Researchers trained a humanoid robot to play tennis using only 5 hours of motion capture data

The robot can now sustain multi-shot rallies with human players, hitting balls traveling >15 m/s with a ~90% success rate

AlphaGo for every sport is coming

Just finished up my first day at CrowdStrike. Got to push a quick fix to prod before logging off for the day. Looking forward to a long weekend!

Here is the fix put out by #Crowdstrike to resolve the global IT outage, if you’re a customer.

Watched a new BMW refuse to give way to a left-hand drive lorry in a lane merge and lose out as the lorry slowly peeled the front off the iX. Top tip: You only stand a chance of winning in the game of "Chicken" if the other person knows you're there. #stayoutoflorriesblindspots

Is there a reliable "down detector" for broadband? No internet since Friday from @VodafoneUK who blames the local @WeAreOpenreach cabinet. Vodafone with my postcode cheerily state "No known broadband issues in your area". If you aren't accurate, don't bother with the tool.

@KuangEleven Show's how much of a geek I am, in the original, when the black lambo rejoins the highway after hiding, there was a bit of a clunky gearchange which is now missing. I heard the rumour it's a Ferrari Boxer, but it was defintely a Lambo V12, now, maybe a Prius?😢

Car geek question - watching Cannonball Run on Amazon Prime and the fabulous Black Lamborghini Countach engine noise sounds wrong, have they redubbed it?

@hjwakerley @PistonHeads I find 'Alcantara' gives some interesting result

@tomwookieford I suspect this is what happens when the exterior and engineering team eat 95% of the budget and someone "asks what about the interior?"
