    Autonomous Systems

    Go fuck your strawman on your own then. Tesla making world-class vehicular CV and then switching to lidar once the lidar tech reaches new pinnacles is a totally worth endeavor and might even be a better long-term plan. Vehicular autonomy is always going to need amazing CV, so them pushing it...

    So when you read: you saw me say "This is great and crazy, and I'm pretty pumped to see how far they get." you interpreted it as, "This is near impossible and they're retarded."?

    I don't even know what point you're trying to make here, but when one spends a tremendous amount of effort trying to get structure from motion of objects in a mono-cam, it feels like cheating when one switches to a lidar like the velodyne above that just tells you what everything looks like in...

    Well, it's not required persay. If it was we feeble humans and our addiction to the visible light spectrum wouldn't be able to drive. It does, however, make things a lot easier. The granddaddy vehicle lidar, the Velodyne HDL64-E produces a scan with 64 vertical layers. I believe the below is...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I don't really stand with the above skeptical posts, but I am a skeptic of the EMDrive and think that widespread systemic error from bad experimentation methodology is more likely than the EMDrive working. I think the way forward for the EMDrive is for them to attempt to improve the efficiency...

    The Astronomy Thread

    What's funny about the flat earth society is that it's a collective troll-job. There are some very well-educated people that support it and make the kind of arguments you could only make if you knew a lot about physics, ephemeris, space etc. And there are a lot of less-educated people who read...

    Autonomous Systems

    So, what's great and crazy about Tesla is they're trying to accomplish full scale autonomy without lidar, which is the foundational sensor for everyone else's perception. It's kind of like trying to be a raiding guild by using bards and rangers for tanking. Maybe it'll be as forward looking as...

    I look forward to seeing the first level 5 autonomous car that doesn't use a lidar.
