French firefighters do this when arriving at a scene. The first messages sent over the radio will say: - I am... (who you are and where you are) - I see... (describe what you see in simple non-ambiguous terms) - I do... (what action you are

In the demo video, for every basic task it needs some setup by a human (see how they fixed stuff on the stretchable arm for every action other than picking-up something) and all the interesting tasks were teleoperated. I don't care abo

Looks like the journalist is trying to convince us that Google is in fact a company created by the CIA. It's amazing that the CIA had already predicted that Google would beat Yahoo!, Lycos, Altavista, and Ask.com in 1995.

Well, why do banks don't port all their code to recent and efficient languages? Pretty much the same here. All the code currently in use is written in English and it will take decades to completely transit from English to French comput
