Would love to see / hear if there are any undergrad/grad-level courses that follow this book (or others) that cover computer vision - from basic-to-advanced.
"Soaring demand for electricity will drive a $350 billion nuclear spending boom in the US, boosting output from reactors by 63% by 2050, according to Bloomberg Intelligence.
The key driver is power-hungry data centers running artificial intelligence systems, and that investment will add 53 gigawatts of reactor capacity, bringing the total nuclear fleet to 159 gigawatts, the research company said in a report Monday. "
Perhaps change the headline to say famed roboticist == Rodney Brooks...
because that matters. A lot.
And I do agree with him. Today's humanoid robots are poorer than any task compared to other, specific / single-purpose robots. And they are more expensive. And they don't generalize. All humanoid companies are burning their $$$$ for sake of cute stories. None of the companies today are revenue generating, let alone profitable.
Perhaps in a decade or longer, when we have better, more robust vision-multi-modal-action models we will have humanoid-ish robots that are actually valuable. And these too are unlikely to be human-like.
Not here to comment on the _content_ of the blog post...
Just wanted to say the blog post design looks super nice. Beautifully laid out, very readable typography, clear graphics, approachable design with a welcoming UX, footnotes in the side, etc.
Anybody know how this is designed / styled? (I can see three.js being used, along with katex.js - but don't know more details)
I think the diagrams look very similar to what Keenan Crane uses in his papers, perhaps they used that tool. I think his students have now fleshed it out for general use.
Not quite. I personally like podman better than docker, but for the guide we went for the simplest or more mainstream tools, in order to keep it simple and to reduce the amount of testing needed for the guide.
Using podman shouldn't that big of a change though. BentoML that we present in the guide can also be used with podman instead of docker using the `--backend` flag, so you should be good to go.
This may or may not mean anything to some people, but Sanjeev Arora is one of the few people who scored rank #1 in India's IIT JEE (1986) (joint entrance exam for the prestigious IITs) [1]
It's a little factoid stuck in my brain since I was a kid.
