I think the most interesting "escape the simulation" hypothetical is That Alien Message [1] But +1 to Worth the Candle which was excellent. Given your taste in literature, do you have any other recommendations? I'll put forw

Cool, thanks Aaron. I feel like we've been carried on the backs of YC SUS videos for some time, but this startup library is far more organized than what I've seen before. I echo your sentiment, by the way: thus far, fundraising o

Awesome, going through it right now and learning a ton. Dated? Sure, but How To Win Friends And Influence People is still bang-on, and it was written almost a century ago. I really appreciate the recommendation!

This article raises some awesome points. As a founder who is going through a seed round right now, I'm working hard to optimize our own fundraising process. Aaron refers to a plethora of resources for effective fundraising, but it&#x2

Nah, your concerns are 100% reasonable - they just operate on a different context. On Earth, latency is king. On Mars, especially until the Primary Mission is complete, it's all about risk mitigation. Since we're light-minutes

As a radio-astronomer: 1. Well, few radio-telescopes have instantaneous bandwidth as wide as a factor of 12 -- they are usually optimal on a narrow region, and therefore hoping that another group with instruments optimized for lower/hi

SAR generally relies on assumptions that your target is not changing. I question how well it would work in a complicated environment like a road scene. In my opinion, the single-shot nature of LIDAR is more robust. But its possible that

They are taking advantage of nonlinear properties in the microphone system, as described clearly in the article. There is no software filtering to protect against this using classical signal processing. That said, it may be possible to det

This is precisely the difference from regular programming: Our code is typically going to be used by a very small number of people, and the inputs are typically very well constrained. It's typically faster to just call up the new pro

I took this class last year. Although it was nice to see undergraduates instructing the class, the lack of teaching experience really showed: the students were pretty rough around the edges in terms of their examples and explanations. Abo
