Nobody is saying that they haven't made it work with or without the guy. The key here is that you're essentially saying their culture is OK because the end justify the means, but I don't think that's a company that I'd want to work for. If you do, that's fine, but having warnings like this are nice for the people who don't want to work in environments like that.

I think something that can help this situation is to not use "big" machine learning words such as "patch embedding".

This is one of the issues with a lot of machine learning articles out there (not to nitpick on you, sorry); there are almost always easy and illustrative examples that you can use to break this down into a simpler explanation.

I'd be curious to learn more about the motor selection for the complete tear down and rebuild. One of the biggest buys of the Solo (in the article) design is the 'high bandwidth' current/torque control, and the price/performance seemed (at the time) to be pretty great.

The MIT cheetah plans (specifically, having access to things like their motors) are not open source.

The robot definitely stands. In fact, it can do pretty dynamic things:

That said, the platform does have its faults and requires a lot of hardware maintenance, but it certainly can stand and move around (walk around).

42 has been solved. See the update at the bottom of the page.

One can argue that food delivery isn’t really just a “luxury,” but probably best in terms of preventing spread during the coronavirus pandemic.

I mean...you can extrapolate this line of thinking to any piece of technology...
It isn’t removing the url bar. It’s hiding the full address of the website in the URL box. Your screen real estate is exactly the same.

Yeah I figured so, but didn’t want to look up examples since I was on mobile and thus stuck with my more conservative value of decade+.

Honestly, convolution reverb is already highly accessible. It’s a feature in $50 (and probably free) reverb plug-ins for anybody that does audio. They’re relatively easy to implement and have probably been around for a decade+. As the OP said, the audio things they mentioned aren’t new or adding any accessibility imo

I have no clue where you're getting your information from. But as an ex SpaceX'er with friends still working there and friends at Tesla, they absolutely work at least 70-80 hours a week. This is not an 'anomaly', but the norm. In addition, the expectations are incredibly high.

Hey there!

If you're interested in the mechanical components of the robot arms, they all probably use harmonic drives.

Hey there,

Any way I can talk to you about Planet Labs? I've had a few questions for a while regarding some of the work and opportunities in general.
