autotldr Bot , to technology in YouTubers can take training courses to remove warnings from their permanent record

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Starting today, those who receive a warning for violating the community guidelines will be able to take a training course designed to help them better understand how to steer clear of uploading videos that run afoul of YouTube’s regulations.

If they violate the policy for which they received the warning a second time in that roughly three-month window, YouTube will remove the video in question and slap the creator with a dreaded strike (which can jeopardize their chances of making a living from the platform).

YouTube started dishing out one-time warnings in 2019 for a first rule break, which it says offered “creators the chance to review what went wrong before facing more penalties” (i.e. strikes).

Nonetheless, YouTube says creators told the team “they want more resources to better understand how we draw our policy lines” and this new approach is geared toward that greater transparency.

“We ultimately want creators to have the clarity they need to stay strike free on our platform — while maintaining a healthy experience for YouTube’s entire community.”

Offering YouTubers a chance to learn and grow from their mistakes is a net positive even if some bad actors might try to abuse the system by deliberately uploading a few videos that cross the line each year.

At least they aligned with the “con” part of their name 🤪

Thought you meant “conservatives” there.

autotldr Bot , to technology in Foxconn's promise to invest $10 billion in Wisconsin is now a distant memory | It's now selling two mostly empty buildings in the state.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


When Foxconn announced its plans to open facilities in Wisconsin back in 2017, it promised to invest $10 billion into bringing production to the US that was expected to lead to as many as 13,000 jobs.

Now, the Taiwanese supplier to tech giants like Apple is selling two properties in Eau Claire and Green Bay, purchased for almost $12 million in 2018.

Meanwhile, the portion Foxconn owns in a mixed-use property in Eau Claire has reportedly remained empty for years.

In 2021, however, Foxconn massively altered the scale of the project and told the local government that it would be investing $672 million instead of $10 billion like it intended.

Foxconn didn’t comment on its Eau Claire property, but it told WPR that it “will add to the vibrancy of the city’s downtown.”

Green Bay Mayor Eric Genrich posted on X that he hopes a sale “will lead to better utilization of a fantastic waterfront building.”

DoomBot5 , to android in Google just made it a lot easier for people to begin automating their smart home

Are they finally starting to add features now, after they spent the last 2 years removing all of them?

I don’t get the point of most of the humanoid robots

I like how the researchers thought, “hmm, I wonder what will happen if I mix my used coffee grounds with this batch of cement over here.”

This is unironically how most discoveries are made… Silly human curiosity

As long as it’s written down. Otherwise, you’re just a lunatic

Maybe they dropped old coffee grounds on their fresh concrete sidewalk while getting the trash out.

I always have these kinds of thoughts when reading articles like this.

On a serious note , I am pretty sure they find this stuff at the molecule level then match it to the closest item.

This is an area where AI might actually be really useful in the future. If that’s not already the case.

Robert7301201 , to technology in Apptronik’s Apollo is the latest humanoid robot to beat Tesla to market | Engadget

There’s only two videos of it on the company website and they’re both rendered. Doesn’t really inspire confidence that their product is actually ready to market.

autotldr Bot , to technology in Apptronik’s Apollo is the latest humanoid robot to beat Tesla to market | Engadget

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Named Apollo, the machine is designed to “work in environments designed for, and directly alongside, humans.” The android is initially intended to move and carry cases and totes in logistics and manufacturing settings.

But the Austin-based Apptronik sees Apollo expanding into “construction, oil and gas, electronics production, retail, home delivery, elder care” and more.

Apollo follows Xiaomi’s reveal of the CyberOne robot last year, which looked remarkably similar to the still-unreleased Tesla Bot.

(Apptronik says it optimized efficiency by making its arms lighter than the weight they can lift.)

It uses swappable batteries — running up to four hours per pack — which should provide more flexibility than robots that require wall charging before springing back into action.

The company says it built “modularity into Apollo’s design, empowering users to decide whether Apollo is best used for their applications as a true bi-pedal walking humanoid, a torso that operates on wheels or one mounted in a stationary location.” The robot has digital panels on its face and chest to provide a “friendly, human-like countenance” to make workers feel comfortable working alongside it (as it potentially moves towards automating their jobs).

Anyone else annoyed that they use kilos for coffee, but tons for concrete, and then give percentage by volume?

I still kinda doubt that. It’s general label for me is Facebook for the modern era. It’s Facebook but built from the ground up to support following influencers and not family.

I wouldn’t mind trying out Threads…

If the sign up process wasn’t so difficult. It shouldn’t be a country club.

Can I also strengthen my coffee by adding a little concrete mix?

TropicalDingdong ,

For science, go for it!

The lime that concrete is made of is alkaline, so if you’re very careful a little bit may simply neutralise the acid. Neutralised… I think it’s just chalk? Don’t do this though, it wouldn’t take much to mess it up and do serious damage to your insides. Plus idk if it’s actually just chalk. Also if you wash your hands with vinegar after a day working with cement it gets rid of the horrible dried out feeling and feels nice & creamy, because it neutralises the base.

Selmafudd ,

This is funny because when I was a plumber after particularly dirty days I used to wash my hands with cement and I used to think that made my hands feel smooth

Excrubulent ,
@Excrubulent@slrpnk.net avatar

Makes sense if you were working with strong acids. Bleach or baking soda might’ve had a similar effect.

Selmafudd ,

Was domestic so plenty of urine from blocked drains I guess

Ah, I see what you mean now by “dirty”.

Time to go write a cozy mystery where the murderer is poisoning people with tiny amounts of concrete in the coffee.

Good luck getting most people to recycle or save their used coffee grounds

Just pay Starbucks to collect it.

I have like, buckets of it. Brb making concrete.

BradleyUffner , to technology in Scientists strengthen concrete by 30 percent with used coffee grounds

From a materials science perspective, a jump of 30% for a material that’s been well known for thousands of years seems unlikely.

MechanicalJester ,

Well, not really. They only mentioned compressive strength, so other important qualities and measures could be worse in unacceptable ways.

Or maybe it’s great. www.concretecentre.com/…/Charcoal-Concrete.aspx

scarabic ,

Two materials that have both been known for a long time.
