Yes! This would be fantastic, I'd love to see this happen. If anyone is working on this, and is looking to hire a computational organic chemist-turned-ai engineer, let me know!

> 4) ... When you can build tunnels for one or two orders of magnitude cheaper than today, cheaper than an urban surface lane ... Didn’t Las Vegas 1.5 mi tunnel cost ~$50MM ? I don’t think 1.5mi of surface road (not considering right-of-way costs) costs that much.
Roads cost a ridiculous amount of money. They start at a million per mile and go up from there. Think about how many miles of road their are just in your neighborhood. The people who complain about how much of our cities are paved have a substantial point.

Fiducials don’t need to be ON the road. They can be on signage or whatever. But fiducials are cheap. Just paint. (And you can, in fact, draw them by hand using a ruler, a square, and patience.) They are error-detecting and error-correcting digital signage that gives you precision 6dof orientation “for free.” (And you can do even better... can stick a bunch of them all over a deformable object to map back the shape an…
Are there such fiducials+libraries available today?
Also anything that is multipurpose. Rope + tarp = shelter, sunshade, awning, hammock, sail, etc. One gadget cooks and chops etc.
Oh and household robots. Already have vacuum mopping and pool robot. Considering a lawn robot. Clothes folding can’t be far off right?
Siri is underrated in my circles, I hardly see anyone use it. Social anxiety of yelling at your phone?

But this LV tunnel is one-lane, so it should be compared to one-lane surface road, which is, like you said, is ~$1MM a mile.
1) Fiducials. This makes it so incredibly easy to map the physical world to the digital world, and vice versa. I guess it’s not under the radar, but it just feels like such a superpower. Sub pixel accurate 6dof tracking & unique identification for anything you want. It’s like a cheat code for computer vision as it makes the whole problem trivial. I half expect fiducials on all public streets within 10 years. On every…

PM lead for PowerShell here, thanks for the callout! I'll take "isn't the worst". ;) I'd love to get more of your thoughts around how PowerShell might be more useful for the kinds of scenarios you're thinking about. We see a lot of folks writing portable CI/CD build/test/deploy scripts for cross-platform apps (or to support cross-platform development), but we're always looking to lower the barrier of entry to get int…
> we're always looking to lower the barrier of entry to get into PowerShell I’ve used powershell regularly since way back when (it was still called monad when I first tied it). I’m extremely comfortable in the Windows environment but even yesterday I found it easiest to shell out to cmd.exe to pipe the output of git fast-export to stop powershell from messing with stdout (line feeds) I really like the idea of a pipel…
