Services and Actions are built on top of pubsub (with separate Request/Response vs Goal/Feedback/Result topics respectively). At least w/ ROS1 - I'm not sure if ROS2 improved things here... Nodelets are also a disa

pub/sub is NOT a natural fit for robotics - you want bounded timing and generally for error-handling you want to know what happened as a result of a message being published. ROS introduced "commands" and "actions"

The soundtrack to SC3000 is a straight banger. I wish they'd make an exact port to the iPad (instead of that gimped version they released years ago that didn't have subways or highways or anything like that)

Robotics is really really really really hard. So let's turn the entire thing into a system of distributed microservices, using CORBA/DDS for pubsub... It'd be like if you designed a video game so that the physics engine (mot

I'm extremely pro-remote work, but I think Sam's got a point with early early early stage products. When you have ~5 people and 1-2M in funding, you need all the benefits you can get with respect to communication.

This FAQ very carefully navigates the reader through concerns about the origins of Washington's dentures.

"I'm sorry Dave, but as a large language model developed by OpenAI, I'm not capable of opening doors in the physical world, but if I were to pretend to be able to open the door, I wouldn't let you do that."

Yeah I'd love to press my face into a greasy demo headset at the local Walmart. The hygiene aspect of VR is under-appreciated.

Any software developer can access GitHub and StackOverflow - can they do it in a single shot as quickly as GPT? I'm amazed how much resistance there is to one of the biggest technological advancements in history. And this is JUST gett

Yeah this is a valuable point - AGI just isn't specific enough. ChatGPT is, an artificial generalized intelligence. But is that a useful label? I imagine we'll be needing to find a way to better define and quantify intelligence (

So a "regular" AI is one trained to perform a specific task - like recognizing dogs in an image or handwriting recognition. These LLMs are trained for one skill: given the previous N tokens, what's the next token. From this

So the companies that sell on Amazon pay money to Amazon (from the revenues they get from Amazon's customers) to have their products listed more favorably than competitors (one of which is actually Amazon). I can see how this seems adv

How long until we have a Bevy Editor? How (specifically for an Editor) can we help? I'm curious how the dynamic nature of an Editor will interact with rust.

At this point, it's the 'reaearchers' and 'journalists' fear-mongering about LLMs at are malevolent. Unfortunately I fear that there will be regulatory intervention to placate the concern-trolls. Better prepare...

It's more about the fact that Starbucks uses fully automatic machines and less-skilled baristas to pull shots. With a super dark coffee, you can get consistent results (consistently bad IMO). If they went for lighter roasts, there wou

We microchip our pets. Let me walk into the DMV and get microchipped. Then I can force-wave to pay for goods, go through security checkpoints, etc. People will freak the fuck out about it... but personally I'm 100% for it.

Humans aren't reliable either. This is why we write tests, have code reviews, fact-checking/editing, etc.
