Considering a hardware robotics startup right now. Can you expand on this : All the "user friendly" gimmicks are just obstacles in their way.
And what were some of your other conclusions having worked on an arm solution?

The lab i works had had a rethink robot for research purposes. It seem to be part of a wave of consumer-facing robots that have all since folded. With the exception of Waymo, DJI, and skydio. You have to remember at the time eveyone was searching for the next big computing platform, and it wasn’t that clear the iPhone would be it. After the iPhone succeeded, hardware investors became even more convinced, especially when money was cheap.

The same shifting criteria were applied to Jews. In the early 1900s proficiency in Latin was required because only prep school offered Latin, so it was an implied filter that’s nonetheless “impartial”. Then Jews became very good at Latin, so the ivies phased out Latin as a criteria and began admitting talent from the interior, because Jews did not settle there. So this whole game is applies to Asian Americans now, not at all surprising

Writing a full CRUD todo app on both web and iOS helped me understand things a lot better. The most important thing is to keep it simple, and by going across platforms you can see the importance of good data representation design.
The idea is to start off by making bad decisions, and slowly refactoring your way to good abstraction, this helps you intuit the reason for abstractions.

So I did a lot of ML work in grad school and have also built 4 iOS apps and two web apps. I can tell you building statistical models is not a very interesting grind, it’s mostly cleaning data and fiddling parameters. It’s also unlikely anyone would hire non-stat/math degreed person to do that stuff. On the other hand you’re prob goood at turning models into a. Usable product. Here’s a recent library to do that in NODE

I read it before studying cs and I thought it was fascinating and made me want to study it. After studying it at the grad school level I re read it and found the book somewhat pedantic. It’s a bit like the black swan in the regard: it package advanced under grad level stem topics with colorful anecdotes and musings.

From public information it's a matter of price and "appearance." No one who's half serious about understanding how the system work would use cameras alone, but remember of all the companies who's serious about putting self driving cars on the road, Tesla is the only one who designs, manufactures and sells cars. Incidentally, Tesla is also the only car company pushing camera only as a "solution" which again, it is not. All other outfits are tech pure plays, so their incentive is more geared towards a working system, because that's the only thing they can sell aside from the dream. If Tesla fails with a camera-only self driving car system, they can still sell cars. Source: used to work in robotics, all my classmates from grad school work or have worked at a self driving car company.
Re:Apple’s use of Swift and SwiftUI in iOS 15
on Sunday December 19, 2021 @09:09PM (#29620831)
it has become significantly better, especially that of SwiftUI. When I followed the doc this summer, I actually got up to speed very quickly on swiftUI. I will say Rayenderlich has a habit of either over-engineering things, or engineering things in a way that's not needed in my use case. So I find his tutorials to be a reference at best.
