I am excited to share a new study led by Shachar Givon & @MatanSamina w/ Ohad Ben Shahar: Goldfish can learn to navigate a small robotic vehicle on land. We trained goldfish to drive a wheeled platform that reacts to the fish’s movement (authors.elsevier.com/a/1eEnubrwfBCwg).

Today's the 30-year anniversary of The Chevette Project debevec.org/Chevette/ , when I shot the photos to make a textured 3D model of my car with photogrammetry. This set the stage for my UC Berkeley PhD, "Modeling and Rendering Architecture from Photographs."
I liked this video so much, I decided to write up all the bugs in it. Maybe other devs can spot things I missed, or speculate likely causes and assignees. (I've omitted repro steps for 280-character brevity.)
