All that work making Pleo batteries, pays off

Finally used the spot welder to make these Pleo robot batteries, and after a few years fixed the old bose studio wireless headphones. Productive day

Finally got time to fix his arms. The modified bracket I made in fusion came out great for future repairs

Thought on O3, If we spend $300000 USD, which is understandable with the current tech and difficulty of the questions, does it now update the base model with this new insight? Or will we need to spend another $300k tomorrow when we ask the same question?

So, get ChatGPT to imagine up an ornament of your daughters choice, do some work in fusion360, then some painting in Bambu Labs, then print. then drop it right before the photo.. not as horny any more..

Am I on the wrong thought path in thinking that Byte Latent Transformers are what these realtime multimodal models that power Gemini 2 are based on? arxiv.org/abs/2412.09871

robots coming in hot! Is anyone working on this? I would love to hear from people who have added this to their DIY robots, but I have a feeling we still have a heap of work to do www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCll...

3D printing in white and getting the kids to paint is a nice way to keep them busy

lifehack if you are doing robotics r&d or are a student or whatever, you should probably be using rerun

A lovely overview of meta-learning, or as they call it, networks that improve through practice arxiv.org/abs/2410.10596 Found by a PhD student in our group

In the age of AI, I wonder if we as humanity could create a protocol across all our technology systems, that allows all data to be encrypted by default, in such a way that the producer of the data and humans subjects referenced in such data could be notified and have the option to remove access

Both OpenAI and Anthropic have proposed using large models to understand smaller models through sparse autoencoders. So, students at NTU Singapore decided do that with a multimodal model and shared their findings, code, and datasets.

Could hack a bit more on my old Neato robot. Got the laser going, can joystick it a bit, all #ros2 in Docker. In parallel setting up a Raspberry Pi 4, on cordless drill battery, with #NixOS, to run this on eventually. Everything all at once...

Really exciting to see this kind of progress in open robotics. Looking forward to the world where every researcher and roboticist has access to cool, high-quality hardware like this. Wondering what that open mobile manipulator will be like...

I'm glad @hf.co is doing this. It brings down the barriers to allow more people to benefit from AI, rather than keeping it exclusively in the realm of deep pocketed giant companies. AI can help open the gates, to allow regular people to do things they couldn't do before. (Which can be threatening!)
