The berlingo, especially up to 2014, are tankier, ther're known with the name B9 (vin starts with that) diesel 1.6 hdi has proven resilience)

So you think making a genocide is not illegal ?

Look how carefully they worded that to make a carve-out for this very case: "in the country of service". As in, Gaza is now part of Israel, and according to Israeli laws, Israel is not doing any genocide on Palestinians.

Always wandering how people create such free and publicly available tools with the expressive pricing of for example Claude sonnet 3.7 ??

Now you need to tell him also what ISS is

I know what ISS is. I just never had anyone in my circle reducing phrase "work from home" to a 3-letter acronym.

Thanks, perfect timing

Ah nice catch ! doesn't it fit this regex : https?://(www\.)?(youtube\.com|youtu\.be)/.+

Tried this on Android and cannot reproduce your issue, can you share the link here ?

Hi HN, OP here, I'm starving for feedback, please share any thoughts about this. Also about the quality and usefulness of the final post Thanks !

It is opensource but still costs nearly 25k dollar. why is it that expensive ?

It’s a low volume product that has to support the salaries of the engineers who create and maintain the product.

I’m always surprised by how difficult it is for people to understand this.

Yep. I was recently looking at building an art project that required a gas valve that can freely rotate while under pressure.

If you need one gas line, you can get a swivel for a normal shop hose reel for $15. If you need two gas lines on the same axis, the part is similar but way lower volume, so you have to go to a specialty supplier and the price is $350.

The business that makes hose reel swivels makes lots of high volume parts, has lots of competition, and needs to charge close to cost to sell them. The business that makes specialty gas swivels for industry that offers multiple gas lines in one swivel, lots of different options, and makes them higher quality needs to charge a lot more to keep their business operational.

By robot standards, $25k is not a bad. Most mobile-manipulator robots cost 5 digits or more, mostly due to the small market, high materials and engineering cost, and general headaches of robot building.

Since when does open source mean cheap?

Labor isn't free. Building custom PCBs and hardware in low quantity isn't cheap. Building, calibrating, and testing robots isn't cheap.

Now in all fairness, open source tends to mean cheaper because it does reduce how much has to be invented in-house, and also (sometimes) because it lets you crowd source free labor. In software, that can lead to stuff getting completely built for free (or close) because the base costs are low and mostly consist of labor that some people might be willing to do for free. In hardware, it's likely that open source still reduces the costs, but... you can make a thousand copies of a library for free; making a thousand copies of a part is never going to be free.

I’ve been getting back into robotics lately and one thing that’s rubbing me the wrong way is these days, with PCB way, everybody seems to be making their own boards. Why? Some boards are innovative, but how come everybody needs their own FOC controller? Can we get one project going and focus on that before adding yet another FOC controller, but this time with wireless!

Where’s the price? Do you have a link to the product page?

Thank you

I don't think patents are what is making this specific hardware expensive. Rather it's just a lack of market and supply chain scaling.

My father has cancer on stage 4, he probably will die soon, do anyone knows if there are treatment he can try ?

I am very sorry for your father.

There are many different kind of cancers, and metastasis' complexity further complicates the treatment. I guess the best hope is to get a bleeding edge medical treatment by joining a clinical trial, (and hoping to not be in the control arm).

Did you hear about CUSP9:
