I agree. That is why the 10 commandments were written in stone. If you have a really good tweet, I would make a backup by carving it in stone.

They are probably just using 'men' and 'women' as an approximation that sort of matches the distribution of human beings. Without diving into the exact individual's relationships with sex/gender, you could get

In other words, don't blame the technology that is working the way it was designed to work. Blame the people who are intentionally or unintentionally being deceptive.

No. If you read the documentation and understand how the technology works it is very obvious that it is too expensive to store the actual images on the blockchain, and in fact only the URL or some meta data in a small number of bytes is bou

The NFTs are not broken at all. People just paid for the URL and meta-data stored on the blockchain. I don't think anything has changed on the blockchain. The real issue is that people didn't understand what they were actually pay

There is a huge difference between generating a series of notes, and generating actual audio. There can be dynamics in both. Just focusing on the actual notation is a much simpler problem. Trying to generate audio, requires not just notes,

Images are only correlated on very small space/time scales. Audio/Music has correlation on multiple over-lapping time scales. We know this is true because Video filters are usually very small, bilinear, bi-cubic, operating on only

This is one side of the argument. The other side of the argument is that what matters more than the raw sensor data is constructing an accurate representation of the actual 3D environment. So an argument could be made (which is what this gu

Both methods have trade-offs as in there are positive and negative merits for both approaches. Using both systems requires the sensor data to be fused together to make real-time decisions. This is the whole point, why people are trivializin

Lidar vs. Stereo camera vs. multiple cameras vs. ultrasound is a separate problem that engineers are trying to solve, not how can we sell cheaper mops. The decision to not use Lidar, as he says, and is the common debate being explored by pe

You have to eventually decide to trust one or the other, in real-time. So having multiple failure modes doesn't solve the problem entirely. This is called 'Fusion', meaning you have to fuse information coming from multiple se

No, that is over simplification. It's not simply distances, you have to detect objects, motion, shadows, corners and all sorts of phenomena.

Everyone has limited R&D and processing bandwidth. It's not just Andrej saying this, but anyone working on engineering autonomous vehicles. It has nothing to do with the cost of additional eyes. This is over-simplifying the problem

You are greatly overestimating the functionality of the sensors, and underestimating the importance of the rest of the system. Sensors are important, but the majority of the work, effort and expense is involved with post-sensor processing.

The majority of comments surrounding stereo-camera/lidar questions have a ridiculously simplified idea of the problem. It's obviously the case that 'more sensor good, less sensor bad'. This is frankenstein's monster

After Intel took over Altera, the focus has switched primarily to Data Center processing. Just look at both AMD/Xilinx and Intel/Altera websites and you can see a big difference. If you are a Data Center Engineer than Altera is pr
