The nominal range for automotive systems is 10-16v. If you are designing anything for automotive use that doesn’t work reliably in that range, you are manufacturing problems for people.

I’ve settled on the idea that it doesn’t matter what is or is not “real” in this context, but rather how it interacts with the world as being the ground truth. This will become very clear once robotics becomes pervasive. It won’t matter if

Well, even though I am in general sympathetic to and even a proponent of disaster preparedness, there are undoubtedly people preparing to “ride out the end of days sitting on a pile of guns and MREs.” I have brushed against a few in my life

I think that pepper mostly exists in movies. Certainly some people probably emulate the Hollywood version, but I think that’s about it. Most “peppers” are fathers that have had the good sense to pause and think “so, what would I be able to

I’ve been using it to develop firmware in c++. Typically around 10-20 KLOC. Current projects use Sensors, wire protocols, RF systems , swarm networks, that kind of stuff integrated into the firmware. If you use it correctly, you can get be

My thoughts exactly. Something like this could make it so that modest GPU capacity, like a pair of 3090s , and lots of RAM could make big inference more practical for personal labs

Is it doing a bunch of ssd writes?

This is it for me. I am doing much better high level work since I don’t have to spend much time on lower level work. I have time to think and explore reframe and reanalyse

I am a yokobashi offender. How rude is it? When the food is not well prepared for chopsticks it’s really useful. But I do see why it’s rude, because it does imply that the food is not quite right. The Chinese restaurants in my country seem

People are painfully ignorant about how this is going to be with robotics. There is an expectation based on current performance… understandable but fails to incorporate the why, which is grossly inadequate training data. When that is solved

Certainly gullible people are problematic in a democracy. But he would never have been elected without massive support from the oligarch club. Also look at the statistical analysis of the election-not decisive by itself but substantial. Als

Tiny team; big technically challenging project across a several compute domains from microcontrollers to S3 buckets. We don’t really do real vibe coding except on web. (Basically static site) App development: 4x. Lots of interface. Firmware

It’s not that simple and we shouldn’t be so eager to blame our neighbours. Trump has been heavily involved with Russian money ever since US banks refused to loan him more money for his repeated bankruptcies. At that time, Putin was head of

The object is to create metrics that are plausible (or more specifically for which the knowledge of falsification is plausibly deniable), not to actually self deport people (although that could be viewed as a desirable side effect). We can

I see you have not met my (ex) sister in law. Alternatively, you have, and you are a much better (stronger? More stoic? More charitable? I don’t even know what it would take) man than I am. Hats off to you, and Godspeed!

lol. I can see the humor in that. I can’t say I have seen it IRL but it does strike me as entertaining to imagine. Sort of funny in that “haha didn’t happen to me” kind of way.

Idk, in my hometown, jail is seen by some as being preferable to winter village life. A few people commit petty crimes for the purpose of a 6 month lockup until spring (or at least this was the case 3 decades ago). Could be that Alaska has

This isn’t a serious project, in the terms of something that will disrupt warfighting. It’s basically a resume to work as a junior engineer at Anduril. Interesting stuff, neat project, nothing new at all here except his multi camera sensing

I’d agree with you in a debate, for sure, but I’m just stating my opinion. Of course, opinions are like assholes, everybody’s got one lol, so I’m not saying im necessarily right. But I do think in the special case of self maintaining, self

I’m working on that, but there’s an incentive alignment problem for early stage investment capital that requires investors with a little longer view to avoid kneecapping the value proposition, as well as the potential positive aspects to so

This seems more on the RPI side rather than propeller, propeller was never a really good choice for production integration. This looks like it could hold its own in many contexts.

Sorry, my AI autocorrected “ubi is” to “unions”. When I came back to all these “unions bad” comments I was like WTF are they on about??? lol. But, I will say, often, unions are very positive things. Other times, basically evil. So, I think

by K0balt 7mo ago
lol “unions” was thanks to AI deciding “ubi is” couldn’t be what I meant. This might be saying something about the possibility of this working out.

by K0balt 7mo ago
lol. I typed ubi is and the autocorrect put “unions.” It has been corrected . But it is kinda funny anyway.

UBI is the actual solution, and is well understood enough now to know that most of the arguments against it are moot points or simply falsehoods. Unfortunately, with regulatory capture at near 100 percent and electoral capture almost as bad
