I have a 2010 Toyota Prius, and I've intermittently had the exact same problem. Except my song was "Oogum Boogum" - fortunately it was the Alex Chilton version which I still like. My latest struggle is that my phone now plays

I can't recommend Lightning Bolt's album "Wonderful Rainbow" enough. It's super heavy, but repetitive enough that I can easily focus while I listen to it.

This is excellent. Your approach of solving the hardest problems first is great engineering. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

We have housefinches and white crowned sparrows in my neighborhood, and both have really distinctive calls that get stuck in my head all the time. The housefinches sound like they're ripping a Van Halen riff, and the sparrows sound li

They aren't officially EOLing the stereo cameras yet, but their assurances about how long they'll remain in production have been very hand-wavey. Does FLIR actually have a stereo solution? Back when they were Point Grey they sold

This is a real shame - I just finished lobbying to use these at work after some very successful initial prototypes. Does anyone have any experience with the TI mmWave sensors[1] for AMR collision avoidance? [1] https://www.ti.com

One of the drawbacks of video chat is that the camera on your device is offset from the face of the person that you're chatting with (typically your camera is on top of your screen, rather than embedded in the middle of it). This leav
