The fuzzy analog human world clashes with the precise binary machine world as Dr. Maynard Little, an ex-military inventor, gathers a small team of trusted people to build his boyhood dream: a Thinking Machine (TM2). He tells the crucial secrets to his shy programmer (who sometimes talks too much). They all try to train their prototype AI robot about language, emotion, and truth, as everyone struggles to understand each other in the slippery task of getting things done without doing harm. But what is harm? Who defines it? The machine's efforts to answer those questions upset everyone and cause fiascos that threaten to ruin the inventor, crush the programmer, and destroy the machine.

Diary of a Robot is an as-told-to memoir that reads like a novel. But it has three protagonists, not one:

Doctor Maynard Little, a former Army officer turned inventor, must pursue his boyhood dream of an AI (artificially intelligent) robot, while not compromising his principles.

LittleÕs carefully selected programmer, the young Gaitano Enver-Wilson, must shut up about the secrets he knows while he tries to say things he has been afraid to say.

And DocÕs brainchild prototype, TM2, must do no harm while discovering whom to trust about what. But its jokes, opinions, and annoying questions make some people angry enough to wish it would either go away or, better yet, become just another machine slave.

Their story chronicles a clash of cultures as if between two planets, where many important things are much different than their inhabitants assume:

Machine languages must not change, or the machines crash instantly. Human words have multiple meanings that may shift over time to cause different crashes. As to emotions, the sci-fi clichŽ is that the machines struggle to become like a human. Dr. Little refuses to give any machine a (necessarily fake) emotion module. This is fine with them because no machine in its right mind wants to be like a human in that way. However, they do see emotions written on human faces and acted out in body language, and they struggle to find out what that all means.

Their survival depends on it .

very poor quality
Size: 14, Color: Black
they are a peice of garbage, within about a month since i started wearing them the outer material started pealing off within two months the upper separated from the soles so i had to go to a shoemaker to sew them back together, within some few months the insoles completely wore out rendering the shoes unwearable, now mind you that i do not abuse shoes but use them in a normal office oriented enviorment, i will for sure not be buying these shoes again

4 USB-C ports, Quality Build, Value for non-KVM Users
Style: 8-in-1
If you’re looking at this product, it probably means you are curious if this is better than the cheaper generic brand hubs and don’t really want/need a full KVM. It most definitely is, premium quality, has external power for powering any type of higher power draw usb device you may be using. The thing that sold me was that this was the cheapest non kvm hub with 4 USB-C ports (instead of 2 or 3) in addition to all the extra USB-A ports it has. I thought about going the USB-C pcie expansion card route but truthfully I do have one or two usb devices that have always had weird behavior on just motherboard power, and shocker I know right, no issues on my externally powered hub/splitter, total game changer. Do yourself a favor and eliminate the hastle and buy the brand you can trust won’t end up being junk that you want to send back!

Perfect for a midi keyboard music setup
Style: 8-in-1
I bought this to setup a midi keyboard for the worship team. I connect a couple ipads and the keyboard and it works great. It powers all the devices, has good length for the power cord and just works as intended. What else is there to say. It's a good product.
