oh wow. i hadn’t hesrd if orbstack. i am sick of docker issues on my og m1.

why would i establish a local office in say paris if laws are so hostile towards startups.

This mindset is what moves us forward. Union of soft nations don’t add much these days.

many cases isn’t competitive when i can find equal talent with no such restrictions.
Re:Googler... ex-Googler on Monday April 14, 2025 @01:13PM (#43683570)
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.
Re:Googler... ex-Googler on Monday April 14, 2025 @01:09PM (#43683512)
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.

outlier.
Re:Googler... ex-Googler on Monday April 14, 2025 @01:07PM (#43683485)
that’s only what employee handbook says.
Re:Googler... ex-Googler on Monday April 14, 2025 @02:57AM (#43678740)
i have had to avoid hiring excellent candidate(s) from EU, just because they would become unflushable if it comes to that.
Re:Googler... ex-Googler on Monday April 14, 2025 @02:55AM (#43678729)
they are doing great!
Re:Googler... ex-Googler on Monday April 14, 2025 @02:52AM (#43678701)
dignity sure, unions are just corporate blackmailing.

in any company, plans change. if that means going on a multi-year “managing out” of useless employees, idk why would i hire in EU.

Re:Googler... ex-Googler on Monday April 14, 2025 @02:29AM (#43678595)
that’s very business hostile tbh. I wouldn’t start a company there.
Re:Google Is Winning on Every AI Front on Saturday April 12, 2025 @11:50AM (#43665427)
but that would kill monetization no?
Re:Google Is Winning on Every AI Front on Saturday April 12, 2025 @09:29AM (#43664192)
now we know what ilya saw.
we use voice or input from phone (we get a prompt on phone when we highlight a textbox on apple tv)
Re:Apple M3 Ultra on Thursday March 06, 2025 @09:30AM (#43280621)
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.
that’s exactly my question. why can’t he depend on C API and just consider it is memory safe and all.
Re:Robotics and ROS2 Course by University of Eastern Finland on Sunday January 19, 2025 @09:32PM (#42764396)
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.

“one in 4 eventually drown”… does this mean it’s a recent evolutionary trick and selection hasn’t settled yet.
Re:Nvidia bets on robotics to drive future growth on Wednesday January 01, 2025 @02:25PM (#42568515)
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.

Re:Nvidia bets on robotics to drive future growth on Wednesday January 01, 2025 @01:34AM (#42564349)
if they really want to bet on robotics, I want them to release a $10 variant of jetson board.
Re:Build a Low-Cost Drone Using ESP32 on Tuesday December 24, 2024 @01:53AM (#42500146)
damn you are right!
Re:Build a Low-Cost Drone Using ESP32 on Monday December 23, 2024 @11:54PM (#42499818)
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.

Re:Build a Low-Cost Drone Using ESP32 on Monday December 23, 2024 @11:47PM (#42499796)
i see it as just accelerating normalizing cheap drones everywhere.
Re:Build a Low-Cost Drone Using ESP32 on Monday December 23, 2024 @10:12PM (#42499443)
just upload it to jlcpcb and get it delivered with components soldered.
Re:Build a Low-Cost Drone Using ESP32 on Monday December 23, 2024 @09:59PM (#42499383)
i don’t see your contact info.
Re:Build a Low-Cost Drone Using ESP32 on Monday December 23, 2024 @09:38PM (#42499286)
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!)
