I hope you guys are successful because I would love to see more US options in this space. Realistically, you can get boards in 7 days from China, and competing with them on price seems like a challenge. So that leaves ITAR and people who ne

I'm not sure I see the distinction you're making between 3D design and other spatial reasoning tasks. You can use RL to teach navigation or video game play too. Does that mean these tasks are not spatial reasoning? Additionally, 3

Out of curiosity I gave Fable (on max effort) a CAD task yesterday, which was to design a space efficient carrying case for a set of fasteners in my repair kit for work. It used CadQuery to generate a STEP file. The result was pretty much e

I don't agree with the conclusion here. The issue in the sports court example could just as easily be addressed by adding granularity. If the system allowed users more granularity in the length of their sessions, the undesirable strate

Thank you for sharing this! The part of this problem that I’ve found most challenging over time is keeping quantities up to date. I wonder about a function where you could say “I built 25 of these modules” and it would deduct the quantities

I’m sure that Apple did tons of A/B testing, focus groups etc. with different image processing parameters to arrive at the settings that their phones use for photos, and from these comments it’s clear that a lot of people prefer the iP

I'm biased but I think the most interesting opportunities involve software that interacts with the physical world in some way. These projects will definitely involve some electrical + mechanical engineering, product design etc., but I&

Yeah I agree. The market for companies that do something in a web browser may be saturated, but outside of that world it feels like there are more opportunities than ever. For example in the space of AI + robotics we’ve barely scratched the

Skimmed it, so perhaps I missed something, but what is the purpose of reputation if negative facts can never be incorporated into one’s reputation? Seems like the harm caused to a person through true defamation is outweighed by the benefit
