It takes hundreds of millions to build a warehouse. Amazon has tons of them. Retrofitting things is capital intensive.

I blame the transit agency for those missteps though - it doesn't have to be like that. Take for example CUMTD (mtd.org), the transit agency serving Champaign-Urbana, a college town in Illinois with about 200k people. It's an exce

Honestly I don't think Anthropic cares about you moving over to them - it's pretty evident that they already have more demand than they can handle. I've always had better experience with Claude in day-to-day coding and text w

1X is different. This is purely a hardware demo, they are doing pure teleop on the software side, no AI in the demo (except maybe RL for walking). 1X's bit thing was always their mechanically compliant safe hardware.

It's teleop, they are pretty open about it. It's not autonomous. They do have an RL controller running for the legs, but it's just an intermediate controller and it probably get high level commands from a teleoperator. The up

When Valve came out with their VR headset that had base stations, everybody thought that’d be the holy grail, that you can never achieve better localization and tracking without base stations, and a base station free method can never be bet

Vanilla vscode has some version of this in the debugging mode, you'd perhaps need to install their Python extensions but that's about it.

Yes! Rerun can definitely make your life a lot easier! Rerun natively supports the server and the viewer being on different devices ( https://rerun.io/docs/reference/sdk/operating-modes ). In your case, in the

I am not the hiring manager, and unfortunately a lot of interviews and hiring decisions happen at org level or at my manager level. These are mostly sophomores/juniors - folks who went through school in post-COVID, post-LLM era with a

I am a robotics engineer/scientist and I do shit ton of visualization of all kind of high-fidelity/high-rate data, often in a streaming setting - time series at a few thousand Hz, RGB/depth images from multiple cameras, debug

I agree that they weren't explicitly meant to represent geography, but implicitly they do, right? Are there cases where this is violated? In other words, is it safe to assume that for entity in a zip code is less than x distance away f

Route 4 (the helicopter route along the river) has a maximum altitude of 200 feet for helicopter. From the crash it seemed like the helicopter pilot wasn't strictly following the ceiling.

Unfortunately it's not gonna happen. The traffic at DCA only keeps going up, and I've heard chatter that it's because a lot of congressman and senators prefer taking flights from DCA instead of driving to Dulles or BWI.

Thank you! I’ll talk to the startup that’s hiring me soon to set up a consult with you through formal channels. Appreciate the responses here!

There’s a cap on how many EB1 green cards they give out per year, and there’s also a per country cap within that cap (no country cannot cross 7% of total cap) Unfortunately, there are a lot of EB1C greencard applicants from my country (Indi

Thank you so much for the response! Could you share a bit more on what the preparation looks like? It’s something I’ve seen vaguely mentioned in forums but no one shared the specifics of the prep. Thanks!

Hey Peter! Thanks for doing this! I’m trying to understand the dual intent nature of O1A. I’m a PhD student with EB2-NIW and EB1A approved. Unfortunately, I am not expecting a green card in the next 6-12 years due to my country of birth. I

Given how widespread PyPI usage is, I'm surprised they only have one full time security staff. I mean I guess it makes sense, usage doesn't always mean they get more donations/money, but damn.

As someone with admittedly no formal CS education, I've been using conda for all of my grad school and never managed to break it. I create a virtual environment for every project. I install almost all packages with pip, except for any

Someone I know got it recently. If you're getting with the API and all the sensors it was close to 60k including customs and all of that.

My theory as to why all the bigtech companies are investing so much money in video generation models is simple: they are trying to eliminate the threat of influencers/content creators to their ad revenue. Think about it, almost everyon

There isn't a significant upside either. At the end of the day, buring cable throughout it's way is very expensive while damaging it at one spot, even if it's buried, is not that hard or expensive.

What makes you say TPU has zero chance against growing NVIDIA? If anything, now is the best time for TPU to grow and I'd say investing in TPU gave Google an edge. There is no other large scale LLM that was trained on anything but NVIDI

I mean Jeff Dean is probably more ML researcher than probably 90% of the ML researchers out there. Sure, he may not be working on state of the art stuff himself; but he's too up the chain to do that.

Other countries, maybe. But China is never gonna conquer or do reasonable business in India for geopolitical reasons.

Oh yeah of course, I personally have a physical screen that shows live feed from my local transit agency's GTFS real time feed. I was just pointing out the app for those who don't have the time/interest to build something phy

This sounds like a fun project, but there are existing apps whose default page is "when is the next bus/train coming up on stops near me" Transit App ( https://transitapp.com/ ) is one of them and I freaking lo
