Doesn’t matter, though. It’s a one time cost, and as long as the maintenance cost per hour worked is less than that of a human, the robot wins eventually.

yeah like, still way way more than that though

It’s irrelevant, but I think you may be over estimating the cost of those robots. They don’t really have to do much. It looks like they actually track to a grid of marks on the floor, you can make a robot do that for almost nothing, you can get $10 kits to do that. It doesn’t have to be all that intelligent, it’s not like each robot is thinking, there’s going to be a central controller tracking position and figuring out routing and then managing the robots through that, so each robot just needs to be able to get from one grid point to the very next, and needs to be able to dump a package off. Instead of a bunch of robots, think of it more as one giant robot and what you see there are just its appendages. That’s a pretty cheap set of specs.

If each robot were a one-off, that’d increase the cost a lot, but they’re obviously manufactured at scale.

The only thing adding to the cost is that they maybe need to be a bit more robust? But probably not terribly so, each robot is perfectly replaceable and the environment is nicely controlled.

So nah, they probably don’t cost all that much at all, especially not to a huge company like alibaba.

e: Based on some quick googling, an alibaba warehouse handled by robots got a 300% increase in output with a 70% reduction in human labor. Alibaba reportedly gets 12.7 BILLION orders a year. Who fuckin’ cares what each bot costs.

So is the frame rate they're recording at the same as the rate the water is flowing out or something? Like when helicopter blades look like they're not spinning?

Nah, it’s just a really stable flow. Laminar flow or something. Very non turbulent.

I pronounce Gmail as "guh-mail" because it's short for Google Mail and Google has a hard-g.

People say "but even Google pronounces it with a soft-g, and they invented it" but we all know to ignore the wishes of the word's creator.

But they don't pronounce it with a soft G? They name the letter, what you're proposing would be equivalent to "Gee-if" which, sure, okay, why not
