asadalt··on Development on Apple Silicon with UTM
oh wow. i hadn’t hesrd if orbstack. i am sick of docker issues on my og m1.
asadalt··on Googler... ex-Googler
why would i establish a local office in say paris if laws are so hostile towards startups.
asadalt··on Googler... ex-Googler
This mindset is what moves us forward. Union of soft nations don’t add much these days.
asadalt··on Googler... ex-Googler
too late
asadalt··on Googler... ex-Googler
done
asadalt··on Googler... ex-Googler
many cases isn’t competitive when i can find equal talent with no such restrictions.
asadalt··on Googler... ex-Googler
exactly, as a startup founder i wouldn’t commit to a yearly reserved ec2 instance for a year let alone an employee.
asadalt··on Googler... ex-Googler
vs. i can hire in canada/ukraine/india/pakistan/china for a more skilled person with no such bs restrictions.
asadalt··on Googler... ex-Googler
sure i am being dramatic but my point stands. if my company can’t be fluid and can’t react fast to market due to bs unions and backward laws of some land, that place is what i avoid.
asadalt··on Googler... ex-Googler
outlier.
asadalt··on Googler... ex-Googler
that’s only what employee handbook says.
asadalt··on Googler... ex-Googler
i have had to avoid hiring excellent candidate(s) from EU, just because they would become unflushable if it comes to that.
asadalt··on Googler... ex-Googler
they are doing great!
asadalt··on Googler... ex-Googler
that’s very business hostile tbh. I wouldn’t start a company there.
asadalt··on Google Is Winning on Every AI Front
but that would kill monetization no?
asadalt··on Google Is Winning on Every AI Front
now we know what ilya saw.
asadalt··on Block YouTube ads on AppleTV by decrypting and stripping ads from Profobuf
we use voice or input from phone (we get a prompt on phone when we highlight a textbox on apple tv)
asadalt··on Apple M3 Ultra
how is it in practice (if you have tried). I have some vulkan work and I am too lazy to setup a new ec2 for it.
asadalt··on Asahi Linux lead developer Hector Martin resigns from Linux kernel
that’s exactly my question. why can’t he depend on C API and just consider it is memory safe and all.
asadalt··on Robotics and ROS 2 Essentials
i am dealing with ros these days for calibrating my custom hardware. it really is gROSs.

Thankfully, I have fully isolated ROS parts into their own dockerfiles.

asadalt··on Dragonfly's extreme loop-the-loops
“one in 4 eventually drown”… does this mean it’s a recent evolutionary trick and selection hasn’t settled yet.
asadalt··on Nvidia bets on robotics to drive future growth
yes that’s what i am working on these days but there is a need for a generally available neural chip (see google’s coral as one attempt). in my tests, esp32s3 is very very slow for any model with conv2d involved.

i just want a tiiiny gpu for $10 so i can run smaller models at higher speed than possible with xtensa/rp2040 having limited simd support etc.

asadalt··on Nvidia bets on robotics to drive future growth
if they really want to bet on robotics, I want them to release a $10 variant of jetson board.
asadalt··on Build a Low-Cost Drone Using ESP32
damn you are right!
asadalt··on Build a Low-Cost Drone Using ESP32
i wish this didn’t use mpu6050 imu, which is obsolete and unavailable it seems.

but i guess they used it due to existing code/drivers widely available for it and esp32.

asadalt··on Build a Low-Cost Drone Using ESP32
i see it as just accelerating normalizing cheap drones everywhere.
asadalt··on Build a Low-Cost Drone Using ESP32
just upload it to jlcpcb and get it delivered with components soldered.
asadalt··on Build a Low-Cost Drone Using ESP32
i don’t see your contact info.
asadalt··on Build a Low-Cost Drone Using ESP32
this is amazing. on similar note, I have spent last few months trying to fit visual inertial odometry into esp32. Combining that with this would be insane (and so cheap!)
asadalt··on GPT-5 is behind schedule
kinda how we do it. language is just an io interface(but also neural obv) on top of our reasoning engine.
