TL:DR The stuff the dedicated module is doing will go inside specific Mediatek chips on specific premium monitors

Really weird it's taken this long - I remember reading that the modules were expensive and assumed it was just because they were early generations and Nvidia was still working things out

I get to work from home every day, and so does my wife.
We each have our office space so we can work in peace but at any point in the day we can just have a chat, we can have lunch together, we can have our evening planned and be out of the door at 5pm

It's just all so much better than the old office-based life

It was actually pretty great when I worked for a company making things here in england:
"That needs to move 50cm" meant it had to move exactly 500mm
"That needs to move a foot" meant just kick it over about a foot

It was just an unspoken thing that metric meant precise and imperial was just caveman measuring

I like to shoot for the middle ground: skim for key functions and check those, run code locally to see if it does roughly what I think it should do and if it does merge it into dev and see what breaks.

Small PRs get nitpicked to death since they're almost certainly around more important code

We had a zoom call with a very well reviewed, recommended broker local to us. Next day I get a spam call pretending to be the bank we talked about the most as a lender, but that we currently have no business with. My paranoia has been at 100% ever since

Assuming a ground clearance of 10cm, and a wheelbase of 2.4m (source: my ass) then you can construct an arc under the wheels

This arc says you could drive such a car on an earth with radius as small as 7.25m. Actually, it could be slightly smaller because of where the wheels would contact, but I've lost interest

You know what I mean! Never seen that exact kind of plant but yeah, automated heavy industry gets intense real fast

For me it's the acceleration and speed they don't comprehend.even "safe" collaborative robots can accelerate to huge speeds in the blink of an eye, and being electric they'll do it at maximum force

I've driven one into my head before and its remarkable how soft it was thanks to the tech involved but movies miss the fact that if it wanted, even a small arm could have gone through me

If you ever work on a modern industrial system then you'll see all kinds of rules, safety measures and more fun

It often makes small jobs extremely tedious, but I always remind myself it's because the robot arm I'm looking at is strong enough to throw me across the room or crush my bones.

I love burgers, I hate mayo. This has caused me more pain than most would understand
