Is there a video where the CEO is riding the robot? Because the video that is embedded in the X post doesn't show that at all. He is taking a seat there but it's clear that there is a puppet sitting in it (with a helmet on) when it's moving.


The cage leaves a lot to be desired - imagine that thing falling on a fire hydrant. The helmet will not help you then. No thanks!


Sure, just saying because gagadet.com mentions in the article:

> Unitree CEO Wang Xingxing piloted the unit himself during the May 12 reveal on Weibo — a pointed way of demonstrating confidence in a 500kg machine.


I'm certain that if they would start doing that, without a proper strategy / workflow when it comes to QA, it will be GitHub reloaded. You'll be able to watch the decline in real-time.


But that’s the issue the parent is highlighting, you can’t just throw AI at these problems because the bottleneck is decision making, it always is, and AI is bad at that.

So nothing really changes in terms of product development velocity, it’s just headcount reduction.

But that’s not what their own marketing strategy communicates.


I think what OP means is that these companies keep promising AI is exceptional for one thing but for some reason it's never used for that. The only visible outcome of AI in these companies is that they spend so much on it they end up laying off employees.

Has any of the companies who went all in on AI gotten better at their job because they went all in on AI?


Exactly that. It's not an arbitrary dated threshold that lead to "growing up". It was the event of having kids. I'm still able to look at my current life through the lenses of a 25 year old me and hell, that looks bleak. But I can say with confidence that I'm content. Of course there are little things here and there but mostly everything is fine.

I only wonder if there is going to be a next stage, the magical "midlife crisis", where I'm going to question all my decisions up to that point and I'm curious how I'm going to handle that.


Good luck managing the whole day-2 operations and the application layer on top of your VPS. You're just shuffling around your spending. For you it's not on compute anymore but manpower to manage that mess.


VPC peering becomes ugly fast, once your network architecture becomes more complex. Because transitive peering doesn't work you're building a mesh of networks.


Can just use both, tgw by default and add peering where you have heavy traffic. Did this while managing 1k+ VPCs.

All of the above is only true if the quoted part is taken seriously and actually acted on.


Sure, I agree with you!


At a first look? No, or at least not well maintained Home Assistant integration.


+1 for all of the above.

> Meeting minutes - I have yet to see one that didn’t miss something important while creating a lot of junk that no one ever read.

Especially that one. In the beginning for very structured meetings with a low number of participants it seemed to be ok but once they got more crowded, maybe not all are native speakers and took longer than 30 minutes (like workshops) it went bad.


Not true. They can remove you from the company grounds and block access to all systems the moment you get fired or you hand in your resignation. But they have to pay you (if there is no "good reason" for firing you) for a varying amount of time (depending on your contract and some minimums by law).

Of course, most of the time, you can / need to stay at the company for that above mentioned varying amount of time.


Does anybody know something like Directus (building REST APIs on top of Postgres) with the ability to hook in custom authorization logic? (E.g. to do FGA checks before returning data)


You can certainly add whatever logic you want / need using custom hooks in Directus.

Here's the docs for custom hooks. https://directus.io/docs/guides/extensions/api-extensions/ho...

But honestly, depending on the complexity of your logic you may not even need custom hooks. You can get really granular with the built-in access policies and permissions.

As long as you have relationships configured with the user collection you can reference those in your permissions.

Here's an example rule for accessing items within a `projects` table that hides any projects that don't belong to the current agency partner.

{"_and":[{"partner":{"id":{"_eq":"$CURRENT_USER.agency_partner_id.id"}}}]}

Each project a many to one relationship to agency_partners. Each user has a many to one relationship to agency_partners.

You can even scope this down to allow / hide specific fields if you want.


I wrote my own extension in version 9 some time ago where I used hooks to track changes and sync our Full-Text Search engine (Meilisearch). I just remembered some of the difficulties dealing with hooks, because their payload differed in structure depending on how data entries were mutated (update via Web-UI VS creation via API VS import via API /utils/import). Has that improved?


Almost forgot - full disclosure - Bryant here from the Directus core team.


Pretty sure you can do this with hooks / flows in Directus.
