I assume you mean n^2 + 2n right? Given your example, you ignore the n^2 because n^12 grows SO much faster. For any "normal" amount of operations, n^12 wipes out 4*n^2 in terms of cost.

I think a savvy, empowered employee would say, "No problem sir" and order themselves whatever side they wanted to eat in a bit. =)

This is matches perfectly for why I stopped playing as well.

Also, EVE makes it impossible to achieve the heights of internet spaceship power without cooperation. You cannot hold a region by yourself, etc. That said, the "unorthodox" gameplay is what makes EVE the best MMO ever. As a veteran of XZH

Corporations are built into EVE, as are alliances.

I'd love to see his code and compare it side by side. Sadly, it appears he's considering it proprietary.

I'd love to see it! Can you send me some details via email (in my profile)? Thanks!

That system doesn't appear to be able to even reach the actor. What detection? What fail-safes? This new system is built to be handled totally remotely. The time it takes a human to respond results in dead people.

Except the examples you gave are both NOT what they're proposing here. You had robots well away from humans with hardware systems preventing them from impacting human space. The first example didn't even involve humans. This system is mea

I wrote a few comments earlier about this device, but I thought I'd try and sum up my thoughts on it in one post. This is terribly dangerous. Thus far, they've been lucky - nobody has done something wrong or stupid. That said, it cannot l

This still imparts quite a bit of force to someone, potentially killing them.

They likely don't make sure it doesn't collide with anyone. There MAY be some local safety systems in place, like virtual light curtains and exclusion zones...

Inventables used to provide monthly subscriptions to design teams of "interesting stuff" - much like what was provided here. They pivoted though - now they provide hardware to designers directly: https://www.inventables.com/

Likely a GPS spoofing attack. Not difficult but the designers should have protected against it.

Actually, the whole point of the models is that GW sells them. The prices for GW products has steadily increased over the years, even though their material costs have not. 3D printing totally upends their business model.

You are part of the top 1% then. Most makers try to cobble something together and don't approach it from first principles. 3D printers need to print high strength components and TechShops need to be all over the country before I think we'l

Part of it is hardware costs, part of it is human nature. Many robot hobbyists I know fall into the "That part is $X? I can build it for $X/N!!!" Soon they have no robot, and half a part.

MEKA and SRI are their two other partners and are no slouches. They have a difficult problem space that they're working in - it will be very interesting to see if they can pull it off.

I'm sorry I was unclear - I meant that the scene could have changed since the Street View team was last through. The Google Maps data is surprisingly bad - we saw several presentations about the Car, and they highlighted how awful it really

I believed that as well, but now I'm not so sure. The density of data gathered by the Velodyne on the self driving cars is far higher than the SICK lasers in that picture. Also, the scene may have changed in the interim.

The system likely has a bubble of safety around it to allow for sudden changes close to the car. This makes the "car" far larger than it would actually be.

There are very few standardized systems in the automotive industry, especially for "luxury items". Recently, that's changed with some manufacturers using the same undercarriage to build different cars. It would take a huge change in the m

I wouldn't rate particle filtering, localization, object tracking and filtering in AI. They are enablers, but not the intelligence. Policy search is AI. =) Eyes not only have great resolution and depth perception, but are attached to an am

According to Urmson, Google doesn't want to be in the car business - just the software business.

You _would_ screw it up - but only that mirror. The systems are designed for safety - the car would likely stop.

Well, the car itself becomes a device, right? - Active internal displays that push ads based on detailed mapping information. - Delivering you to a particular location after you look it up on Google. What's the Price per Delivery (PPD) on

Doubtful. Most of these companies want to own the tech. I'm actually concerned they won't be able to sell it if they tried - Chrysler is actively developing a self-driving system that they hope to deploy in 2 years.
