Why aren’t there tech startup immigration sanctuary cities? We have local authorities not working with the feds for referring criminals to ICE. Could you have the same for software engineers?
Yeah, I think atoms are just so cool. After almost two decades of many different kinds of software, it all starts to looks the same and kinda boring. Even LLMs, which are super exciting, can barely hold my interested.
All my startup and side-project ideas are now robot or machine based. Feels like the combo of LLMs (or rather large multi-modal models) and cheap robots will yield tons of interesting results over the next decade.
I want a perfect simulation of our world - that then gets a zombie infection.
I want my street, my house, and general geography to matter in the game. Where is the hardware store? Army bases? Water?
The game starts with a limited infection, making police response to your murdering an infected neighbor problematic. The simulation models how agents would respond.
You win by killing all the zombies, whether that's year 1 or 10. If needed, that's 7 billion.
The exhaust could be a good city simulator, zombies off, which you sell to local governments.
If the drones localize, you can get a constantly updating position over radio. Even with other tools, this will help disambiguate.
There are a few different parts here from robotics that can help.
- Tracking allows you find a how a patch of pixels move. Look up "klt" and "SIFT features". Older
- Recognition allows you to find a given object. Look up "yolo". Newer
- Motion modeling allows you to predict where something should be, and can include the transponder ego data. Look up "kalman filter"
- All three of the above should be available in existing libraries
- If possible, engineer the environment, like putting easy to spot LED patterns on the drones. This is always the easiest
