It's always weird to me that acetaminophen has such a low therapeutic index, like in order to get enough for it to do anything, you're also on the verge of liver failure (especially if you also drink alcohol). Also it just doesn&#

That's like USD $3m. Good luck building anything nuclear for that budget.

You might be able to add velocity information when doing the A* search, as well as use minkowski sum to make sure that it never tries to squeeze through too tiny a gap.

Yeah generally you'd use a visibility graph/navmesh. I don't know why people keep trying to do path finding on a dense grid --- even with quadtree-based space partitioning, you might still end up with a complexity dependent o

Even if it does exist, it may not use the "Scrabble" trademark, making it difficult to search for. For example, one time I forgot what Woogles was called and had trouble finding it again since it doesn't mention Scrabble at a

isc.ro is one of the most old school, classic, and beloved Scrabble servers, but its implementation is really outdated and has some notable vulnerabilities/bugs. For example, the rack tiles seem to be randomly generated on the clientsi

It seems that the future of robotics is VLA models. Even Tesla FSD is an end-to-end VLA model. Efficient vision encoding will be a huge part of making robots safe and responsive.

I visited outside it twice but they are very strict with protecting the privacy of the residents, so you aren't allowed in. I could only take some photos from street level outside.

I love Rhino's CLI-focused UI. Too bad it is nearly impossible to run it on Linux with Wine [1] [1] https://github.com/smola/wine-rhino3d

The fact that there are too few younger truck drivers means that most young people have already found higher paying, better jobs than current truck driving jobs.

It's funny/sad how a bunch of Soviet Venera probes had malfunctioning camera lens caps and returned black photos. From Venera 9-12 all four probes had malfunctioning lens caps. And then > The Venera 14 craft had the misfortune

There's a national truck driver shortage, with a particular lack of young drivers [1]. Perhaps automation technology will become widespread just in time for the current generation of drivers to retire. [1] https://www.iru.or

It honestly feels like they spend years validating each new platform, e.g. the Zeekr was announced years ago and only recently are they very rarely seen on the streets but only as Waymo Engineering mules. Likewise the transition from the Ch

by porphyra 1y ago
I considered getting a Waymo once in LA but I found that since it doesn't go on highways, it is incredibly slow, and cost $60 to spend the same 1 hour as riding the E line for my trip. I ended up riding the E line.

Interesting assumption, but unfortunately it is a wrong assumption.

Tesla also has a strong culture of preferring vertical integration. And most research unambiguously shows that Teslas are the most Anerican-made.

I agree that allowing elections to be influenced by spending money was a mistake. Campaign spending is way out of control and it reduces our leaders and politicians into desperately begging for donations.

In the long run, unions can be blamed for this whole Trump Presidency. Biden was pressured by unions to snub Tesla at the EV summit. This personally offended Elon, who then went to support Trump with all sorts of tactics including buying Tw
