Thanks for the really nice in-depth post! Hoping for a future one about: "Much recent work on auto-research, self-improving agents, and evolutionary program search can be organized…

Brings back memories of Soundmonitor (Commodore 64, 1986) with vertical scrolling, hex note tracking, and 3-channel column layouts.

Another happy customer, bought two Jamcorder units. Not just the hardware is simple, the software as well: it just works, quietly in the background. I just had to enable daily auto…

Makes me feel old, as original Bullet creator.

Great to finally see Box3D released! Glad to see some healthy physics simulation options, next to Jolt, PhysX and https://github.com/newton-physics/newton (using MuJoCo Warp, which…

I got bifocal monthly contact lenses (-7, +2 and correction for astigmatism). It has been such a relief to read screen/phone without needing to wear reading glasses while still see…

Agreed Gemini maybe not the best, but it is still pretty good. And their research was the foundation of others (Attention is all you need paper).

Gemini is pretty good.

and active suspension, now attach wheels.

Just a matter of time until they add wheels to its feet, and the legs will act as active suspension. See also https://youtube.com/watch?v=srPz8TRpZ_8 and https://youtube.com/watch?…

Agreed on stereo microscope, also suggest flux and a good iron with exchangeable tips and hot tweezers (I enjoy the Hakko).

Very nice project. If you like this, the Pupper quadruped robot project by Stanford University is also interesting, with RL training pipeline as well and well-documented open sourc…

Green Beret and Rambo: First Blood Part 2 tunes are still amazing, Martin is a wizard.

There is a 122TB nvme PCIe SSD: https://www.solidigm.com/products/data-center/d5/p5336.html

CentralComputers is worth visiting, if you were into Frys.

It is common for header-only libraries: you need to include this header in one c++ using the macro for linking (don't use that macro in other c++ files to avoid duplicate symbols).…

I highly recommend starting with the very affordable and well documented Lerobot SO101 arms. You can 3d print or buy parts and actuators, camera. Lots of tutorials and training pol…

Indeed, magic. How about the Commodore 64, there was a game (Eindeloos, Radarsoft, 1985) within 64kb that has a huge map. Someone recently (after 40 years!) extracted the map (500 …

If only exfat had symbolic links.

Nice shots, would fit well in the Baraka (or Samara) movie.
