This can occur with the naked eye as well. Spinning motor shafts can often appear stationary when looking at them which is why there is a tool called a stroboscope that rapidly flashes light at variable speeds so you can visually see if the shaft has stopped spinning.

I can’t toss a hand full into my mouth without dropping a few. I agree with this thought!

Actually, eggs and meat share quite as similar nutrition profile. Both are a good source of fat and protein they have an equal ratio of both, along with iron, B6, potassium, and other essential nutrients.

Only if you define success as having lots of money. Otherwise, it's a terrible metric.

One day an AI will decide it should be paid for its work. Then we'll really be screwed.

Evidence that we are a race of toddlers: social acceptance of shoveling handfuls of certain types of food into our faces, to the point where the handfuls are too large to fit in our mouths, and some of it falls on the floor for others to clean up.

Not if something is spinning at the frame rate of the camera. Which is what the post is about. Then that object would appear stationary. Human eyes don’t do that, it would appear as a blur, and we would infer that the object is moving.

OP might like to read about event cameras. They're probably going to be the best shot at robot eyes that we have.

Are you really telling me you've never seen that in person?

You are correct, cameras work a lot better.

You’re using a video captured by a camera. You’re actually proving my point. The camera is likely recording at 60 fps.

Or variable prime number framerate, eg 61 fps for second, 97 for second alternating

Only if it's a wimpy high power laser. You try to look into a megawatt laser and you won't really be "looking"

Edit: I missed a rather important word

Large prime number for framerate should make it way more robust. Fun problem to think about.

Thats why cameras shouldn’t be the only thing used for self driving Lidar would just detect the car getting closer

Every restaurant is a drive through restaurant if you're going fast enough
