storms

Weather radar shows Richmond is only getting skimmed by the snowstorm and it should not be snowing as much soon

I only know that is vaguely where you people are

the literal RVA record is apparently 3' from 1772, because George Washington wrote about it in his journal

that's a fun historical footnote

Yeah thats a good one

I like old historical weather notes

was the foot standardized then?

yes

it's been standard since the 1500s I'm pretty sure

you get your crazy weather while I wait for temperatures to go back above 40 in 5 days

there's another hour minimum of snow here

then its probably gone

more tomorrow Max

there's a 2nd storm

ye

there's another one coming too

Radar says you are essentially all clear in 2, but mostly done in 1 yeah

and for pika

You go from my winter temperatures to quite warm for this time of year by Canada standards this week

thats a decent range

we also did this in reverse like 10 days ago

I spent 3ish days doing that 4-index tensor stuff because the autogenerated gradient calculation was way too slow, and now that I have it implemented it runs around 2 orders of magnitude faster

nice

Like this comment if you remember the investment channel

fun research stuff, my brand new technique has the blue line loss descent

hard to imagine anything more terrifying than this nigga walking around your house late at night

get up at 3 am for a glass of water and this dude is just staring at you with his beady rat eyes

all the concept stuff is lame

I want to see one of these actually exist

I dont see the point

Theyre gonna be too expensive to ever afford

Regi, you're probably a good judge of this

I think these will cost $15k

whichever company ends up putting out the first consumer android

do you think that's wildly off?

elon said his would be about that

give or take double the price

I think itd be closer to 30

I think the Tesla flagship bot was going to be more, but they wanted a ~$10k consumer version

Maybe more for a good one

30 is my bet

as well

Actually, I’m gonna raise, I’m gonna say 40, it’s going to be Price comparative to another car

in my head, $15k feels like the price you can get normal, non-millionaires to buy one

That’s how they probably have to market it

at 15k, you're paying $300-500/month for 4 years

which is in-line with what people are paying for maid services already

and I think ~4 years is the most you'd want to be paying off anything tech-related

What are they even trying to get them to do, I can’t think of the use case to justify being that expensive

sex

OK fair

Max and I had this discussion

sex and murder

were the only two major things we could think of

Cause like the only other thing would be childcare, and I don’t think they could do that legally they’d be so much risk

the actual answer, is 90% folding laundry, and 10% carrying bags from the car to the house

which imo, if they actually perfect, would be pretty fucking cool (not worth $15k though)

They’re gonna run to the same issues that self driving cars have, where they can’t let it do anything by itself because they’re at fault

if you make it have a function "app store", where you enable it to do things like take pictures, or carry stuff for you

I could see that being a tansfer of liability

Well, like another big one would be cooking, if it could do meal prep and cooking for you, I can see that being worth

But I doubt it would be allowed to operate things due to risk of fire

I think cleaning is sorta a meme, you're better off with a robovac and spending a few minutes a month dusting or cleaning windows

Ya

and I'm suspect of it's ability to cook complex things

I actually think it could probably do simple things, and I'd be into that

even if it can only make steak and potatoes or w/e
