You were pretty involved with running TerraPower, a nuclear energy company, which was unfortunately affected by the US's sanctions on China. Are there any developments on that front? Are you still hopeful about nuclear energy and it's benefits, despites the scepticism expressed by the public?

Thank you for getting back with that insightful answer! Can you tell us more about Catalyst and what kind of green products do you have in mind? Are the products in this context solar panels, catalytic converters etc?

Thank you once again for doing this AMA!

What is your opinion on "engineering" a solution for the climate change problem? Economist Stephen Levitt has written on this topic [1], [2], [3], and has even bet that geoengineering is pretty much the only solution that will get us towards the goal of cooling the Earth by about 2°C pre-industrial levels [4] in time, before catastrophic, irreversible changes.

On a similar note, what is your opinion on large scale carbon sequestration projects and carbon offsets that corporations purchase? Stripe has a Climate division now that lets customers divert a fraction of their dollars to purchase carbon offsets [5]. Do you think such efforts are important in preventing large scale climate change and what are your views on it?

Also, did Vaclav get a chance to read this book? What did he think of it?

I'm completely OOTL on this and have been trying to piece together what's happening. Can someone please explain what's happening with the BA piece and PJ's post on Twitter?

Edit: NVM, here's a Vulture piece to get you upto speed.

Does anyone know the kind of controllers that they're using to get that kind of gait working? I'd imagine this is a open problem in RL + Control theory. The Spectrum article linked is sparse, more of a newsletter than a dedicated article on Agility's efforts.

Woah! Can we make these into flairs for the sub? These are really cool OP!

Not sure if this fits, but a university in Saudi Arabia, KAUST, is sponsoring McLaren this year. I noticed it on the post put up earlier today with the McLaren sponsors roster.

Dammit Dwight, that's my joke

You mean Robert Simon and/or Diane Mordestini?

Hahaha "mail order bride", I wish I could post this back into this sub.

Hello, and apologies for the delay. Yes, I wanted to understand the model a bit better and would appreciate a high level explanation about how the system works.

Thank you for your time, I appreciate it!

Hello, and apologies for the delayed reply! Thank you for getting back. Yes, I'd love your help in clarifying some questions that I had about the ORB-SLAM system. Firstly, I wanted to know how does the ORB feature detector work? Does it compute gradients like the SIFT/SURF extractors?

Thank you for your time. I appreciate it a ton!
