Just at a glance it looks about 10x faster than my Prusa, but I agree it wouldn't be much more than 2-3x faster than larger scale printers for sure. I don't think Carbon would come under "comparable 3D printers" as it is

Can the Soyuz capsule be launched and docked while un-manned? If all doesn't go well with the investigation, they could do an un-manned launch to get an empty capsule up there to replace the currently docked capsule.

Also mud spray and other road debris covering sensors can be solved with hardware (wipers, sprayers etc.) so it's probably not at the top of Waymo's long list of difficulties.

A good example is the image tagging in Photos which has been there for quite a while, if you search for a term in your images folder it'll show you images they classified with that term. This applies regardless of if you are using iClo

Pretty cool! Does anyone else get strange clumps of 'Gates'? Surely a city wouldn't need a whole block of gates, or am I misunderstanding something? Edit: Just realised they are always around gates in a wall if the wall is en

To put it simply: It's easier said and theorised than done. The easiest to use, most consistent and stable system is always going to be a centralised system and these cost money. Once money is involved it starts to become a company and

In Australia there have been talks of culling sharks or putting up massive nets along beaches. A deployable distraction or deterrent against sharks would probably be more cost effective.

IIRC in the conference they showed ~40ms+ per frame for the Star Wars demo so that would be around the 24 fps region.

Also there are very few games that use intensive raytracing right now. It'll take some time to get the libraries embedded into graphics frameworks and popular engines. I don't imagine they'll release a consumer Turing card un

Yes they are raytracing some pixels and filling the blanks with ML/DL. I believe you could actually ray-trace everything depending on your target output. In these demos they're targeting many dynamic lights, reflections and refrac

While the 4800 series Radeon cards supported fully ray-traced pipelines it wasn't necessarily dedicated to it. These have a section of the chip entirely dedicated to ray-tracing computations and acceleration.
