My hand writing is so bad I don't know if a really want a font out of it lol (love the project though!)

It takes hundreds of millions to build a warehouse. Amazon has tons of them. Retrofitting things is capital intensive.

I blame the transit agency for those missteps though - it doesn't have to be like that. Take for example CUMTD (mtd.org), the transit agency serving Champaign-Urbana, a college tow…

Honestly I don't think Anthropic cares about you moving over to them - it's pretty evident that they already have more demand than they can handle. I've always had better experienc…

1X is different. This is purely a hardware demo, they are doing pure teleop on the software side, no AI in the demo (except maybe RL for walking). 1X's bit thing was always their m…

It's teleop, they are pretty open about it. It's not autonomous. They do have an RL controller running for the legs, but it's just an intermediate controller and it probably get hi…

When Valve came out with their VR headset that had base stations, everybody thought that’d be the holy grail, that you can never achieve better localization and tracking without ba…

Vanilla vscode has some version of this in the debugging mode, you'd perhaps need to install their Python extensions but that's about it.

Yes! Rerun can definitely make your life a lot easier! Rerun natively supports the server and the viewer being on different devices ( https://rerun.io/docs/reference/sdk/operating-…

I am not the hiring manager, and unfortunately a lot of interviews and hiring decisions happen at org level or at my manager level. These are mostly sophomores/juniors - folks who …

I am a robotics engineer/scientist and I do shit ton of visualization of all kind of high-fidelity/high-rate data, often in a streaming setting - time series at a few thousand Hz, …

I agree that they weren't explicitly meant to represent geography, but implicitly they do, right? Are there cases where this is violated? In other words, is it safe to assume that …

Route 4 (the helicopter route along the river) has a maximum altitude of 200 feet for helicopter. From the crash it seemed like the helicopter pilot wasn't strictly following the c…

Unfortunately it's not gonna happen. The traffic at DCA only keeps going up, and I've heard chatter that it's because a lot of congressman and senators prefer taking flights from D…

Thank you! I’ll talk to the startup that’s hiring me soon to set up a consult with you through formal channels. Appreciate the responses here!

There’s a cap on how many EB1 green cards they give out per year, and there’s also a per country cap within that cap (no country cannot cross 7% of total cap) Unfortunately, there …

Thank you so much for the response! Could you share a bit more on what the preparation looks like? It’s something I’ve seen vaguely mentioned in forums but no one shared the specif…

Hey Peter! Thanks for doing this! I’m trying to understand the dual intent nature of O1A. I’m a PhD student with EB2-NIW and EB1A approved. Unfortunately, I am not expecting a gree…

Given how widespread PyPI usage is, I'm surprised they only have one full time security staff. I mean I guess it makes sense, usage doesn't always mean they get more donations/mone…

As someone with admittedly no formal CS education, I've been using conda for all of my grad school and never managed to break it. I create a virtual environment for every project. …

Someone I know got it recently. If you're getting with the API and all the sensors it was close to 60k including customs and all of that.

My theory as to why all the bigtech companies are investing so much money in video generation models is simple: they are trying to eliminate the threat of influencers/content creat…

There isn't a significant upside either. At the end of the day, buring cable throughout it's way is very expensive while damaging it at one spot, even if it's buried, is not that h…

What makes you say TPU has zero chance against growing NVIDIA? If anything, now is the best time for TPU to grow and I'd say investing in TPU gave Google an edge. There is no other…
