Needless to say, never commit AI-generated code to a high-stakes repo without proper review process and testing.

Yeah! Can AI fight me with a sword while we both compile? Can it?!

“Almost” means only two parts and the battery holders were left out because I didn’t care to send them.
That would have delayed the prototypes at least 1 week, and soldering them is trivial compared to those other tricky ICs they seemed to manage well.
Thorough tests soon.

I’m here, by myself, giggling like a lunatic.

An adverbial may precede the command line's action to modify how it's executed.
Guess what this command line does:
> every 100ms read base imu orientation
Readable, huh?
I hope I don't come across too many gotchas with this syntax!

Got lost? "help" may precede any command line for contextual help as you produce it.
"help" prints the available actions.
"help read" prints all the high-level categories you can read from.
"help read base" prints all the things in the robot's base you can read.
... and so on.

Test input: 5.4V, output: 7.3V. You'll have to take my word for it because the oscilloscope's reading is not readable in the video.

The baseline is around 65% accuracy with a simple fine-tuned BERT and ~95% with a LLM like GPT4o-mini.... your mission is to beat it while using the least energy possible!
Check out the dataset here:

And stay tuned for the last task later this week!🔥

What’s on screen?

Thanks for the first hand info. The chaos was also in informational, it seems 😅

The bittersweet upside? Neighbors talking and helping each other, strangers on the street asking for directions, chatting about possible causes.
Nobody looking at a screen.
Just that feeling of connection that stems from shared hardship.

- No Internet or phones
- No water due to pumps down
- No traffic lights
- Traffic congestion everywhere in cities
- No supermarkets
- Few shops accepting cash, but ATMs were down
- People trapped in elevators, subway, trains
...
The Government claims to not know the cause yet 🧐

That's Young Blood by Nightstop, not the other way around.

Folks, this is music video material. The Booming Capacitors.
Sound oooonnn!!

No matter how many times I do this, I still find this very moment mesmerizing.
The solder paste melts and surface tension aligns all components in place.

I know this li'l boy over here is gonna be trouble. Those are 0.25 mm pads with 0.5 mm pitch. This'll put my hot plate technique to the test.

Saw it live. Very impressive! Congrats!

Thanks! It's all custom. IMU+encoders with a KF, feeding a cascaded controller. Uneven floors could increase localization error and the controller would not fully correct (can't fix what it does not know). However, this is meant to be fused with a visual localization from the Jetson Nano on top.
