  • Depends, What kind of programming are you interested in and what do you want to do with it?

    • Low level microcontrollers (PLC’s, Robotics, Control systems, ROS, Automation, etc)

    • Higher level systems (Software Engineering, Enterprise Software, Networking, etc)

    • UX programming (Graphical User interfaces, human-machine interfacing, websites, etc)

    • Video Game Programming

    • AI Programming, Machine Learning, Prompt Engineering, maybe Data Processing, Vision systems, Simulations, etc

    All depends on what you want to do with your programming. You’ll need to narrow down and focus on what you hope to do with it.



  • Nah, you can’t beat the power density of hydraulics and never will unless room temp superconductors become a thing.

    Big Dog from Boston Dynamic was hydraulic.

    Going that size or bigger, hydraulics is a must.

    The reason you don’t see it is hydraulics is a completely different ball game.

    Controls researchers stick with small and electronic, because that’s what they know.

    It’s very rare to find a controls engineer that understands hydraulics.

    And the hydraulics experts out there, don’t have the background for sophisticated control theory.



  • I guess you missed the point.

    Yes, we can all certainly say that’s too long.

    But carry that thought farther as I explained.

    If you are going to make someone legally responsible for something like this, you need to draw a line where it is.
    So where do you draw that line?

    You reasonable can not, and that is because the premise that Google should be responsible for such a thing is ridiculous.

    This case is just a standard US justice system where they just ‘Sue everyone’ and see where the chips fall.


  • Yeah, how’s it Google’s fault that there were no signs? blocks? etc.

    9 years is excessive? sure maybe.

    But bridge collapse that evening while approaching it? Google’s Fault? No…

    So where do you draw that line where it’s Google’s Fault?

    1 day? 1 month? 1 year?

    Yeah, you can’t reasonable put a timeline on something like that.

    What happens if it was found out dude used an old paper map? Gonna sue that map company too?

    Just because Google has the ability to update maps quicker than old paper, doesn’t mean they are suddenly obligated to.



  • Current VR headsets don’t really produce text you’d want to read?

    Yes they do. I currently have one that is perfectly fine readable.

    Yeah, I can have multiple monitors in VR setting.

    But what hasn’t happened is

    1 - No one has made an app with a camera passthrough window to your desk.

    2 - Windows for some reason still has a problem with multi-monitors unless you actually physically have monitors mounted.
