If anyone doubts this. Recent (<100y) leaders of China and Russia internally displaced and caused the death of large % of their population, for essentially fanciful ideological reasons.

A counter argument is that nuclear arms brought unprecedented worldwide peace. If it's to be used as an analogy for AI, we should consider that the outcome isn't clear cut and lies in the eye of the beholder.

When China becomes your only supplier for something, they do stuff like "cut off DEF fluid shipments to Korea because they made us mad" -> https://www.kedglobal.com/supply-chain/newsView/ked202111040..

We're way past that. Global warming requires (or will, soon enough) heat pumps for survival in many regions of the world. Plenty of regions require large amount of electricity for life critical functions. Degrowth isn't the answer

On the contrary, I expect most tech companies to not be profitable especially in ZIRP era, unless they're big and public for many years (or small boutiques). If one is looking to work only at profitable companies, the pool of employer

That's the incorrect belief that causes so many people to hold their RSUs. The day you vest the RSU is the day someone decided to: (1) give you the amount in cash (as regular income) (2) take that cash and buy that stock on yo

It's weird to me because I haven't had a single person ask me Leetcode questions, and I never opened Leetcode once in my life. And yet I interviewed plenty and got job offers aplenty. Who asks these questions? I'm I somehow s

Pro free for now, or Pro is free abandonware. Both cases discourage adoption. Open-source would help if there's any desire to keep it alive, otherwise this is a nice gesture but I would read this as a signal that I should stick away fr

I think I misread the previous comment as a snarky jab. My bad!

I mean no? The point is to share our craft and learn from each other's best techniques? The wowing part is irrelevant.

What sort of agricultural PV-to-always-on-e-motor object would require 1MW continuously? That's a lot of power for agriculture purposes.

Great demo. I've grown to do all of these things instinctively, but quite often I pair with folks who get surprised with all I can do with multi-cursors and asking me how I do this. I don't have a great answer because I just kind

The problem isn't detecting small objects, it's that at this scale, there's a ton of noise. Distinguishing between noise, foliage, birds, and a tiny FPV drone, is really finding a needle in a haystack. Radar systems have been

I wouldn't be surprised if the drones they can detect are the larger fixed wings long range ones and not the FPV types. FPV drones, aside from EW and directed energy weapons, don't have any counter at the tactical scale (although

Not really because the power rating at which they start to make sense is in the multiple hundreds of kW. Cars don't need that much average continuous power while driving, on the order of 15-30kW depending on speed and grade. So a &quot

They're efficient at higher power levels but really not at small-power-generator level. An 8kw jet powered generator I saw recently used 0.5kw-hr per kg, which is 5x more than an equivalent one based on a traditional diesel engine. The

Local ferries are speed sensitive, and unless ultra light and with hydrofoils, drag from speed will kill the feasibility of battery electric high speed ferrying. If done anyways, you'd need almost MW scale charging infrastructure to ma

Free compute attracts bitcoin miners. Payment methods are a sort of proof that the user is less likely to be abusive, or at least it's much easier to deduplicate accounts by preventing reuse of payment methods across free accounts. In

On the plus side, people make up the organization and when they eventually grow fed up with the dystopia, they leave with their acquired knowledge and make their own thing. So dystopias aren't stable in the long term.

I docked in reverse multiple times, same as parking a car in reverse. Just need water flowing along the rudder (from motion, not prop wash), but otherwise it's a great way to turn into tight spaces. Gotta be careful about prop walk, wh

For SoC many ebike BMS just use voltage curve to give a rough approximation. But with LFP you need a shunt and a coulomb counter, because the voltage curve is essentially flat until the very last Wh.

I agree that it's fun and can often be safe if built correctly for the right application. But I think UAVs don't experience the same beating and vibrations that ebike batteries do, which I think is what the bigger problem is with

You may think so, and I encourage you to watch the video I shared. I held many of the same conclusions/approximations until learning of Grin's experience.

Yeah but the margins may go down, and a lot more players may enter the market.

Matrix multiplication is just an effective representation for the dense graph structures. The same graphs could be implemented in other ways (adjacency list, edge list), perform the same overall logic, without doing vector/matrix/
