I remember reading an internet post where the place he was talking at forced him to do a q&a in the middle of the speech, so he supposedly went "ok, then I will ask the first question. Mister Zizek, what were you saying?" and just continued lmfao

sitting at the merch table signing books after the lecture is just boomer "wow this blew up, check out my soundcloud"

zizek is a really funny and interesting guy. the world could use more academics / intellectuals who don't seem to think it's their duty to make their fields as boring as possible

it is admittedly not that fun to listen to podcast interviews with him and just hear him gargling his snot right in your ear buds

quote:

COMAN (COmpliant huMANoid) (2013) by the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT). Despite it’s name, COMAN has the stature of a small child, just 94.5 cm tall from neck to foot, and weighing just 31.2 kg. It has 25 degrees of freedom in total, but fourteen of these are compliant joints based on series elastic actuators. One advantage of these in walking is that they naturally absorb the ground reaction forces of each footstep. The gorgeous design of COMAN, which wouldn’t look out of place standing next to a classic Italian Lambretta or Vespa scooter, is by British designer/engineer Stephen Morfey.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

jit is fine, but you cant cancel your jit contracts like the auto makers did and expect it to immediately be there when you need it again.

meanwhile toyota had no problems because they monitor their suppliers’ suppliers’ suppliers’ constraints and figured out this poo poo and while other automaker’s mbas were too cheap and stupid to fund this kind of monitoring and were trying to gently caress with their equally stupid suppliers

also, i mean, "jit" does not *necessarily* mean "make sure every single thing is done in a separate company, ideally in another country by slave labor" (though you wouldn't know that from looking at most companies). toyota were the big innovators in jit, but it was to make a fairly vertically integrated and japan-focused company efficient rather than a business structure thing. meaning they still have a lot of control of their supply even though there aren't necessarily piles of things on shelves everywhere.

jit means holding almost no inventory (inventory is wasted money). that means that if your supply chain is bulletproof you’ll make more money. evidently Toyota is the only company on the planet that actually implemented the Toyota system well enough to keep everything moving

what kind of route are they on?

because we can do limited access roads and low-speed in dedicated lanes with clear signage and markings on fixed routes that have no surprises.

what we can't do is generalized driving in other environments i.e. driving anywhere that isn't all but on rails
