Could you share some of those applications which are better solved with an FPGA? As a student I have some ideas but am interested to hear more.
Exactly, I know because I did the same thing!
If you capture a video and SLAM map of the whole space, you could use some VQA model like cosmos reason offline to extract key points and descriptions. Maybe even plan the route offline for the open ended task like “clean kitchen”. Then load the route and all you need is localization and obstacle avoidance
Admittedly, my use of CUDA and Metal is fairly surface-level. But I have had great success using LLMs to convert whole gaussian splatting CUDA codebases to Metal. It's not ideal for maintainability and not 1:1, but if CUDA was a moat for NVIDIA, I believe LLMs have dealt a blow to it.
It's really tiresome. I am happy to have to a conversation if approached, but don't tell me I "should" do the same to others
New term for web scraping just dropped
To do gaussian splatting anywhere near in real time, you need good depth data to initialize the gaussian positions. This can of course come from monocular depth but then you are back to monocular depth vs lidar.
Kalman filters so real. I think part of it is that LLMs suggest it as a solution all the time

Every indie hacker knows the feeling: re-entering the same test data on every build, or spending hours writing integration tests. With Refinery, all you have to do is add a few lines of code, and the SDK will record how you naturally test your app. You can then replay all your test cases with just one click from the dashboard.The common approach to testing is to write test files, but it's...

“A Drop of Freedom” reminds me of Apple's old flower wallpapers with the black background

minimap exists in Xcode but it's not quite the same. It only shows `// MARK: ` comments.
Would love for Xcode to have more language support. Maybe an lsp client.
https://atulya.meIt's a little personal blog that I made with Gatsby. Looking to create my own SSG over the summer once school ends.
When apple cut the commission from 30% to 15% for small devs, most app developers didn't lower their prices. The savings went to developers. I think it will be similar here
This looks promising, best of luck.
A lot of technologies to solve waste problems have been invented and launched, but very few get used at a large scale.
Some questions:
What do you see as the biggest roadblocks to adoption of your product? What makes AirMyne more attractive than the existing options? https://time.com/6125303/direct-air-carbon-capture-infrastru...
It's fairly popular for Mac. CocoaPods and homebrew are written in ruby
I just use reader view. Works surprisingly often. Some sites (WSJ for example) don't work though
