I assume the person making the dough is also prepping by chopping vegetables and meats, as well as babysitting the machine.
Zero people is impossible (since regardless someone has to load the machine), but reducing from 3 down to 2 or down to 1, that could be possible.
Exactly, the dough alone is a whole job. I found other robots online that pull dough balls directly from a fridge and press them out, so those seem like they would save time.
And those robots also put the pizza into the oven, remove it, and cut it.
if you’re doing all three of those steps, dough, toppings and cooking, that would save some time.
You do still need someone for prep, making the dough balls, cutting most ingredients, filling the various machines, etc. But those robots could be helpful at reducing labor costs. Could being the key word.
If these things break I don’t know how long they take to fix. Sure people “break” too, but they’re easier to swap in.
Kindell previously used Picnic’s robots at T-Mobile Park, home of the Seattle Mariners, a baseball team.
Usually, he’d need about 10 people to make pizza in such a setup. With the robots that number fell to just two.
So I’m not familiar with the T-Mobile Park setup and I don’t know which specific robot they used, but I found a video demo of the Picnic robot. There is no way that system reduces the number of employees from 10 to 2.
First off you don’t need 10 people to make a pizza. The robot does the “toppings” step, which is the easiest step. You know how I know it’s the easiest step? When you have kids pizza making parties guess which step the kids do? The toppings step.
If he had said it takes 3 people to make a pizza and the robot brings it down to 2, or that the robot speeds up production by 30% or so, that’s believable.
Also the pizza making machine is huge. You’re losing a whole prep area with that thing. If you’re only making pizza then maybe that’s ok, but most pizza places I’ve been too also make sandwiches or other things. A robot making things is a novelty so maybe if you plan a new restaurant with this specifically in mind you can justify the space, but I don’t see this fitting into an existing kitchen.
That same study also includes this figure,
But the study doesn’t measure other surfaces or things like “a nearby sink” or “a hand towel”. Perhaps for airborne particles they roam more freely, but what about surface particles? I feel like there is more to study.
So that’s a different problem, but yes.
This is a clear shutdown of an existing service.
That was a transfer gone wrong. It went especially wrong because the transfer doesn’t have a guarantee of data. Pokemon games have a weird obsession with data possibly being duplicate. Heaven forbid someone have duplicates of Pokemon.
Ad blocking is done client side in the browser, it’s impossible to hide.
You can obfuscate, but you can do that now.
Its not possible for them to not use Instagram for at least 1h when we meet up.
I don’t use Instagram, so what does using Instagram mean?
Do they browse Instagram, liking and commenting on things? It’s difficult to leave Instagram if the things they want to see don’t exist elsewhere.
Do they take pictures and share them with friends? Because that’s easier to move if the content moves.
So you’re not 100% incorrect, but does it happen in 2027? 2028?
Logistically it’ll probably happen eventually, but when?
So I can’t find a great answer, but as best I can tell StatCounter uses user agents to determine this data, the web browser being the most obvious source but not the only source.
The user agent for most web browsers on “macOS” the operating system generally report as “Mac OS X”. So other user agents, which report things like “Macintosh” but rarely actually “macOS”, are reported as “macOS”.
This also explains why “OS X” has a larger share than “macOS”. Web browsers on the macOS operating system are used more than “other”.
At first glance you’d think “OS X” and “macOS” should just be combined. But chances are if someone is using a web browser on macOS, they’re probably also using “other”.
Another problem is that we don’t know how StatCounter is handling duplicate/fake data. If I constantly hit refresh or send analytics from a single device, how is that counted? What if I send “OS X” and “macOS” data?
Luckily we also have the Cloudflare data, which shows Linux between 9% and 15%. So StatCounter using 10% is probably on the lower side, but within the margins.
I mean nowadays you carry a computer on your person constantly. Your hands are touching a computer, your eyes are looking at a computer.
Computer glasses are seen as the next step.
I’m not confident it actually is, but I understand the why it’s being tried.
is it all posturing
we still value our physical culture. Rather than completely abandoning that, we are currently challenging ourselves to shift towards being able to think about and act on the important aspects of digital in parallel.
Yeah. They are challenging themselves to think about the shift.
It Sony doesn’t make disks or the PSwhatever doesn’t have a disk drive… Not much to think about.
It’s a good message, but just a message.
I agree, but you can still browse new reddit without logging in, mostly. Also Google still lists Twitter which also requires a login, so they were never going deindex it anyway.
This multi-year collaboration is set to begin in 2027, starting with the first reveals of three 6" scale figures at San Diego Comic Con (July 23-26, 2026).
The Legend of Zelda film releases April 30, 2027, so I’m guessing this is related to that. The film looks like Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom style, plus those are the most recent games.
So the first three will likely be Link, Zelda & Ganondorf, in the BotW style.
I’m in the US, so they definitely have an Eshop and always have.
I’m sure it’s just different bundles over the lifetime of the system.
Oh interesting! So there must have been different bundles because my Wii U Mario Kart bundle came with a physical copy of the game and a special red Mario controller + plastic wheel.
But looking online I do see the digital only bundle existed.
My Switch 1 didn’t come with anything bundled and I brought a physical copy of Breath of the Wild.
But when I bought my Switch 2 I saw Mario Kart was digital and Legends ZA was digital, so I assumed this was a new change over starting with this generation.
It’s a special case, but the Switch 2 Mario Kart launch bundle came preloaded with Mario Kart World digital. All previous versions of Nintendo consoles with a bundle came with physical media.
But you could absolutely purchase a non bundle Switch 2 and a physical Mario Kart World (for $20 more).
And you’re right that so far every first party game has had both a physical release and a digital release.
Just to be fair, the Nintendo Switch 2 does support “Game Key Card” games. Such that you still must download the game and use the card to authenticate your game.
However there are zero first party* Nintendo games that are “Game Key Card” games. If you buy Mario or Zelda you do get the game on the card.
I do expect that will change in the future and follow the trend Sony is taking to be 100% digital. So you’re right to be concerned that they are heading in the same direction.in fact with Sony already heading that direction it’s even more certain.
*(Pokemon, which feels like a first party and Nintendo owns a large portion of, is technically third party.)
We don’t control the sheriff’s budget. We give him X number of dollars, he does with it what he wishes.
Ok then, I’d like to open discussion about the sheriff’s budget. Time to make some cuts.
So the options are Collins, who has a known track record of voting with MAGA, or Platner who has no record of voting with MAGA and has run a campaign that looks nothing like the policy of a MAGA candidate.
Could he completely turn around and vote MAGA? Sure. As could his primary opponent Janet Mills. Or any of the other tiny percentage of Democratic primary opponents.
But you know who will vote with MAGA 94.6% of the time? Susan Collins.
