   How did this get to the front page of HN? It's very poor quality and almost every comment has a negative sentiment.

   You seem to have read a lot of this so I'm genuinely curious: why do you refer to the country as "columbia" instead of "Colombia"?

   If letting go the $800k was purely PR, then that's some expensive PR. Who reads these blogs, a couple thousand people maybe?

    I've always been curious... do you worry about job security given how teams are sold and/or restructured every other year and how heavily they dependend on sponsors and results?

    I'm a bit fascinated by this Ultralytics. It has super nice website but according to LinkedIn, I think it's just one guy who does consultancy. The intriguing part is that he has also done research in particle physics (as Ulatrlyti

    This is a great idea. If you manage to pull this off you'd gain extremely valuable experience that would allow you to easily transition later on.

    I've heard this argument before and I think it made sense the first time I heard it when self-driving systems were uncommon. But now every major tech/car company is working on it, should it still be considered? I mean, isn't

    That highly depends on the amount (in USD) at stake: $100: Absolutely. $1000: Tough, but I'd do it if it meant the promised change to financial services $10000: Unlikely, I'd rather keep my non-perfect coins $100000: No way.
