droneserver was indeed the abstraction mentioned in https://arxiv.org/pdf/2601.15486 . The video/image perception is why I started looking into this domain in the first place, but I haven't gotten there yet.

I was looking into the MCP route too, and found some libraries abstracting mavlink for this use case (there’s at least one white paper documenting failure modes of LLMs trying to issue mavlink commands without an abstraction), but realized

I live in the US. There is a history of armed forces being used against the people generally striking. If you include large protests, even more. > If your claim is that violence is justifyable - how makes the determination for such justi

I see quite a lot of "violence is never justified" sentiment throughout the comments. I ask as a "thought experiment" - why? At least from my understanding, the history of America is riddled with working class uprisings

I find this quite cynical, but I also can't speak to half of your family, ha! I am one of the folks who, in my youth, purchased land in between Fort Garland and San Luis, with dreams of off-grid living. I succeeded, mostly, but not wit

100%. Lots of things work as markers, too! I ended up substituting markers for taped-on construction paper when scanning stainless steel surfaces with curves, the tape serving as feature for the scanner to pickup...worked well enough :)

Don't feel like a noob, SketchUp's interface and controls are AMAZING (or were in 2016, which is where I am stuck because I do not want to "upgrade"). I have tried many modeling tools over the years, but always come back

The Einstar Vega goes for $1,799 USD, which is about 2x the price of a standalone iPhone. The scans will be better than anything you can get using a mobile phone (though it's essentially just that?). Lots of videos on YT comparing the

A complaint from 2001 regarding the addition of the abstract stained-glass Windows of Cefalù in a Sicilian cathedral: > In most countries, this kind of modification, based on artistic whim, ceased to be a serious social force by the 1980

> How many RV disposals are nearby? Do they have the necessary volume? Will anyone pack up their entire permanent home once a week to tow it to the dump station? Those are great questions! And those are the questions the local government

I agree with you to some degree, but if your statement were 100% true, you would be able to do both of these things below in my area: - Store (not live in) an RV on an empty lot you own - Use composting as a primary means of sewage disposal

I never thought I would see the SLV in the New Yorker! A friend and I purchased 5 acres in the SLV around 2008 from a guy on Craigslist for 5K. We had no serious intentions at the time. But I was laid off from aerospace in 2009 after the cr

I worked on some components of SOFIA - the "garage door" actuators - at my first job after engineering school in 2008 ish. The actuators, 1 upper and 1 lower if I recall correctly, had large Titanium gears which required lubricant

I was wondering that too. If I wanted to design a wood-burning apparatus that would be efficient and last 1000 years, I'd use a design that was more like a masonry stove (centrally located on the inside of the house). In any future (I

If you are looking for more material to help you better understand your soil, the best book I've read on the subject was A Soil Owner’s Manual: How to Restore and Maintain Soil Health. It takes a "just the facts" approach, wh
