thank you for sharing this

now do humanity

a new and better willow garage?? =D

Additionally, I think it's pretty obvious that the journalist knew this and the editor picked the clickbait title.

"Summa Technologiae" is also quite excellent and incredibly prophetic.

100%

back channels are very effective and should be embraced in business and politics

it did

I dont think Iran wanted to kill any Americans. They knew that this strike helped them save face. Killing soldiers would have risked an escalation. The US also did not try to stop the missiles to allow the slap in in the face to happen. The US wanted to let them save face.

yes. the hard part is implementing FaceID! Lots of papers on the topic: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&as_ylo...

too much drift, they are very noisy. double integration is hard.

Jeff from SC here. Thanks @nobbis!

you can mask away the points that are moving or you expect to move (eg ignore features from cars and people)

The Straussian reading is "Google doesn't have good ideas on how to spend it's capital - might as well buy real estate"

For those in the know - is there a reason on the funding side for funding less risk averse things? Something about the politics of the NIH that has changed?

3ders is one of the best blogs in 3D - worth a follow

This is a few years ago. Processed thousands of 3d scans manually with a tight turnaround for close to a year. Finally automated it!

Not exactly do things that don't scale but when I moved to SF I shared a double bed with my cofounder for 9 months (room came furnished). Saved a lot on rent!

Summa Technologiae (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summa_Technologiae) is an excellent read and stunningly predictive.

Yes

Not workable for a self-driving car - but for other applications the iPhone X has a front-facing RGB-D sensor.

This is a great overview. Also checkout CS 468 from Stanford, http://graphics.stanford.edu/courses/cs468-17-spring/ "Machine Learning for 3D Data"

This article has 0 insight. This was the most strategic answer. - A: facebook does a lot of things and it's true it competes across many categories

- B: Admitting competition is bad for wall street, legitimizes them, and turns the narrative into whether that is true or not (you don't want that to happen either)

- C: The senator was obviously trying to bait Mark into saying that they have no competition... why? Easy anti-trust/regulation. He avoided that as well.

Mark took the most strategic path. Sure - it could have been delivered better.

Standard Cyborg (YC) | San Francisco | Full-time | Onsite | Senior iOS engineer

We're creating a platform to design custom-fit products at scale. In our first vertical - orthotics and prosthetics, we have an international customer base (real traction and revenue) and our software is taught to the new generation of students.

We're looking for a senior iOS engineer to join our engineering team (currently 3 people - heavy math background). You will own the iPad app and contribute to other parts of our stack. Our iPad app is a key priority for us - and will be the primary interface for how all custom-fit products in the future are scanned and designed.

We are also looking for a software engineer well-versed in computational geometry/mesh processing/geometry processing. If ICP mesh registration and/or SDFs mean something to you - this could be a great fit!

Awesome work!

The animation definitely seems the most difficult (and subjective), but also the most cool! Body hacking via computed geometry!

Invisalign (align technology) uses almost the same workflow. Market cap $5.89B.

If you could move the workflow over to something based on WebGL / three.js - you could make this accessible to dentists in developing countries. Could be an awesome open source project.

I think "allowing" it to be used in the US would open yourself up to too much liability though :(

thanks!

thanks!
