We do. It can take months and months of interviews to find them though. Which might be why.

Meta etc pay less in UK but not much less. Still a lot by any measure.

Nothing especially unusual I think. Mostly use it for fixtures (for woodwork, DIY), improving/fixing random things and bike mods. Currently designing a derailleur for a folding bike. Reason why I've optimised it to print fast is t

I directly print STEP files. Faster, quieter and better finish than STL for curved surfaces. I print at fairly high speeds (300-400mm/s, >20k accels, 25 SCV on quality) so this might not be a universal consideration but for me it&#x

Great stuff, but working with STLs isn't a good option for me. Doing this in STEP would be amazing. But I suppose I could use STL to guide me on orientations I can then set up manually with my STEP files?

Although true, you can optimise this considerably by using materials with very strong layer adhesion like PET (which I've never had break along layer lines) or by annealing or even remelting. So for me at least who prints entirely in P

An incredible achievement and in to my eyes a thing of beauty. This is not the first time I've seen computational geometry (played with it myself) but this output seems something else.

Ironically (with respect to what you just wrote) Apple Car team was moved to AI.

We kinda built this back in 2009. You strapped an iPhone to your arm and it counted reps by looking at the waveforms from the three axes of the accelerometer. It ended up becoming a (not very successful) YC W11 company.

The other thing is that passing a class isn't for the benefit of the schools; it's for the benefit of the student. If the student gets away with cheating and they fail to develop the skills for their career, then they are the ones

In an exponential game where the prize is ASI, being just a couple of steps ahead may turn out to be enough.

From what I've seen it's over-hiring plus interest rates changing the criteria by which companies are measured. The market now favors profitability over exponential growth and for many companies that means slimming down.

Amazing. All these developments in robotics over the last few years after decades of stagnation really make me want to return to the field (my first job after school in 1997 was designing robots for nuclear reactors).

Very. But a lot of packages I think have been abandoned in favour of those built by Expo.

Mediocre ideas are a dime a dozen. Meanwhile to me at least it seems as if good ideas are increasingly rare.

As someone of the same age I feel the same. Sometimes I'm enjoying myself or finding it especially easy to be stoical about mortality. But sometimes it makes me breathless with dread for a few minutes. The realisation I was probably bo

There's so much to unpack here. Firstly, I think it's ok that some companies are 100% remote, some are 100% office, some are mixed; potential employees choose based on their wants and needs. Personally I like mixed. I'd never

As for the boat I'd be worried; potentially some has lost something likely valuable to them, or worse fallen overboard.

The volume of applications we are getting for our open roles is huge and the proportion of them applying because they were laid off is higher than I've ever seen. Given that, as you will expect, hiring teams we need to process a lot of

The speed is far more important than immediately obvious. To be able to iterate on the scale of minutes and hours and not hours and days is a game-changer. Imagine how productive a programmer would be if their compiler used to take 1.5 hour

Better deal by some measures, but definitely not part quality. Far from it. My equally-priced VzBot kit has much better quality components in every area right down to the screws. That said, if I put a price on my time I think the X1C would

I also cancelled my X1C and am now part-way through a VzBot kit :) Didn't want something I couldn't repair/upgrade, even though the VzBot is for me quite a complicated build!

I've been in crypto a long time. I chose specifically Venezuela as I know that is a good case of Bitcoin not achieving its objectives and was called out specifically as an example of it supposedly being successful. And I very much stan

Furthermore, crypto is spectacularly effective at violating rights; "so, Mr Arnold, I see on the blockchain your paid for your wife to have an abortion. That's 10 years in jail for you".

Except that's not really what's happening. In Venezuela the only people using crypto to any extent is people who already are tech savvy and have the skills to work around these limitations. The "unbanked" however still d
