Mostly the stories about them are people attacking the robots. But they keep raising money thanks to Jim Cramer.

That is some amazing handling of an aircraft that wants to violently hurl itself at the ground every second it's flying.

Lord Stimperor posted:In regards to captains calling their crew pussies, here's a helicopter doing something good with toxic pilot masculinity: I think this is the standard way for helicopters to deliver people to and from steep slopes. Google "helicopter toe in", or don't if helicopters make you nervous. That particular slope is on the steeper side of what is usually done though. I'm told the trickiest part is not the actual landing, but that the pilot needs to immediately compensate for weight and balance changes as people hop in and out and move gear in and out, and there isn't much room for error. edit: Though obviously if walking up to that spot from somewhere flatter is at all possible then that is preferable. withak fucked around with this message at 17:42 on Dec 26, 2020 |

Thing did not look useful at all, just weird. Sadly, I don't remember anything we discussed because of how uninteresting it was. They aren't useful. They basically picked up three customers in two years. They mostly stay afloat by fundraising like a motherfucker with the most sketchy pitches you can imagine. They have some competitors whose stuff is slightly more useful but still less useful than a security guard. Which means they aren't clearing a pretty low bar. The new "hotness" for autonomous robots for security seem to be modified DJI drones. They are slightly more impressive in terms of not committing suicide in pools but that's it.

No, they aren't. A few years ago one of those conehead security droids ran over a toddler at the Stanford shopping center.

It may not be a "public setting" but officially the first casualty of the robot wars was a guy killed by an industrial robot at a Ford plant in 1979

That was the first person killed by a robot yes but a Ford plant isn't a public setting. Here's the article about the toddler at the shopping center https://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-crimefighting-robot-hurts-child-bay-area-20160713-snap-story.html

Why would anyone voluntarily go to watch that? "Want to see a guy skydive into a net with no parachute?" gently caress no, if he's off by 10 feet he splats into the ground.

So he decelerates from terminal velocity to nothing in the space of roughly a second. Given what we know about sub-concussive impacts, that doesn't seem super healthy.

Memento posted:So he decelerates from terminal velocity to nothing in the space of roughly a second. Given what we know about sub-concussive impacts, that doesn't seem super healthy. A human skydiver in freefall apparently goes about 120mph or 53m/s. If he genuinely came to a complete stop in 1 second, that's about 5.5g -- equal to what a parachutist normally experiences as their chute opens. I suspect he actually took longer than that to decelerate so the g-load is even lower. There won't be any health effects from that level of acceleration. Aerobatic pilots pull 6g all day long and even some roller coasters exceed that value. For comparison, concussions begin to occur when the head experiences 50-70g, and people have survived over 150g in automobile crashes.

If he misses, well, I don't think I've seen a human being liquify before and how often does such a chance come around?

Jumping out of a plane with a perfectly set up parachute and backup is enough of a butt clencher as it is.
