exactly, as a startup founder i wouldn’t commit to a yearly reserved ec2 instance for a year let alone an employee.

vs. i can hire in canada/ukraine/india/pakistan/china for a more skilled person with no such bs restrictions.

sure i am being dramatic but my point stands. if my company can’t be fluid and can’t react fast to market due to bs unions and backward laws of some land, that place is what i avoid.

i have had to avoid hiring excellent candidate(s) from EU, just because they would become unflushable if it comes to that.

how is it in practice (if you have tried). I have some vulkan work and I am too lazy to setup a new ec2 for it.

i am dealing with ros these days for calibrating my custom hardware. it really is gROSs.

Thankfully, I have fully isolated ROS parts into their own dockerfiles.

yes that’s what i am working on these days but there is a need for a generally available neural chip (see google’s coral as one attempt). in my tests, esp32s3 is very very slow for any model with conv2d involved.

i just want a tiiiny gpu for $10 so i can run smaller models at higher speed than possible with xtensa/rp2040 having limited simd support etc.

i wish this didn’t use mpu6050 imu, which is obsolete and unavailable it seems.

but i guess they used it due to existing code/drivers widely available for it and esp32.

this is amazing. on similar note, I have spent last few months trying to fit visual inertial odometry into esp32. Combining that with this would be insane (and so cheap!)
