Some people print their Bitcoin wallet recovery phrase onto a metal sheet, so they've got a fire and error proof way to recover the wallet. That would be easy to steal.
I guess the point I was trying to make in my original post is - say we invent human robots tomorrow - what's better about them than actual humans, which we already have an unlimited supply of? It just seems like a god complex thing to me, not really solving any major problems for humanity.
I just don't understand who the market is supposed to be for humanoid robots. Manufacturing? They've already built bespoke task-centric robots. Consumers and businesses? They can already hire a real person without spending money upfront to "purchase" said person. I just don't see the use case. It feels like another metaverse or smart glasses. Just another desperate grab at investor money and trying to claim the next "big thing".
Indeed, how did they fuck that up so badly? I feel like you have to be trying these days to embed a map and address picker and not have it support global addresses.
Similar story here. I would guess an ultrasonic sensor would be the most reliable solution for OP, since all the tech can be kept at the top of the well. The only minor question I have is whether echoes would be an issue in a well, but I think it's worth trying to find out! You can get inexpensive preassembled units that work with Zigbee/Tuya,
Honestly, the only way I see is by staying under the radar. Right now Lemmy feels like early-days Reddit - most people haven't heard of it, and the content is skewed heavily towards privacy-focused tech nerds. As soon as it becomes mainstream and everyone has a Lemmy account, that's when the corporate trolling and bots arrive.
The one good thing about Lemmy is its distributed nature. Like we used to have private or invite-only forums back in the day, perhaps some servers could implement this kind of approach and only federate carefully with other servers. Would require a lot of coordination. But there's definitely more hope here than on a commercial and centralised platform!
This seems especially handy for anyone who wants a snapshot of Reddit from pre-enshittification and AI era, where content was more authentic and less driven by bots and commercial manipulation of opinion. Just choose the cutoff date you want and stick with that dataset.
I really hate late stage capitalism for this. Any useful invention is quickly captured and enshittified for profit. If this came out 20-30 years ago I doubt anyone would have reservations.
Set yourself clear milestones. When will this project be "done"? What features is the engine going to have? What is in/out of scope?
And be aware, as an indie you either make a game engine or you make a game. It's near impossible to achieve both without sinking a crazy amount of time into it.
Making a game engine is an excellent way to sharpen your skillset when it comes to programming, math, physics, and graphics APIs. But it's an awful way to make a game. Just be sure you're going into it for the right reasons.
Black Friday bushfires covered a larger but mostly rural area, but LA fires were in suburban areas so more homes were lost. That said, losses in both were substantial.
Even if they were live streaming that they were smuggling drugs with their exact location, the US doesn't get to play judge jury and executioner in international waters.
