here is a quote from the abstract they submitted for the competition: “In a wide variety of settings, awareness of a robot’s presence can negatively impact its effectiveness or the validity of the data it collects. Robots deployed for inspection, environmental monitoring, or human–robot interaction may distract, disturb, or otherwise alter the behavior of nearby humans, animals, or other systems simply through their sensed presence. These effects can bias observations, reduce task performance, and limit deployment in sensitive environments. Minimizing the influence of a robot on its surroundings enables closer ob- servation of natural behavior, more reliable interaction, and broader applicability of robotic systems in real-world settings.”

after reviewing the wikipedia, it seems that there’s usually a special election held - not just an appointment made.

So avowed zionist Milei becomes pres, then the courts accuse an Iranian of the attack 30 years after it happens. Great work.

why hate on experts with advanced degrees?

Check out Thomas Piketty’s ‘Capital in the 21st Century’. Relevant part is that wealth distribution was at its most equitable from ~1945 to 1980, after which nearly all new wealth generated from increased production (i.e. computing/internet/tech/etc) was captured by the top 10% of earners, and within that 10% it’s crazy skewed towards the 0.000001%.
