07:05 AM mrdata: How many robots does it take to run a grocery store?
07:05 AM mrdata: -- Tom Scott
09:14 AM rue_mohr: none, covid made grocery stores obsolete
09:14 AM rue_mohr: :)
09:15 AM rue_mohr: heh, I wonder how many times that while thing messes up
09:16 AM rue_mohr: as employees turn over, it will be digressed back to manual labor
12:26 PM mrdata: see the video
12:27 PM mrdata: the title is misleading; this is not a place where you would go shopping
12:27 PM mrdata: it's an online order fulfillment centre
04:12 PM Tom_itx is now known as Tom_L
04:33 PM mrdata: Steffanx, complain to Tom Scott about that
04:35 PM mrdata: the robotics in the video is impressive tho
04:40 PM Tom_L: a box on rollerskates?
04:42 PM mrdata: that only describes the simple parts
04:44 PM Tom_L: the rest is just sand and bit and bytes :)
04:49 PM Tom_L: and why do they need overhead lights?
04:59 PM mrdata: so the troubleshooters can see the dead bots?
05:00 PM mrdata: idk
05:00 PM Tom_L: let another bot push it in
05:00 PM Tom_L: it is impressive i agree but if you break it down it's simple
05:00 PM mrdata: okay go fix it for them
05:01 PM Tom_L: don't hit anything and get this to there efficiently
09:45 PM rue_bed: the jobs are fixing the bots
09:46 PM rue_bed: they will abuse the employeees who like doing it
09:46 PM rue_bed: and they will leave, widdling it down to a job of people who dont know what their doing
09:46 PM rue_bed: so they will start simplifying things with the repairs
09:46 PM rue_bed: till its just all done by hand
09:47 PM rue_bed: I'm sure already they do a bad job of actually being a grocery store
09:47 PM rue_bed: I'd like to see how digikey is doing it
09:47 PM rue_bed: most of the stuff they sell isn't organic
10:38 PM mrdata: dont drop my apples on sharp corners, please
