If you see a video of a cat running away from a police traffic stop

What is the 5/3 tiles? Cameras?

The model generates camera and Lidar data. As if it was a Waymo car that drove through the simulated scenario with its cameras running. This synthetic training data can then be used to train the driving models.

Wonder how it'll do. The trees change shape (presumably the Lidar patterns do too). I get the premise/why but it seems odd to me (armchair) to use fake data. Real trees don't change shape (in real time) although it can be windy.

It probably doesn't matter though, "this general blob over there"


I like the style of the site it has a "vintage" look

Don't think it's moire effect but yeah looking at the pattern



Oh god my eyes! As it zooms in (ha)

That's cool, rendering shades in the old days

Man those graphics are so good damn


But the lobbyists

I have an RM2 like how I don't have to charge it for months.

The little tiny pocket (Go) was pretty neat but yeah.


Side note, been watching gold prospecting channels lately, there will be these dig sites/claims people go to, they'll do their thing, dig a hole, run it through some angled ramp water contraption... they get like nothing, it's the experience I suppose. But I was wondering what the owner gets from all these people showing up.

They'll work for hours and end up with $4 of gold


I want to make a business, but what is the business

People do change over time, I used to write "ha" after every sentence for some reason

You know, i had a particularly cringy period in which i put "la" at the end of sentences.

Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. "Ooh, la" sounds really unnatural.

But on a serious note, what did "la" mean in your context? I've never seen this.


It’s a common thing for speakers of Singaporean English to end sentences with la/leh. But no idea if that’s what’s going on here.

In one use case, it is kind of a verbal exclamation point, but it has more meanings and uses than just that. Likely originates from Hokkien, but it has evolved into it is own thing. If you are curious, more details here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singlish

In Turkish la at the end disrespectfully refers to a male person.

You left off something.

sure, not denying that. my writing style is fairly different now in my 40s than it was in my late teens/early twenties.

but, those changes are usually pretty gradual and relatively small. thats why when attempting to identify someone via writing, you look at several aspects of the writing and not just word choice (grammar, use of specific slang, sentence length, paragraph structure, punctuation, etc.). it is highly unlikely that all aspects of someones writing changes at the same time. simply removing "ha" is inconsequential to identification if not much else changed.

additionally, this data is typically combined with other data/patterns (posting times, username (themes, length, etc.), writing that displays certain types of expertise, and more) to increase the confidence level of correct identification.


Philosophical tangent

I also produce hardware projects and share them open source but unfortunately at a certain level of complexity people don't reproduce them. It's kind of sad but also I'm glad to be able to give back as I've had people help me learn to code in the past, sit down with me through video and yeah. Or people sharing knowledge in question answer forums.

There is the inspiration aspect too I've had some of my repos get forked/modded so that's something but yeah ultimately gotta do it for yourself. Getting published in tech websites is cool though, like I had a project get picked up by a Japanese website that was neat.


Was thinking literal voxel eg. game engine
