[simcity @simcity99]

stop strategizing so much
stop setting so many plays
stop doing things only based in fear

@StonegardensAdv Cool thanks

[simcity @simcity99]

tech events are the worst, but trying to come out of my anon shell

any robotics/defense/hard/deep/reindustrialize nyc tech week stuff worth going to?

[simcity @simcity99]

In the long run, delivery will be by far the biggest market for UAVs and UGVS

But do not want to start competing in delivery until autonomy is ready (10:1 vehicle to operator ratio or better)

Right now, the legacy delivery bot companies with dogshit sidewalk crawlers are unprofitable and not able to innovate due to the fleet maintenance. happy to just let them blow themselves up lol

Start with hobby, defense, or security (law enforcement or private) for the wedge then go in for the kill when tech is ready

[simcity @simcity99]

connotations are so powerful man

rc car: kiddo toy
drone: wow cool tech bro

no one actually looks at what is possible with the platforms

simple rebranding to UGV would change everything

also like mini tesla or mini EV

@adeebshihadeh just now reading about vapor phase reflow.. vaporflow looks pretty nice for hobby scale. vaporware will ship this time, i promise, soon

[simcity @simcity99]

the great openpilot rebase begins..
you guys like "vaporpilot" for the fork name?
or maybe "vaporware" monorepo!?

[simcity @simcity99]

upgrading to codex pro

[simcity @simcity99]
