I've been in the bowels of the domestic robot/drone parts supply chain. It's ugly, almost non-existent. I wish there was more of a carrot, but the opportunity for that was frankly 5 years ago.
Frankly, they should just rip the bandaid off and apply it to robotics like robovacs/delivery bots/etc scanning homes/offices/critical infrastructure at this point.
We provide genomic testing of cancer tumor biopsies to help physicians guide treatment of their patients. Below roles would be part of our Strategic Operations team which is currently focused on physician facing software.
Team is primarily in Dallas, TX - but could possibly do US based remote for the right candidates.
I’m having trouble putting a term to similar situations:
Where people (whether government, corporate, nonprofit) get in over their head and create these sorts of problems while trying to solve something they don’t appropriately understand.
There’s a lot of poor decision making in our institutions ranging from HOA’s, multinational nonprofits, and federal governments, notably in domain specific situations that require nuanced understanding.
Maybe we need to start introducing the concepts of circuit breakers in our rules, regulations & laws to eject when something goes wrong or doesn’t go right based on basic KPI’s.
Have we solved the “basics” (despite not getting those right) and are running into compounding edge cases? Do we just need people better equipped to handle these decisions? I think these sorts of problems (more broadly than the specific topic in the article) are going to be a plague on our society.
Yep, I'm in that window, but availability of the 12 pro is pretty bad and it's not that painful in the grand scheme of life to warrant hunting one down haha. Regret, but not that big of a regret :)
I've been starting to use ARKit from a different angle.
Usecase - test out 3d designs of replacement classic car parts I'm manufacturing as a side project.
While crude right now, I think this sort of stuff is a game changer - I'm regretting not picking up a lidar enabled 12 pro instead of a 12 now to do better scanning and placement. I guess I'll pick up an ipad pro when it's upgrade time on that front.
There still isn't a replacement for physically printing the parts before I have them laser cut out of metal. I 3d print models and test fit pieces as intermediate steps too.
Really excited to see ios developers digging into ARKit more, I'm excited to see what else is possible here.
