raghavkhanna··on Making Humans a Multi-Planetary Species
Nice overview, clear and concise. More readable than a lot of scientific publications, if I might add. Might be useful to add that it's by Elon Musk in the title.
raghavkhanna··on Show HN: Keypad Layout Window Manager for Mac
There's also spectacle (https://www.spectacleapp.com/), however this seems worth trying out, especially due to the ease of remembering the layout config shortcuts
raghavkhanna··on JPS+: Over 100x Faster than A* (2015) [video]
A* is optimal in the sense that it is guaranteed to find the optimal solution (shortest path), there are no guarantees in terms of speed IIRC.
raghavkhanna··on Microsoft lets you crash drones and robots in its new real world simulator
As someone who works with autonomy for UAVs, previous simulation tools such as gazebo etc. are great for developing and testing control and path planning algos. However, developing, testing and tuning perception techniques such as visual inertial odometry, vision based slam remains and challenge since it typically requires getting your hands on real world data. Photorealistic rendering envs should make it a lot easier for developing good perception algorithms faster. The tools looks very promising, thanks for sharing it and keep up the good work.
raghavkhanna··on Show HN: Academic Bio – A simple static site generator for academic webpages
Great work! As a grad student I can definitely say it addresses a need :). For the publications, importing from bibtex might be a useful alternative, since all the fields are already there. It would save time compared to manually copy pasting each individual field and most researchers are familiar with it IMO.
