And it shows the robot getting into something of a loop when trying to fold the white shorts. I wonder if someone pushed a button to get it out of that.

Also enshittification is slowly starting. Yesterday I asked Gemini (in the Android app) for a recommendation for an app for sound recording. Instead of it answering I got a popup to allow Gemini access to open the app store (or something like that, I didn't allow it). When I declined it just stopped the conversation. It was actually hard to get it to just reply with a list of apps. And I have an AI subscription with Google!

What are the statistics for quality of life after CPR even if it saves the patients life? I think this is more what the article is about.

Watching the videos on the race I was surprised that "Marlin strike", where Marlin fish poke holes with their bill in the hull, seems to be a problem at least now and then. There was a scene where they epoxy the hole with part of the bill still sticking into the vessel.

You can get one here, you'll have to wait until next year though: https://light.bio/

I'm sure that's a big reason. But I think they also may be afraid that, if CarPlay/AndroidAuto really becomes such a must have that they can't sell cars without, Apple and Google with start charging them huge fees.

It may actually be cheaper to have the robot remotely operated all the time from some low cost country...

This thing is also surprising considering Fable was not allowed to answer any biology questions.

In traditional Cologne brewery bars where they serve the local light beer (in small glasses of 200 ml) the waiter replaces empty glasses with full ones without asking. Unless you put the coaster on top. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%B6lsch_(beer)#Serving

If this should actually go on for longer there might be a danger that those employees just start their own companies in Europe or Asia.

"Over the following decades, Lee built a strong government that was backed by a competent and virtually corruption-free civil service..."

This part of the history, only mentioned in this one sentence, is the most interesting and relevant for other countries, and is really what sets Singapore apart from other countries in the region.

He did use a IR stroboscope and a camera, as owls can apparently not see IR.

There are multiple similar companies in many European countries, even though the government provides (often somewhat basic) tools to file taxes. A large percentage of citizens in the Germany and Austria use paid software because it's more comfortable, same in the UK and Poland. But yes, it would be better if that was not the case, like in Scandinavia.

Even just searching in Germany there are at least 4 companies making different designs. I guess they must be selling quite well. Most make non solar tiles of the same size and design for shaded parts of the roof.

The US is also currently rerunning this experiment with gambling/sports betting. Also does not seem to turn out so well...

But bacteria also become resistant against phages, you would still have to continuously develop new ones.

It's not really clear, the German part was going slower than the tunnel, but now that the tunnel is also delayed by at least 2 years, who knows maybe they are in sync again ;). The road link seems to be going much faster than the rail link on the German sinde, which won't be done before 2032.

I think they mean the algae is in sunlight during the day and growing, producing light only at night.

I just get Error: SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER from Firefox and Edge.

Germany just enacted a law that makes landlords pay part of the heating bill to change the incentives for upgrading the equipment.

That's the same thing, no?

NIMBYs are the reason why large parts of the mentioned new 700 km Südlink connection are being built as below ground cables, adding enomous costs.

I very much doubt that humanoid robots will be cleaning airplane cabins any time soon...

Also trust in PCR cyclers ist often low... PCR is often not straight forward, chemicals can go bad, primers don't work reliably, input DNA has inhibitors, etc. So people are quick to blame the thermocycler if things don't work for an unknown reason, or some have their favorite cycler that "always works for me", and don't what to switch to an unknown one. I guess part of the reason is that there is no log where you can check the exact temperature in every well of the block after the run. Failed PCRs cost money and especially time, so I can see why people don't want to try machines some guy built in his garage.

Yeah, tell the thousands of PhD students who question their life choices over non-working PCRs every year that it's "optimal". ;)

In normal biology labs real-time PCR is used much less than normal PCR, I'd guess 5% of PCRs across labs are run in real-time machines.

Here is a nice video with slow motion footage of the bees in flight, and an interview with the researcher: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jje1LPrsHbc

The aquarium is great, but when I was there I found the penguin exhibit a bit sad: it's completely indoors, the penguins will never see the sun or sky...

Tphakala recently also published a cli tool to process recordings, it can also use other models such as Google perch.

My travel health insurance lately warns of Egyptian hospitals and doctors trying to charge absurd amounts for simple procedures for tourists, and pressuring them to pay, arguing they can get it back from their insurance. Similar story.
