There is a neat solve for the thermal problem that York Space systems has been advocating (based on Russian tech)… put everything in an enclosure. https://www.yorkspacesystems.com/ Short version: make a giant pressure vesse

This seems to be a way to identify and create a 'periodic table' of different machine learning approaches... importantly identifying 'gaps' between approaches which may yield new ways of doing various learning techniques

Honestly, and I feel like a promoter… but get either a hackpack from Mark Rober or as otherwise mentioned, mindstorms from LEGO. Crunch labs: https://www.crunchlabs.com/ As someone in the industry (I literally can call myse

They don’t… just do whichever one you are most interested in doing. Each box more or less stands alone (at least that is what I am observing from my kids assembly of them)

My kids have loved watching Mark Robers videos, have the subscriptions (one of both the backpack and crunchpack), and we uploaded our video for SatGus. If you have young kids (6-15) these are perfect educational tools. Highly recommend. Onl

This has been a pain point for us and our development process… not all versions of Nvidia drivers are the same… even released ones. You have to find a “good” version and keep to it, and then selectively upgrade… at least this has been the c

Just to plug a friend… Velo.ai does similar things… but has other stuff going on: https://www.velo.ai/ Interesting to see how these two would compare, but my first (light) glance points to velo.ai being further along…

It seems to me that if SLS goes… so does Gateway. That said, one thing to note: There are not that many stable lunar orbits. Unlike the earth, the moon is very lumpy. It is the reason why most lunar orbiters end up doing a planned crash a

Reading this, this line deeply resonated: “People that out of necessity grow a thick skin with not fitting in and being OK standing out.” I think this is a pre req to trying to do what a founder is working to do: Change fundamental belief s

They insist likely due to the “Kleenex” effect. Couldn’t find a good reference, but once an item becomes generic, it can loose copyright. Article: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/24/smarter-living/how-a-b

Question: If this change goes into effect, will it effectively open up banking for all the cannabis related/cannabis adjacent companies? Seems like a really smart move to bring them into the financial system.

The best resource I have found for “news” has been Andra Keay’s newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/comm/newsletters/710308591124398489... In it she covers the latest and greatest robot news, with occasional comm

This is something I think about quite a bit: There are about 8 billion people on this earth. Of the 8 billion, I would argue only 1 in 10 (800 million) have their basic needs met and a decent education. This is the pool of people most of ou

lol, yes… it is indeed fun to share these stories. Two alternate stories I didn’t tell: First is about my two friends (both ridiculously smart) who in undergrad became the TAs for the Operating System class at Carnegie Mellon as undergrads

This was 30+ years ago… I don’t know the details, but trust the source. The source used to teach at Carnegie Mellon. The point my friend made to me was that this guy was so good he never had to debug a program after he was done. FWIW, appar

Story from a friend who once was offered the first PhD in Computer Science. He once mentored a guy who was so ridiculously good at writing programs, that he wrote out (once) a 5 foot stack of punch cards (back when that was how you would co

This is overall a good, and needed thing. While the BE-4 engines from Blue Origin are fantastic, they need the level of system maturity that is represented by ULA. Together, I see a real chance to be competitive with SpaceX long term. Yes,

In Graduate school I fasted for a week. It was deliberate as a cleansing activity for myself. Before this I had never really did any extensive fasting. To directly answer your question, I didn’t talk to a doctor ahead of time, but I did mak
