For someone interested in robotics and automation, what types of groups/jobs would one look for specifically in this industry? Also geographically where are these types of jobs located?

I've listened to a bunch of those episodes. I agree, the host/creator does a fantastic job.

I will just add, the author of the NYT piece has a book out on this subject. The book is decent, has some cringe worthy descriptions of technical things if you are a technical person, but overall I learned a huge amount reading it. A lot of

Domes see expensive to build and expensive to maintain. Makes me wonder why we always assumed the moon colonies of the future would be exotic looking architecture rather than boring and easy to upkeep.

I think the author used Yolov5 to detect cars and their own method for counting them. Counting requires tracking object instances, which Yolo doesn't do.

This seems to be a common design pattern on iOS App Store as well. Download a 'free' app and don't let the user use the app in trial mode unless they click a button that gets them to sign up, subscribe, or buy some in app pur

But nearest neighbors interpolation would be quick on a gpu, right?

$600m from the state of Michigan, so tax payer money? So the people are paying for their own settlement? My guess is this shows up as an extra line item in the utility bill, like the San Bruno pipeline explosion a few years go. I don't

How is the worth determined? Are there actually buyers/bidders at the appraisal price?

One of the nicer things about the hough approach is also that you can get a bunch of other information from parameter space, like horizon lines and vanishing points.

Is the vim-vscode extension good? I love vim on the terminal but I tried thr extension once and felt like I was trying to shovel one system into another system. Maybe I was just doing it wrong...?

You can buy as much or as little as you want from your normal broker (schwab, ibkr, fidelity, etc)

Nothing, you can buy and sell them in the secondary market.

Forgive me for having no idea what this project is, but is this a telemetry library for web infrastructure, or is this an open source telemetry library for monitoring high frequency signals from hardware devices, or...?

For sure, but in practical terms these types of dealings often have middle men and the end buyer is often not known (by design). Everything I know is from podcasts and books, so I'm not an authority on the subject - though I would poin

Is it illegal in the US to sell zero-day exploits, or to package up zero-day exploits into nice usable tools? My understanding is that it is not illegal, but something like this perhaps give the US a tool to pursue and/or prosecute ind

Out of curiosity, the video part way down ("White Drwarf System Animation Text") showing the dying star... how are these videos created? Is it done in something like Blender? The video credits Keck Observatory, do they have 3d art

Kinda makes one wonder what all the fuss about billionaires going to space is about. VR industry isn't exactly lacking in private funding rightnow. My guess is that this money is strategically aligned with shoring up chip manufacturing

I would just remind people that there is a lot of talk about "when i became a vegetarian/vegan". There are many many people that did not become vegetarian, they have always been vegetarian.

Not really without moving the price of the stock. You can try it yourself by trading some illiquid securities. It goes with anything you trade - if you trade enough you move the price. It's also not working capital, it's just a pe

Indeed. This is the first I've heard the term used outside electric grid management.

Is this something like TMS? I know people that do this, apparently the results are very good.

I think the most surprising thing to me in these comments is the lack of awareness of how real people in the real world communicate with each other in countries outside of the west. At the end of the day, Whatsapp is reliable communication

My guess is that it's just easier to find Calculus teachers vs Linear Algebra teachers. Maybe it's less obvious in the US but when I have visited schools in poor countries you really get a sense of where knowledge in certain subje

They do, but the lawsuit was brought by the class of affected employees, not by the companies. The companies were all in on the anti-competitive behaviors

I think there is a lot of context being left out here, and people who were not in the industry during this time period will wonder whether this is legal or whatever. The answer is, no it is not legal and there was a class action lawsuit. Al

I would add that if manufacturing moves back to the US in any meaningful way, prices across the board will go up and consumption will go down. A lot of those thin margins will get crushed anyway, especially because - as you pointed out, muc

Not that I claim to know how to factor the cost in, but meat production has negative externalities that the industry doesn't pay for. Not to mention things like water rights etc. If the farmers actually paid those costs, my guess is th
