This is quite cool. I'm curious though what the monetization strategy is now. After all they're a for-profit company that has taken a lot of VC. Sure, they could sell integration and maintenance services on top but services are ty

At a recent Intel event I spoke to a senior Altera engineer and he recommended just using OpenCL and not bothering with either VHDL or Verilog. Apparently the OpenCL to FPGA compilers these days have become so good that the performance is w

There's a difference between internally weighing build-vs-buy and openly threatening a pair of hackers in a negotiation with a blatant rip-off.

My impression from working at Google was that lack of respect for property is unfortunately part of Google's culture. I've met this mindset on many occasions, so this whole lawsuit, as well as the fact that Levandowski was allowed

Thanks for sharing. Somehow I find a lot of Computer Science texts published under the "Foundations and Trends" model of very high quality.

I'm not an expert in Probabilistic Graphical Models but I do know factor graphs well. I've also read quite a bit of the recent SLAM and VO stuff that came out of Dellaert's group. Here's the thing: Dellaert loves to writ

Very cool! Is the same also available for the spending of Bundeslaender as well as communities? Lots of taxes also go there.

You may disagree but most books I read on math, or subjects that require math, contain a sizable amount of BS. Not in the sense of containing things that are wrong but in the sense of containing things that are there for the author to show

People gave Google a lot of shit for their supposedly naive or hypocritical mantra of "don't be evil". Turns out it's genuine and not so naive after all. I strongly disagree. Google, like other companies, is very oppor

Yes, it's early days though. What's currently out there generally lacks speed/coverage and accuracy. The real breakthroughs will come with solid-state LiDAR but it's still a couple years out from mass-market availability

I found your reply kind of odd. Why would Waymo get it into the business of selling LIDAR sensors so that hobbyists could use them in their projects when that clearly isn't their business model. Because let me assure you that an affo
