Very clever packaging of a connector

Why not frame things from the perspective of rewarding good performance?

This guy knows marketing. Agreed it would not have been as controversial

Imagine being an engineer on the Siri team, must be so demoralizing.

Never crossed my mind to self host my own music streaming server, great idea!

The correct solution is 10.7Pwh. We are often exposed to 'Peta' when dealing with data.

On the transponders off point, I imagine soon we will have enough satellites such that we can map every object on the surface of the earth (specially something as large as a boat).

Could even see it through clouds using radar.

Meh lines the pockets of Tim Cook. Hard pass.

I see a lot of surf cams online, are those usually custom hardware?

Interesting idea. I can build this and open source it. I imagine there is equivalent hardware over LTE already?

I am teaching myself how to build a robot quadruped (aka 'robot dog') from scratch, including an ML controller to make it move in animated ways.

I'm also documenting every step of the process and uploading it to YouTube, which means I am also teaching myself how to edit videos :)

This is an awesome reply, thank you so much for explaining this, and for the links!

I just quit my job at a SaaS. What am I doing with my life... The SpaceX team just caught the biggest rocket in history with a giant arm, we all need to dream bigger!

I find that this is the best advice for life, not just making your own games. Do what you're most excited to do :)

I think so? I'll check with the city of Redwood City / San Mateo county. Good call!

Just ordered one, wish there was one for microplastics too (and whichever other contaminants that I'm not aware of).

Is there any cheap way to test the quality of my water? I did some Googling around, looks like there are services that will do this for a fee but didn't look particularly affordable.

Is that a bad thing? They claim that incarcerated workers receive the same pay as their civilian colleagues. IMO seems like a positive.

Microsoft already has Github Copilot. I always thought OpenAI would eventually acquire them (they already hold a stake in them).

Never heard of these guys, do they even have a product?

Regardless, team looks promising. Former CTO of Github, supposedly the guy who incubated Copilot.

Genuine question, what would you use instead and why?

I'm keeping this project moving, this time around we designed the shoulder joint and torso, and got the shoulder moving for the first time (so now each limb has 3 working actuators).

There are many good extensions with somewhat similar features, the ideal extension might come down to personal preference but I've been building double.bot [0] after spending months using Github Copilot and running into the same bugs over and over (wrote about it here [1]) and I think we've done a good job at building the ideal extension for professional developers.

Can I ask why? I personally have been coding with LLMs since the davinci-003 days and don't see myself going back.

Granted I am biased, I am the co-founder of Double which is an extension for VS Code. But that's also why I'm curious to hear why are you against extensions (maybe we can learn from your experience).

Just added 'build a new landing page' to my to-do, appreciate the feedback!

Anything else we could do to make double.bot a more compelling option for you?

Previously posted in HN [0] about how I was going to build a robot dog and document every second of it for Youtube.

Wasn't sure if there's interest for this type of content amongst our community but that post was my most upvoted post in personal history (not a huge number but I'll take it). Was really excited and it's super encouraging to see other people upvote/follow along :)

In this part 2 I finally assembled the first leg, did some last minute CAD redesign to eliminate parts, and starting coding the servos. Ran into a ton of issues around properly initializing servos and position control, and then leg kinematics and how to model a walking motion also kicked my ass. I've left all of it in the footage, unedited, because I think someone might learn from it (?) or at least question my decisions (which would be a good exercise too).

Video is super long. My inspiration was watching George Hotz programming videos (hours long) which I really enjoy and thought there should be a hardware equivalent

Can I ask why did you ask in the first place? Is this something that you're trying to figure out too?

That's very interesting, I had a ERS-111 and I also mentioned on another video that I'm a huge fan of the Furby (also had one growing up, it was less smart but through emotional cues it felt so 'alive').

Give me a couple of years and I'll bring back AI toys. Also AIBO is an amazing name, Japan always comes up with such good names man

Here's part 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGFMXu0In7w as promised :)
