3D reconstruction, from stereo or mono camera, have both. Object detection, text reading. Ideally it should recognize the speaker, simple gestures. Take audio, feed speech to LLM, get the output. Being able to detect and move out of the way of walking humans. Most of it has been done, like 3d structure and localization from motion. There are reference implementations. I've done it before too.
It's sort of open ended project. Having LLM with vision on mobile robot with arm.. has a lot of applications. AGX Orin 64GB is capable of running serious models.
People drive to work anyway. A vacation or two every year is probably not even a double digit percent of a person’s total fossil fuel usage, and gives them a lot of happiness and reason to work and do things that are good for society.
Why is there a segment of the population that wants to live in poverty and squalor?
How much pollution is okay? Why not argue for efficiency standards rather than bans?
Everything could be said to “harm people”. Banning travel could make some people depressed and who knows what that could lead to? Or it might lead to a less connected world and less familiarity with people in other places, and maybe makes wars more likely?
Legit question: if I replicate a patent for a personal non profit use, is this infringement? Perhaps it is because I'm benefiting from the intelectual property.
In the USA there's an exemption for research use of patents, specifically for "amusement, to satisfy idle curiosity, or for strictly philosophical inquiry." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Research_exemption
!> Yes, replicating a patented invention, even for personal, non-profit use, is technically considered patent infringement. A patent grants the inventor the exclusive right to make, use, sell, and distribute the patented invention for a certain period (usually 20 years from the filing date).
Depends on how much power you need (speed times force, acceleration and deceleration...) and how much stiffness you need (can't bend?).
Also depends on how much travel you need. It is easier to get 50 micron accuracy over a total length of 100 micron compared to a total length of 1 meter.
Microwave heating is not a fourth form of heat transfer as it name implies: microwave radiation. Yes, the heat is not being radiated by a thermal source of microwaves, but it is radiation being absorbed. Hence radiation is the mechanism.
Rotational momentum is also heat as it is kinect energy related to movement, linear or not.
I'm speaking from a practical cooking perspective, not a technical physics perspective. The radiation from flames or the sun affects food very differently than microwaves do.
For the same reason, I probably messed up other physics technicalities. It would have been nice if I added a caveat I guess, but so it goes. My mental model may be simpler than the truth, but it's a lot better for achieving practical results in the kitchen than nothing than "microwaves heat stuff up fast", which is what I had before and is a really shit model that fails to explain most of their odd behavior.
