I have a hard time just picking up and plugging that heavy fatass CCS connector. And then I have to try plugging it in 3 times because it waits for the car and the car waits for it and one gives up before the other succeeds.

Most of the population is struggling because the economy has become predatory. That's my point. If you're not struggling, congratulations.

Currency as a way to trade value and skills is a beautiful invention, and that is to be credited for a lot of modern quality of life. But everything else in the economy (extreme taxation, medical care, housing) has become increasingly preda

I know as an Oracle employee you don't want to hear this, but part of the problem is that you are no longer database-agnostic if you do this. The messaging tech being separate from the database tech means the architects can swap out th

When paper and pen was invented, I'm sure there was a bearded caveman holding a fish who made a comment about how it was someone's problem that they didn't have a tool to carve stone tablets. Paper is on its way out, electron

Nice! What infra do you use for inference? I'm wondering what the cost-effective platforms are for projects like this. GPUs on AWS and Azure are incredibly expensive for personal use.

Yes! I've never had an issue -- in the US at least, signatures on receipts generally don't matter. Cat sketches are usually fine. The only place I've had it mattered is when signing bank documents in Asia.

It's lining up multiple times. When I walk in with a box, I don't know how the hell to mail it, what to fill out, what the pricing vs. delivery ETA grid is so I can decide where I want to position myself on that curve, the differe

I mean, part of the problem is I didn't own a pen at the time. I have multiple computers and phones, I thought that was the interface to the post-2000 world. I do have paint, but that's a little clumsy. I grudgingly own a box of

Once I had to send an international RMA that they wouldn't pay for the shipping. It went something like this: 0. Went to Fedex to check on the shipping cost for this tiny box. It was $120 so I passed 1. Went to USPS, found that they we

I detest this trend of needing an app for every piece of hardware. Just put the damn interface on the hardware. You are after all selling the hardware, not the app.

What I am suggesting is that whether or not the people are predatory, they created a system that is mathematically predatory. In the pre-Uber world taxis would line up, the fare wouldn't be any different whether or not it is just after

Not a PI employee, but diffusion policies are like diffusion models for image generation, they generate actions from noise in multiple steps. With current compute you can't run 100+Hz control loops with that kind of architecture. Some

Capable doesn't mean it always puts out that amount of heat. A well-designed system would have good insulation, can dump 10000W watts of heat out and bring the room from cool to toasty in 5 minutes, and then scale back and maintain the
