Lidar alone is not enough, as it relies on the certain reflective properties of objects around (and there's also solar light noise). But yes, they ought to add a lidar and more cameras so that there's 360 coverage with a good over

Well, that's the point: we can now (mostly, theoretically) fix the issues when they appear, instead of hoping they would never show up, and the costs of fixing will only go down over time.

While I don't have any particular opinion on TOS violations here, I have to point out that it's definitely not stealing. At worst, it's an unauthorized copying.

Out-of-tree targets for LLVM are generally a bad idea given how fast LLVM is changed. Every change could break the out-of-tree target, and being out-of-tree, there's no way the upstream developers could notice that.

For comparison, Tesla Superchargers are 120 kW at peak (when charging an empty battery): http://insideevs.com/tesla-cranks-superchargers-up-past-120-... They are not wireless, though.

The article doesn't have a single reference to a research paper. It's entirely possible to write a similar essay with an opposite title like "The research is clear, let's keep elementary homework", and it would be

Contemporary phones (e.g. iPhone 6S) are capable of running GoogLeNet at 1 FPS, see, for example, this demo (mine): https://github.com/krasin/MetalDetector AlexNet will run at ~10 FPS, I guess.

yeah, that was a bit strange. By choosing Little Endian, the author would achieve the ability to mmap an uncompressed image file to memory and then use it directly like an array in all contemporary hardware architectures. Not that it's

According to the machinability ratings [1], Inconel 700 is rated at 0.09 (less is harder) and Inconel 702 at 0.11, while most of the Titanium alloys are above 0.15. There's a single Titanium alloy family (MST) in the table that is just

According to Wikipedia ([1]), the world energy consumption is on the order of 20 TW. A typical Russian nuclear reactor outputs 1 GW ([2]). It gives us 20000 reactors to cover the current human needs. It seems that the math is correct. At th
