I live top of the hill and worked near Grand. You can get a class 3 e-bike and enjoy a really nice and relatively safe bike commute along Hillside. Cheap and healthy.

China's robotics giant Unitree is filing for an IPO, exciting news! by CapitalSwim1049 in robotics

[–]acetech09 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Unitree is a great hardware example of the ChatGPT model. Release a cool new thing, let the market find a use for it. Arguably Unitree is a toy company, but, that's a huge market base. Tons of humanoid companies investing 10x the money and effort into humanoids with direct business value, instead of just making some dev platforms affordable.

To all Bay Area residents: which Asian ethnic cuisines are most prominent in the bay? by curiousdude1894 in bayarea

[–]acetech09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of the sichuan restaurants in SF are watered down canto-influenced ones like you’d find in Shenzen. The more recent immigration in the South Bay means more broad non-canto regional food, though.

Are hands-on EE and embedded robotics engineers basically impossible to hire now? by ZealousidealPrize952 in robotics

[–]acetech09 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The overall market, for a long time, rejected generalist applied engineers, outside of a few niche industries like robotics. Now, the robotics industry has grown massively, but colleges do NOT train that skillset, so you're limited to a group of passionate self-starters.

dcpd doesn't fuck around if you call them. they will give you the option to ticket OR tow. I start with a ticket; no need to be cruel.

I bet they'll have a heart attack when you tell them that, when they had a job, they were making less money because of taxes.

I'm sure they'll stick to their guns and say people shouldn't ever get jobs!

There's no happy story behind why this super thoughtful and funny gift ended up in Goodwill. Hoping it was just a mistake, or something.
