In my 20 something experience of software development, it is totally ok if you don't work on anything so I don't work on something. If there is a possibility that your work will be something useful plus you will benefit from that, you definitely have enough time to do that in couple of coffee tea drinking times. Europe show off by their sidewalks and street signs. Computer is a little too lux for a human.

I'm working on so101-nexus, an open-source sim-to-real stack for the SO-100/SO-101 robot arms where you can record teleop demos, behavior-clone a policy, then fine-tune with RL. The goal is to be very compatible with Gymnasium, MuJoCo, and LeRobot.

I keep hacking on my Markdown-based text editors at https://saturn9.studio/

I went on a side quest to strip out ProseMirror and markdown-it and implement a custom stack instead. I open sourced both the parser and editor (https://saturn9.studio/technology/):

* Markoffset is a fast, plugin-based, incremental Markdown parser: https://github.com/saturn9studio/markoffset

* Scribeframe is a text editor engine: https://github.com/saturn9studio/scribeframe

We are creating an AI for science and engineering: https://vicena.ai

It's connected to all papers of course, and all kinds of scientific simulators and specialised models. But I'm currently in Shanghai talking to labs to join a CloudLab (and hopefully setting up our own robotic labs), so that AI can actually order real physical experiments that are executed cheaply, efficiently and seamlessly as tool calls.

Through experiments like autoresearch we have seen that AI is already, if not always smarter, at least more systematic than humans at following the scientific method relentlessly (hypothesis-experiment loop). Let's see what we can do by connecting it to the real-world :)
