I think you've just lowered the risk of a bad hire for the company, which might allow them to "take a chance" on candidates they might otherwise pass on.

I use it all the time now, switching between claude code, codex, and cursor. I prefer CC and codex for now but everyone is copying everyone else's homework. I do a lot of green field research adjacent work, or work directly with messy

To be fair to the agent... I think there is some behind the scenes prompting from claude code (or open code, whichever is being used here) for plan vs build mode, you can even see the agent reference that in its thought trace. Basically I t

Can you say more about the nav stack? I thought nav2 was considered one of the better more mature packages in ROS2, but it's not my area of expertise. | As robotics moves toward end-to-end AI systems, stuff needs to stay on GPU memory,

In my experience a lot of tech companies, at least in the Bay Area, have all copied this system.

Not sure if I agree with the christian references being incidental ... the first book is literally a retelling of the The Canterbury Tales, all the characters are on a pilgrimage. there are a bunch of religious groups with at least one bein

This is very interesting because I see a lot of AI detractors point to the original study as proof that AI is overhyped and nothing to worry about. In this new study the findings are essentially reversed (20% slowdown to 20% speedup).

The study was designed to have devs who are comfortable with AI perform 50% of tasks with AI and 50% without. So the problem is the population of "Developers who use AI regularly but are willing to do tasks without AI" is shrinkin

Very cool! shameless self promotion but check out greenwave-monitor[1] for the 'Diagnostics TUI'. I'll get it into the buildfarm soon. [1] https://github.com/NVIDIA-ISAAC-ROS/greenwave_monitor

I think a lot of people assume they will become highly paid Agent orchestrators or some such. I don't think anyone really knows where things are heading.

In addition to what the other responses said: 1. Share a cohesive and inspiring vision for the project. 2. Understand your skills, strengths/weaknesses etc and try to give you work that challenges you / help you grow / are in

Who is buying the old cards? They can't be used for gaming, if there was money to be made I think they would be doing it.

You are correct, NTP prefers to jump first (if needed) and then slew afterwards (which is exactly what we want!), although it can jump again if the offset is too large. In our case the jumps where because we also have PTP disciplining the s

MIPI CSI, with USB cameras I usually am getting jitter in the millisecond range.

by sgillen 9mo ago
We don't use NTP, but for robotics, stereo camera synchronization we often want the two frames to be within ~10us of eachother. For sensor fusion we then also need a lidar on PTP time to be translated to the same clock domain as camera

Late to the party here, but you should definitely be using pytorch 25.09 (or whatever is latest when you go to check) rather than 24.10. That's a year old pytorch on new hardware, I suspect a lot of these bugs have been fixed.

It has a unified memory architecture, so the 128G is shared directly between CPU and GPU. Though it's slower than dGPU VRAM.

There are two tests and by default it ranks by the score in the "offline test"

Also interesting in the example shared that 03 thought for 5 seconds for the female case and 46 seconds for the male case. Wish we had access to the chain of thought.

Robotics is sorely lacking front end devs and UI/UX guys. Most companies won’t hire any until they are already pretty established, but they might hire some. You can check out companies like foxglove who make GUI tools that robotics co

I still think there is value in chats and retaining context. But there is also value in starting clean when necessary. Giving users control and teaching people how to use it is the way IMO.

Compressing existing models is exactly what we are talking about here.

Videos like these are so often sped up or Teleop, I don't think it's really a jab at anyone specifically, just making it clear this video is showing an Autonomous agent without any speedup.

> why announce the prototype with the lab demos? Lol, you need to drive up hype and convince investors you are not falling behind. Not even being cynical here, I think it's a good idea from a business perspective.

It's just a joke, because Sanderson finished Wheel of Time after Robert Jordan died.

I switched because all my coworkers use VSC, just easier to have extensions like linters and goto definitions synced, we can help each other with any issues in the workflow. Still use emacs + org mode for notes though, and spent quite a lot

Kinda agree with the other replies to you, the edge case you carved out is the target use case, this is not meant to compete against the 3060, it's meant to be put on robots or other embedded use cases (even as a devkit). 3060 has more
