Action requires some kind of physical influence on the world apart from the robot, and considering a robot is a kind of machine, I take this to mean some kind of motion.
If he wants to put forward his own definition of robot, we can see how it matches up to mine, but at the moment there is no discussion. He wants me to answer a question when he has different definition of "action"
I didn't know you were working with different definitions of "action" and "sensor" to me until you clarified it in those posts.
If you say that an action needs to involve movement, then that's fine, but I wish you'd told me sooner. Your previous definition of "action" made no mention of this. Still, this would mean that, for example, firing a laser does not constitute an action. That seems silly to me.
As for sensors,
and defines "sensor" as "recognizing preformatted signals generated by a computer inputted into a wire" while my working definition would be more like "a device which allows a computer to measure real world information".
No, that's not my definition of a sensor. My definition of a sensor is the same as most you would get upon Googling for one, e.g. (from Wiktionary) "A device or organ that detects certain external stimuli and responds in a distinctive manner."
If parts aren't moving physically on a board, the entire concept of robot is reduced to "any kind of electrical signal" which is quite reductive.
No, not just any electric signal.
I'm glad we've worked out the source of the disagreement, at least.
Also from Drugs, love, panic, heartbreak, immense victory...pretty much anything that increases the amount of dopamine in your skull or your heartrate.
Anyone who doesn't pronounce each letter one at a time is wrong. Do you pronounce AT-ST with two syllables? No you don't. Therefore, AT-AT is also four syllables.
Same morons who say sequel instead of SQL as three letters.
Wow, now you're getting really uppity. I say sequel, but I berate no one for saying S-Q-L. I think was spoken to me first, and thus it's the way that stuck.
Who the fuck has ever pronounced it any other way?
Kevin of Atomic Trivia War 9000. This has been an argument on the podcast on several occasions. I am always right, however. AY-TEE AY-TEE is the only way to go.

[Ay-Tee Ay-Tee] or [Et Et]?
It's pronounced AT-AT.
Everything else? GET THE FUCK OUT.
