I agree that it should be verified, but given that it was published on Nature gives hope that it will be reproducible.

It’s faster than riding on rabbit I guess.

I would assume it is not, UE has some strict rules about fair competition, but the problem is to prove that in the court. Newag is arguing that the hacked and reverse engineered code is not the code they have. Probably in the meantime they run the cleaning protocol in the company…
But company’s public image will hopefully suffer from the story, maybe at least they loose in eyes of potential buyers.

There is an LG factory in my city and had some friends that work there. One of them was working in an assembly building as a robotic specialist. The stories he told me about Koreans were wild. They don’t look at OSHA whatsoever. Poeple running on sealing catwalk without any safety. Clearing gigantic furnace without information about doing so (other employee turned on the furnace…). Working on a live electric devices, hundreds of volts. You name it. After those stories I am not surprised when I see headline like this.

My god, what is this 100 image…
