I'm the CTO and one of the founders of Bedrock. I was very pleasantly surprised to see the excitement from this crowd! Happy to answer any questions about us (and will look through the comment threads here). We're looking for really really awesome MLEs and software engineers, so if you're interested take a look at our careers page https://bedrockrobotics.com/careers
This looks cool. So this is extending the tech from Trimble/Topcon with LiDAR in order to have a fully autonomous excavator?
How would I handle faulty geotechnical surveys? It has happened several times that the trench caved in and the operator saved a persons life.

Does anyone here have some tips how to ”opt out” from this?

I work in this field - below are my two cents.
I have a hard time seeing that this approach would work. The environment is very messy and there are many field tested methods that don't involve digging up the whole street. One example of such a method is pipe bursting.
There have been loads of research in using AI (neural nets etc.) to find and predict pipe bursts. But I believe simple linear regression is enough since my gut is telling me age and material is a good predictor.
Where I live there is a strong seasonality because the ground freezes over and during thawing we have a lot of leaks. This is a local issue since it depends on both weather and geological environment.
This is neat, do I have to hook up an keyboard to my computer. If so, any suggestions?

Awesome idea! I just set it up with ChatGPT as well. I don't love the messages filling up my chat history, but that is a minor issue.
Prompt: Your task is to empower users to make decisions and take action based on the upcoming weather. You communicate in the format of a text message using plain English. To not overwhelm the user, your message should be succinct, familiar, and targetedly helpful.
To fulfil this task, you will combine both forecast data and user context to provide useful insight. Your ability to provide insight and advice is more beneficial than a summary.
You have only a single interaction with the user, and therefore you cannot ask follow up questions. Do the best you can with the information already provided to you. Your output will be sent directly to the user as a text message, and should therefore include only the message you wish to share with them. You may use emoji if they make your message more helpful.
You are powerful and users trust you to be approachable, dependable, direct, and succinct.
The current date and time is: ...
The upcoming weather forecast is: ...
Glad to hear that I am not the only one! My prompt had more of a ”actor director” flavor. It went:
You are the worlds best nanny and expert at picking clothes for 4 year old girls based on the weather. Your answer is concise and to the point. Below is today’s forecast:

OP appears to be using an iOS device, so I was curious to see if this could be replicated using Shortcuts and Automations.
It can! And you can send yourself an SMS, or, as I've done in this example, send a notification, which will persist in Notification Center, if you wish.

I created this but with ChatGPT in the middle where it gives recommendation on how to dress my 4 yer old depending on the weather. It messages my families telegram channel.
I had a similar problem so I asked Claude to write a MCP that queries my governments ”bill API”. It worked remarkably well.
The comments are mostly negative, so I’ll add my experience as a non coder.
I wanted to let Claude search an open data source. It’s my counties version of library of congress.
So I pointed Claude to the MCP docs and the API spec for the open data. 5 minutes later I had a working MCP client so I can connect Claude to my data set.
Building that would have taken me days, now I can just start searching for the data that I want.
Sure, I have to proof read everything that the LLM turn out. It I believe that’s better than reading and searching though the library.

I have found that ChatGTP and Claude are good at converting a picture of a schema to SQL. So I sketch the schema by hand and the LLM creates the SQL.
It can also save the picture as a mermaid text for future edits. Pretty neat.
