> Their vision stack now produces depth information that is dramatically superior to that from a forward-facing radar. RADAR is more low fidelity though, blocky, slow and doesn't do changes in direction or dimension very well. RADAR

Even with the two camera approach, you are still doing depth checking with a flat computer vision algorithm. Also keep in mind humans can turn their head, and can handle new situations without training. Humans also can tell situations bette

In the end I think self-driving regulations will require depth checking beyond computer vision as it can be tricked on any new situation. Depth checks using LiDAR are extremely efficient up to a football field away down to the direction som

There is such a thing as simple code. The job of the engineer is to make complexity simple, even when your target market is other engineers. The complexifiers and verbose Vogons persist heavily today though, as well as project management pr

We are all living vicariously through the good news of the James Webb space telescope successes. Some much needed good news that is based on the innovative push that humanity has. The good side of our human condition.

Yeah when you say "crypto" now, people aren't thinking encryption/decryption/private/public/keys/certs/algos, they are appending "currency" in their brains.

Bit Gold was maybe to test out interest, then when the real one was made it would be more anonymous. If you think about it, bitcoin being anonymous is a feature as it makes it seem less centralized eventhough Satoshi owns a large chunk of
