bpg_92··on Show HN: Corvus Robotics (YC S18) Inventory drones with full life-cycle autonomy
Congrats on the launch! The constraint of a ~60W compute budget for fully onboard autonomy in a GPS-denied environment is impressive, I'm curious about the 'feature-poor' aspect you mentioned. Warehouses are notorious for having repetitive scenery which usually hard for visual SLAM regarding loop closures. How do you prevent the drone from getting lost when aisle 4 looks exactly like aisle 40? Best of luck!
bpg_92··on Ask HN: Feeling quite disheartened about job search, any advice?
I checked the page and it seemed really cool, would like to give it a try!
bpg_92··on I created a language learning method that helps you learn French in 4 months
In for English but for a friend of mine.
bpg_92··on Ask HN: Best Resources for Learning Computer Vision and Self-Driving Vehicles
Start with this course: https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~16385/ Then you can check udacity and coursera courses for DL. Try not to go directly into DL but first understand basic computer vision terms.
bpg_92··on Show HN: Deploy Scikit and Keras Models with a Simple Drag and Drop
It seems very interesting! What about support for pytorch models or .onnx? I usually use the pytorch->onnx->tensorrt to deploy models.
bpg_92··on Show HN: Tired of mobile games with IAP and ads, I made No-Bullshit Games
Awesome website! Great work, it would be nice to have a sort parameter to sort by score or price.
bpg_92··on I built Lambda's 4-GPU deep learning rig for $4000 cheaper
Very nice build indeed! I was comparing it with Lambdas build and it's pretty good on comparison, any thoughts on the Threadripper vs Intel? Also regarding the PSU, I've seen some pretty nasty reviews on that one (https://www.amazon.com/Rosewill-HERCULES-1600-Continuous-Has...). How did yours perform so far?
bpg_92··on Using machine learning to index text from billions of images
Pretty nice, I'm really interested in pipelines for deep learning at scale, they link to this article (https://blogs.dropbox.com/tech/2017/04/creating-a-modern-ocr...), if anyone has some other insights I'd be thankful. So far I used TensorRT to deploy to inference servers. But there is a lot of boilerplate and something like a 'load balancer' for DL networks would be very interesting.
bpg_92··on Show HN: A website that converts any IPFS file to HLS and reups it to IPFS
Awesome work, I'd try to check it out once it's up again.
bpg_92··on Robot Operating System – A flexible framework for writing robot software
The whole ROS ecosystem is huge, most of research platform robots are ROS enabled. Check the PR2 (http://wiki.ros.org/Robots/PR2), Turtlebot (https://www.turtlebot.com/), the Nao series (http://wiki.ros.org/nao), even Boston Dynamic's Atlas robot (http://gazebosim.org/tutorials?tut=drcsim_atlas_siminterface...) or Nasa's Robonaut (http://wiki.ros.org/Robots/Robonaut2).

It facilitates work by not having to rewrite a bunch of code every time. Also, most robotic related libraries like OMP, or TF are supported.

bpg_92··on Juicero Is Shutting Down
I guess the components. I think the sold the machine at a loss and maybe you could make some profit reselling some components, yet I am not quite sure.
bpg_92··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (May 2016)
Hey there! There is no interns section, where can we apply?
bpg_92··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (April 2016)
Are you looking for interns by any chance?
bpg_92··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (April 2016)
HI there, is there a dot com after microsoft? the email doesn't seem that clear.
bpg_92··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (April 2016)
Hi there, I applied and got a call, all good, then they said they will schedule a coding interview but no reply until now. Any ideas? I mean I would get it if I don't get contacted after the call, but saying that you will schedule a coding interview and then disappearing sounds a bit weird.
bpg_92··on Best ways to fight fatigue when coding?
Thank you so much, you are right, I'll just drop some projects and try to focus on myself, I am in the border of a collapse if I keep going this way.
bpg_92··on Best ways to fight fatigue when coding?
But the deadlines! I am sleeping so little, got too much caffeine in my system, dunno, thanks for the advice though, will try to take a nap and see some posts in 9gag
bpg_92··on My Passion Was My Weak Spot
I was working with a company that sub contracted work from the US, the average pay was reasonable for the living standar but they were charging 2x to 4x more to the companies in US, thus making huge profit out of us. I felt bad for a while and left because other factors, it would be nice to have something written from that point of view.
bpg_92··on Some ad-blockers are tracking you, shaking down publishers, and showing you ads
They are evolving!
bpg_92··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (March 2016)
Hey there! I am a robotics grad student looking for an intership, do you think interships could be available?
bpg_92··on Google AdWords Switching to 4 Ads on Top, None on Sidebar
Wow and Adblock doesn't seem to work on these, WE ARE DOOMED!
bpg_92··on Sci-Hub: Removing barriers in the way of science
Welp, I used to get books, papers and software from non-legal sources when I was in undegrad, because I just couldn't afford it, now that I make some money I buy most of this stuff. The thing is, without all those resources in the past I couldn't have made it to where I am now. Just my 2 cents.
bpg_92··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (February 2016)
Hi there Chris, I am a robotics engineer doing graduate studies, they aren't any possitions open for an intership in that area in the page, any idea if one will be open soon? Best regards
bpg_92··on Google Reverses Its Decision to Ban Ad Blocking Apps from the Google Play Store
Adds are not the problem, the problem is the problem is the quantity of Adware. I whitelist the pages and creators I want to support because I know they make a living out of that. Removing add blockers won't fix the problem, removing adware will.
bpg_92··on Yelp Posts Q4 Loss, CFO Resigns
These seems worring indeed, are some bubble poping now? Maybe it's just overreacting, but hopefully the trend won't continue.
bpg_92··on No More Deceptive Download Buttons
Welp, hopefully they will make it optional and we can turn it off.
bpg_92··on How I Sold My Bible App Company
Congrats!!! I got a small app and some ideas, stories like this make me want to pursue this fultime.

For a moment there, I thought of Nibiru :D

Did you look for each one? Or is there a filter for that.
