The people telling you to write C-style C++ code are actively praying on your downfall

I've never been given a single piece of valuable, actionable career advice in my entire life that was relevant to me and my personal and professional aspirations. Despite all the "mentors", "advisers", and "managers" I've had over the years. Had to figure it all out on my own,

Why do people who don’t like immigrants even care about the h1b thing. This is a small number of immigrants and most of them go to a city that you would not step foot in. They’re also highly civilized intelligent people. Aren’t you mad about Venezuelan gangs

Nvidia plans to launch its latest generation of compact computers for humanoid robots, called Jetson Thor, in the 1st half of 2025 as it seeks growth via robotics next year, the FT reports. “The ChatGPT moment for physical AI and robotics is around the corner,” said Deepu Talla,

Started a cybersecurity firm. Landed my first six figures client project. Working on it now while traveling the world. 2025… we’re just getting started 🥂

ai hype bros these days: “you have no idea what’s coming” “everything is going to change” “this is something new we aren’t ready” adds no value, only unnecessary hype

The biggest lie in robotics: "You need expensive hardware to get started." I built AirSim specifically so anyone could start with just a laptop. The future of robotics isn't in fancy labs. It's in bedrooms and garages.

remember when i said that we should derail ai by pushing out a ton of sloppy shitty code for it to train on? i’d like to extend a personal thank you to the vibe coding community, keep doing your thing boys.

“Oh, you completely reproduced the game I wrote in an ai simulation? Keep up the good work, this is impressive.”

I SEE all of you cloning my code. Why aren’t you starring it? I went out of my way to MIT license it and you’re STILL NOT STARRING IT

1/ In any fast growing organization – one of the best feelings as a manager or CEO is having someone who works for you that I call “Safe Hands.”

It’s hilarious listening to IB kids talk about how late they worked and then in reality they call sitting in the office eating at a table with coworkers from 6-9pm waiting for comments “working”

Relevant since this topic is coming back up

As someone that works on this problem professionally and actually respects what it takes to field similar tech, I’m lowkey offended what these people think they can solve it in 2 weeks

> new gps-denied nav startup launches > ask if it's an INS or a visual nav system > they don't understand > explain the difference > they laugh and say "it's a good nav solution" > look at the data > it's VPS

From Dan Wang’s new book. Interesting thesis. Engineers do tend to think in terms of solving problems. Lawyers profit when there are unsolvable problems. 🇨🇳

Real robotaxi companies like Waymo and @Zoox have solved sensor fusion. Tesla had sensor confusion, and gave up.

Found John Ʌ Konrad V's alt

when did SF become the mecca of performative “founders” and insufferable third world strivers ?

Interesting/encouraging to see even the most advanced AI lab is using EKFs and MAP estimation for their robotics work (I.e., us state estimators are not obsolete from VLAs yet)
