He mentions in the video that he saw the idea in "a math exchange post" and he also has a link to the exact post in the video description. Doesn't that count?

I only have experience working in the robotics field as it exists today, so you're right that I am probably unaware of how things are done in the software world. (I mean I read HN …

I work in robotics, I understand that every robotics company builds substantially similar core autonomy for different industrial vehicles, so I definitely see the value of what you…

not totally clear if this is the point you’re trying to make, but the US today fits that description exactly > killing/imprisoning a lot of your own population the US has the highe…

Your link says Autopilot, not FSD. Autopilot is highway autonomy, which is vastly easier and you can rack up many more miles very quickly. This is not at all a relevant comparison.…

How is this a moat for BlockFi? Why can't a competitor do exactly the same thing as BlockFi without paying the $100M fine? Asking this question earnestly because I actually want to…

where's Plowy McPlowface? See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boaty_McBoatface and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Mcface_spoofs

This is a civil case. Juries are only for criminal cases.

Bloomberg's Matt Levine has an interesting take: > Here’s another thing about being a private company. What if this had worked? What if Goldman hadn’t noticed anything unusual and …

GDPR is about privacy and security, not interoperability. It was (and still is) a very controversial set of regulations, so shoehorning in more requirements would have made it even…

Energy is not Watts per hour (Watts/hour), it's Watts times hours (Watt-hours). Sorry for pedantry, but the units are the topic of discussion here.

Just because it's being sold today doesn't mean it's actively manufactured still. They could have stockpiled the older processors or have spare inventory to continue meeting demand…

Yep, I've been a helper for 2 years now and I've only received 2 calls

ASICs only make sense if you have high volume. PCI-e takes a lot of resources/space. The sweet spot for FPGA-CPU hybrid chips are embedded devices that are latency sensitive. For e…

Pfizer's covid vaccine is supposed to be stored and transported at -70˚C, but some batches ended up at -92˚C. -92˚F is quite close to -70˚C so this smells a lot like an error due t…

> Pfizer is bascially responsible for the oxycontin epidemic. Their reps bribe doctors into pushing their drugs. That was Purdue Pharma, not Pfizer.

I agree, a typeface for numerical use should pay attention to that! I like the typeface used in new versions of JetBrains IDEs like Pycharm. There's special attention paid to disam…

There is a little 'x' button in the top right of that sign in wall modal

Yes! I posted in the threads on Jan 1 and Feb 1 of this year. I was contacted by a cumulative total of 14 companies, of which 2 were actually interesting to me. I'm a mechanical en…
