I have two Airthings View Plus and I am very happy with them. I have them set up in Home Assistant to turn some fans on and off based on air quality.

Just purchased the "Early bird tier" to give it a try. I just get a "500 Server Error" when clicking the "View Content" link in gumroad.

That is not quite the whole story. They are making it available for anyone in Oslo, at least. [1] I live in Oslo and have an appointment to get a booster tomorrow. I have multiple …

I have had a love-hate relationship with YouTube for a long time. On the one hand, many channels put out great content that I want to watch. But the recommended videos feature is e…

The problem with quaternions for optimizations is that they are over-constrained. Meaning the norm of the 4 values must sum to 1 for it to be a valid 3D rotation. So you need to et…

Lie theory is, among other things, a very elegant way to parameterize an energy function involving rotations in 3D space. For example the translation and rotation of multiple camer…

Probably Lie Theory, or at least the small subset of it that is relevant for robotics. It has taken me a long time and a lot of work to understand it to the level I have, and I sti…

https://github.com/matiasvc/Toucan A Computer Vision and Robotics visualization library. It is way to hard and complex to do 2D and 3D visualization in C++. Toucan is my attempt to…

https://github.com/matiasvc/Toucan I work in robotics and have for a long time been frustrated with how hard it is to visualize data in C++. I created Toucan to try to solve that. …

When you say “remote possible”, are you open to Europe based candidates or only US based?

I work with nano-UAVs. I am very skeptical that the 40 minute flight time is even close to being real. Especially with a quadcopter design. They are way to inefficient.

One of the C++ project that have influence my programming the most recently, which is to move to a style that is something between C and C++, is Dear ImGUI: https://github.com/ocor…

The cloud sync is optional. You could use the SSH access you get when connecting to it over USB, and possibly roll your own backup solution.

The experience is very close. Much more so than with an iPad and Apple Pencil. I guess what I love about it is that in many ways combines the best of both physical and digital writ…

I can attests to this. I quickly forget that I am not writing on a real piece of paper when using it. It feels very natural.

I recently got a reMarkable 2 tablet( https://remarkable.com/store/remarkable-2 ), and I am absolutely loving it. I have for along time carried around notebooks for note taking and…

I use an app called Arc for this: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/arc-app-location-activity/id10... I am pretty happy with it, so i can recommend giving it a try.

I recently got spam that looked very similar, through a shared iPhoto album invitation. Seems some spammer have gotten quite inventive recently.

I think you misunderstood a bit. The circular symbol is not correlated to the landing sites in any way. It's just a example of the alien's writing system, which large parts of the …

Hey Dhruv, thanks for answering questions. In what degree is the material tailored for cars vs other forms of autonomous vehicles? Would you say the knowledge transferable to, for …

I have been using MacDown for a while now, which again was a replacement for Mou. But this looks even better.

I am still just a undergrad student, but i am hoping for a career in robotics research or R&D. I am however one of the founders of my university aerial robotics team, we are planni…

The reason a lot of Norwegian doctors cling to their DOS interfaces is not because of age, or a resistance to upgrade. I have discussed the topic of medical software with my father…
