All terrain mobility.
Based on what we know about the Boston Dynamics Robot Dog, which last time I checked started at $75,000, I’d expect this to be similar. It’s not automomous so that would make it cheaper, but it also needs to be robust enough to carry a person which adds cost.
Yeah, you’d need a specialized service for it. Locally we have these places:

That’s what I was thinking. 2nd thought: Does it come in green?
I would have linked directly to the Kawasaki site, but it’s less news article and more promotional:

Physical reveal here… but more of a model.
Yeah, but you don’t have to feed it and dispose of poop. :)
They state that each leg has it’s own motor so there would have to be some kind of standardization there.
I can’t imagine electric motors being THAT hard to swap out, I mean, my wheelchair has two of them and they’re user replacable. (Right hand motor and Left hand motor being separate units).
I’m not sure about user REPAIRABLE, that’s a different deal, but at a minimum user replacable.

It looks like a panther to me.

I’ve never had eye strain from a CRT or LCD.
How many seconds per frame does it get?

“20%-30% of code inside the company’s repositories”
Now, if they had said “20%-30% of code written in the past 6 months…” I might buy that.
The repositories are going to have all the current codebase, likely going back years now. AI generated code is barely viable at this point and really only pretty recently.
No way 1/3rd of all current codebase is AI.
Tried to pay a credit card through the app last week.
“An error has occurred.”
So I just, you know, called the number on the back of the card and paid it through their IVR.
Yup. If you’re on unemployment and have to hit an application quota, you can’t afford to be picky. :)
Quite a lot of job portals are not only Windows dependent, they can even be I.E./Edge dependent.
It’s godawful, so many things don’t work in Safari and it’s because Apple can’t stand other people coming up with “standards”. :)
Windows for interoperability.
Try job hunting without a Windows machine. Good luck!
(My wife hates it when she hits websites that don’t work properly and starts swearing, then I ask “Are you using a real browser or just Safari?” - “FUCK YOU!” Somehow we’re still married. 😀)
My wife is an Apple fangirl. :) She has the watch too!
I mean, it theoretically runs on hydrogen so it’s zero emission. Beats a dirt bike!
