At the end of the day, it's the section 230 that should really be re-evalutated right? Google and Facebook can promote lies all day long along side reputable journalism, and then deny all legal liability, because it isn't them say

Well, that doesn't really work. There is only so much electrical efficiency you can crank out of these motor. Essentially, there is a relationship between the current you pump through them, which is limited by their thermal characteris

But motor and motion control isn't exactly so mysterious that we need AI for it. Inductance in electric motors can have some odd effects in the acceleration domain, but it generally boils down to a second to third order differential fo

I'm not super familiar, but they say in the webpage that it is specifically for Universal Scene Description, which is formally for graphics. Although, after a quick google, it looks like they do have a simulation package which then run

Making and animating a 3D graphics robot arm is trivial compared to building it in real life. So not so much Omniverse, you would want to use a proper simulator like gazebo. But beyond that, the kinematics as well as the force dynamics for

I wouldn't really consider port knocking to be that effective of a way to block connections. It is really only obscure, but port knocking software is very accessible. So if you know a port needs to be knocked, it's not hard for an

Yeah, especially after a few years. Perhaps there is a way to get it to charge and discharge reccurringly, but that would probably take some extra hardware.

If someone made a UPC in the form factor of a laptop battery, we could be off to the races. I thought a laptop battery would be good for this, but they do bad things if you leave them plugged in all the time. No reason to go crazy with your

Well, yes and no. PID is very simple to integrate in a state loop, so it is simple to implement, and gives the illusion of imperfect tracking very quickly. So I imagine this implementation worked rather well. Because the imperfectness isn&#

Especially in a video game context, where you can always go in and change how the system works. A really good way to tell is to consider the relationship between your input and output. PID get's thrown around all the time because a lot

Right now it is managed using blender, and then I back it up and version it manually, which is pretty common for blender workflows. I am planning an overhaul in a bit. I looked into sun, but would probably rather use git lfs honestly. There

But it has nothing to do with AI, it was an investment in optimized hard for floating point calculations for completely unrelated applications to AI. Not that they don't deserve it. It's great hardware. But it would be a shame for

Yeah, I agree 100%. The only corollary is that I view a lot of settlements like this as much more protectionist. I thought that this was for a gov. bid and not an insurance conglomerate, but the principle is the same. DXC lost the bid, prob

I think we should stop framing this as ethics. TCS tried to get the best outcome for their client. CSC decided the client should suffer because they didn't win the re-compete. That's basically retaliation. Also a Texas Jury decidi
