Hi aarya, id like to contribute especially on how to make the animations in blenderGPT.


This is good news! I have been using both Sonnet 3.5 and Gemini. I believe that despite Gemini is not as good as Sonnet but Gemini Flash is way cheaper.


Let's go back to the era where we need only a small amount of engineers to build stuffs.


i'm wondering if elon's stunt with twitter will start a new trend.


Is this possible with SDR?


I am operating a fleet of vehicles that have multiple cameras on them.

I would like to contribute to an open source community that can have work with OSM, freely. Is there an option for this? Other than mapillary.


There's OpenStreetCam, but it isn't a whole lot different than Mapillary.

I think it will be a while before there is a community project accepting many gigabytes of photos every day.


Many years ago (before the advent of OpenStreetCam or Mapillary) I proposed a federated scheme where various entities could obtain their own dirt-cheap http hosting (backblaze?) and simply submit indexes (or make available in an easily discoverable fashion) of the image metadata for centralized tools to pull together, but this was dismissed as lunacy.

I still don't think it would be too tricky to do and would nicely decouple the fundamental storage/hosting problem from all the other problems that might need solving.

What I thought was particularly interesting was how EXIF data tends to be near the beginning of a JFIF file which could allow "cheap" bulk scanning of jpeg metadata by using http 1.1 ranges.... who knows.


Why not Mapillary?


From my observation as a Malaysian Malay, I do not think that this change of government will stop the rise of Islamic fundamentalism. This Arabicization of Malaysia was started by Mr. Anwar Ibrahim who was imprisoned by Mr. Mahathir Mohamad and now became good friends and partners. Mr. Anwar is the de facto leader of the coalition that won the election.


Seems like a step in the right direction though? If BN had won in coalition with PAS, they would have had to bend over regarding sharia, hudud, etc.

Acronym decoder:

BN = Barisan Nasional = old ruling coalition

PAS = Parti Islam Se-Malaysia = take a wild guess :)


Please do explain this. I would love to understand what is the modus operandi.


To sell, you need to speak the language of your target audience. Pivotal's audience is enterprise customers, so their website is naturally filled with enterprisey messaging - high on 'outcomes' for decision makers and low on nitty gritty details.

HN's audience is not really the same (broadly speaking). A landing page that shows you how simple it is to deploy a python function into production on Pivotal Foundry would probably be a better sell here.


Using IMU as alternative to GPS is a great complement. In fact, we are using it too but the problem is that the system needs to be corrected often which was highlighted in the article too.


I think the best use case is would be for non-profit that depend on donations like Wikipedia or perhaps video streaming websites like Youtube(consumed using Desktop).


Maybe youtube could secretly encode keyframes in your browser.


Mind you, that $1.1B is money already spent. Google will need to spend more than that to continue R&D for Waymo.
