I like building and deploying robots. https://t.co/VkYBu7SPR6 check out my recent deep dive here: https://t.co/AmmjdyzrpK

the most interesting find for me was around systems -- latency and performance matter a lot more than the average observer might think often improving task completion directly correlates w improving things like latency, not just scaling training
1/ The future of general-purpose robotics will be decided by one major question: which flavor of data scales reasoning? Every major lab represents a different bet. Over the past 3 months, @adam_patni, @vriishin, and I read the core research papers, spoke with staff at the major

https://t.co/KITiDT3SHI Even streaming actions over BLE sounds pretty hard if you wanted to make a robot do something useful while running blind.

After working with bluetooth-low-energy (BLE) technology for audio streaming with @ax_pey for a weekend, I'm skeptical that Unitree is able to create a viable data pipeline from their "UniPwn exploit". It's hard enough to stream audio over bluetooth let alone video action pairs.

video games, physics simulators, RL for sim2real - all still extremely relevant challenges that are faced by organizations today

Artificially restricting demand is a great way to keep prices and wait-times down. I wonder if the PR around cheap rides will create more signups in other competing markets (ie people only install robotaxi app and not waymo). sneaky...
idk who needs to hear this but prices and service areas are fake as long as there’s a waitlist

The Turing test for robotics is likely not a static benchmark - it evolves with our expectations. It’s probably some form of “can a robot pick up a new skill at the same rate that we’d expect a human to pick up that same skill?”

Mehul is helping models actually understand you and the world.
LLMs hallucinate because they're trying to remember everything. They massively compress information, which leads to a loss of reliability. A thread 🧵 (1/)

The discrete fourier transform is beautiful (and useful). I spent some time this summer learning about it and made a post for others looking to learn.

git rebase -i HEAD~3 [CTRL-V] [v] [v] [v] c squash [ESC] git rebase main
I started using `rebase` instead of `merge` and now I understand why people were telling me to use rebase

Rereading something you didn't understand seems to work if you do it enough times.

today I learned about gate lice, is there a term for people who crowd the aisles when the plane lands?

I will say this virtual tour is pretty informative:
