I build robots. It's fun. Except when it isn't (which is most of the time...)

I would like to thank the crew of @SouthwestAir flt 3459 & 3343 for their deep courtesy in letting me board with the boxed funerary flags and remains of my Army collegue who is on his final flight home, and letting me bring my oversized dress uniform garmet bag aboard. I ❤️ SWA!

I see a lot of responses to reasonable tweets where the second person accuses the first person of being a triggered manbaby, and invariably the accuser is the triggered manbaby. Is there a name for this phenomenon

Second World War tweets from 1941
Colonel Derek Mill-Roberts (L) is among the liberators of Bergen-Belsen. Accepting the surrender of German Field Marshal Erhard Milch, he demands an explanation. Milch replies: "These people are not human beings like you or I". Mill-Roberts beats the Nazi officer unconscious.

The little kid in this Turtlebot video is 15 now and hyped for RoboGames this weekend! Not competing this year, but hoping to see Sewer Snake and maybe catch a celeb citing or two (rip Grant)

@TheRealFergs I remember when my Turtlebot got the Hokuyo upgrade in late 2011, and greatly improved mapping and nav. Here it was delivering a sippy cup to my son using the rosjava Android app.

DoNotPay is building a chrome extension where you can specify something like “negotiate my Comcast bill down,” and it will use the Comcast online chat to lower your bill with GPT-3. Over time, Comcast will also use LLMs. So robots will just be negotiating with each other!
