I wonder what fraction of the hardware goes into hosting the human operator and into ensuring their safety. How much hardware cam be optimized away when there is no longer a human operator?

At first, yes. Longer term, self-driving construction vehicles will likely change the entire market - perhaps similar to how self-driving passenger cars would change that market. Vehicles will be designed differently and consumption-based b

With the construction equipment market at $160B, this certainly is quite a sizable niche. Specializing in it is clever. And an $80M round sounds sane these days

It certainly is a good idea. Don't mean to hijack the thread, but I've been toying with the idea of having users use a data flow diagram to structure complex spreadsheets. Still have a pre-prototype stage and I'ld love to get

Interesting. As I understand it, you use a spreadsheet as input and then create the data flow diagram. I certainly see how seeing the data flow diagram means better clarity and error-finding. So here is a question for you? What if we take i

True. As a broker of sorts, it is essential that AirBnB withhold details of the two parties. But the company need not hide that they do so. The certainly would not be ashamed if news broke out that they do so. The transparency I speak about

The debate of more vs. less transparency is not trivial. Regulatory and competitive considerations make this difficult. Sometimes it is simply human nature to be secretive - particularly when it comes to bad news. The article focuses on tra

I am not involved with Stypi but I think the key points from the article are "it wants to let native applications like Photoshop sync changes between multiple users" and that "they’ve laid the groundwork to let other applications sync". In

Congrats on the launch Stypi team. Just curious about the underlying tech. Are you using operational transformation (OT) like google docs does OR are you using an alternative such as causal trees (CT)?

Reminds me of Paul Graham's observation: "Twitter is important because it's a new protocol. Fundamentally it's a messaging protocol where you don't specify the recipients. It's really more of a discovery than an invention; that square was a

There isn't much room for half-commitment while on a video call and the interpersonal aspects of the job come to the front. This changes the way one works. But it isn't quite that novel. Face-to-face interaction we have in the real world ca

Interesting work that looks promising. In general though, is it just me or are we yet to see an API/library/protocol that makes it 'simple' to add real time capabilities to an app?
