Re:Gemini Robotics 2 brings whole body intelligence to robots

Unfortunately I can't go into too much depth but I've seen many first hand evaluations of these robots- I'm a robot technician with first hand experience working on these robots. There is an incredible amount of effort and money going into training on many different tasks, including a few you mentioned and many more. They're getting pretty good, but don't expect to see this generation of bots doing their thing in public for a while, if ever. Generally they're pretty safe but they're a long way from safe enough to be sold to individuals in a household environment. I expect to see an incredible amount of progress in the next couple years.

Microwave arrays seem like a pretty effective countermeasure to drones. Not for jamming, for frying the actual circuits. Look up the Epirus Leonidas.

Anonymous usernames. Grew up in the 90s so I have a pretty high level of paranoia about exposing my real identity on the internet. The alias I've kept the longest is my gamer identity tied to my steam account.

I'm on a pretty old version of pcsx2 but for Shadows of the Colossus I've had good luck enabling speedhacks, setting EE cyclerate to -1 and VU Cycle Stealing to 1. With these settings I'm getting a rock solid 60fps in the temple. Removing frame rate limit gets me between 100-120fps in game. This is with a old Ryzen 5 and an old R9 Fury.
