Yeah exactly, this page doesn't explain what's going on at all. It says it uses a mirror image to do a Gaussian splat. How does that infer any kind of 3D geometry? An image and its mirror are explainable by a simple plane and that

Wrap that up and abstract it as a transport system. The users don't need to know the inner workings, they just need a transport API that guarantees exactly-once.

Easy exactly-once delivery: Send a transaction ID with the transaction using an at-least-once system. The receiver ignores duplicate ID transactions. The sender can guarantee never sending the same ID twice.

Chile would be an ideal country to have a high speed rail link going down the whole country. You'd need effectively just 1 rail line to connect everything, the country is inherently 1-dimensional. Weirdly enough, there aren't even

ChargePoint is usually fine. I've rarely had problems except in rare cases where the cables were cut, presumably by some MAGA person. EVgo and Electrify America routinely fail at the payment-charging stage for me. The Tesla is expectin

I once arrived at a Tesla supercharger that was full and there were Teslas lining up, but there were 4 CCS high speed DC chargers right next to them and not a single one was taken. Thankfully I had the adapter and just used one of them. Tho

As an EV owner, another issue I find is that there are a discomfortingly large number of chargers that are "for customers only" or that require you to pay for parking just to charge. This is a massive UX issue. With gas cars you c

The practice of preferentially hiring conventionally-attractive women for sales is still rampant even if people don't admit to it. In parts of Asia it's unfortunuately often explicit; job postings often specify the race, age, weig

That I agree, finding your cofounder by doing side projects while already in a stable living situation (college or employed) is a super good move.

Yes, though this is also a privileged view. Investors don't invest in projects, they invest in businesses. Without investment, you might not have enough money to pay your next months' rent or your next hospital bill. If this doesn
