Perhaps the author just doesn't understand the difference between managers and leaders? (many people don't) https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Naz6pvFqGfk/VQ2JxTNg0UI/AAAAAAAAH...

Aren't you missing LinkedIn on your list? We get way more views on LinkedIn than on relevant Reddit communities for instance (we are a robotics SaaS startup).

There are two types of AVs: perfect ones and real ones. The perfect ones never ever collide with anything even when it is thrown at them, while real ones save lives but get banned by regulators.

Is that your finding or did you just forget the quotation marks? If they are your findings, could you elaborate?

I'm a big fan of Semantic UI, but I thought it was dead? There's barely been any activity on the repo in over 5 years ( https://github.com/Semantic-Org/Semantic-UI/graphs/contribut... ).

"No one will see you picking your nose The moment you touch your nose, your live avatar will immediately become very blurred." -- that's hilarious! You've clearly done your user-research. Good job!

Agreed. Why do people keep pretending that robots are anyhow more sentient than other types of automation? They aren't! They are just as dumb instruction followers as your average conveyor belt, just that the instructions might be a bi

wow, what a pipe dream! "Arriving summer 2024" and it does laundry. Sorry, but that alone makes me skeptical .

That is one expensive coffee machine! And error prone, too. The stereotypical example of how automation should not try to copy how humans do things 1:1 is washing machines: they are not humanoid robots carrying laundry baskets to the rive

So many mistakes! a) What you describe is the VC industry, not YC. b) Yes, it's a well known fact that the expected value (in $$$) of doing a startup is less than that of being an employee, so don't do it for the money; and c) mos

I would: 1 Start learning about ROS, 1a run some basic tutorials, 1b run a virtual robot in Gazebo (simulator); 2 Buy one of those raspberry pi based robot kits; 3 Buy an intel d435 3d camera (if you can afford it); 4 repeat what you did in

What's the news here? This robot is cool, but I've seen it before a number of times. If there is a significant update about the bot then the page you are linking to doesn't make that clear.
