    Welding is coming along. Ever heard of Path Robotics? That's high-mix, high-complexity welds. (There are a lot of other, less-sophisticated welding robots out there.) The biggest m…

    I tried to build this back around 2020. I think my concept was trying to be too cute in several places. But this was the basic idea. I found that neither side of the market wanted …

    They are shutting down the product. I haven't received the sunsetting guide. What are people moving to instead?

    If medicare increases payouts then the payoff to this sort of behavior only increases.

    I've been mostly pleased with our use of python-polylith [1] with poetry in a production application. We output a webapp, python sdk, and CLI as separate "projects." It doesn't _re…

    Are there any comparisons of weather apps by area? For example, "for the San Francisco bay area, apple weather is most accurate on rain. But for NYC accuweather is better." I suppo…

    I wouldn't worry about automated ATS. Their use is way overstated on LinkedIn, by "resume experts," etc. I'm talking about whether a human can read the document comfortably.

    I would be careful with LaTeX. I use to have a LaTeX resume generated with LuaTeX. At an old company, I saw my LaTeX resume in the ATS long after I was hired. Apparently, something…

    I would have liked to see them focus on less well-known companies. It seems quite possible that the reference human responses (from exponent) were already present in the training d…

    It is definitely harder to grow this muscle when you are remote. Be biased towards hopping on a call/zoom rather than messaging on slack, etc.

    I would be interested to hear more about how much they were discussing their failures/challenges with others. It sounds like this might be a case of, "I finally talked to someone a…

    I would love to learn if TripleByte's data was sold off somewhere? I also had this concern (which was probably a bit overblown). One of the main scenarios I was concerned about was…

    You could check out ethical ads [1]. I have no first-hand experience with them as a publisher. But they are fairly unobtrusive on readthedocs [2] sites. [1] https://www.ethicalads.…

    Waymo's relatively rapid geonet expansion suggests that they have either improved their mapping productivity substantially or gone fully map-less. I can't speak to their RVA operat…

    Waymo is currently under investigation for multiple incidents, not all of which it had previously disclosed to the NHTSA [0]. The recent light pole incident also doesn't help [1]. …

    Yeah, I wonder if that is 425k _formatted_ lines of APL? I'm blanking: wasn't there someone who wrote their hedge fund's entire data processing pipeline in 4 lines of APL?

    That makes sense. Explainability would be a big issue/requirement with any attempted automated decision framework. I don't know if I would want my doctor to just order up tests bas…
