@poetengineer__ Very cool.

all my obsidian notes are now a living, digital garden 🌿🌸 each plant is a notes from a tag: older ones on the trunk, newer ones as leaves. i wanted to create a sense of tending your garden, so scrubbing the timeline lets you watch your notes grow chronologically.

@TimotheePeter I’m interested in testing it with the team. Please reach out when ready. DM and I can share my email!

@basikthings Thanks! Current plan is to monetize it, yes. Not against having a free license for non-commercial use though.

Here's me modeling a spherical five bar linkage using code

@latentspacepod @ebarcuzzi An obvious one to me is the perception stack where the industry is already very accustomed to making long term bets on silicon enabling a use case. The long term bets are the same, but the solution space broadens to not just thinking about sensor silicon but also compute silicon.

@ebarcuzzi yes. if you cant see it you are not creative enough

Unitree humanoids are finally getting to work. 🤖 Unitree just deployed their G1 robots at their own factory. Powered by the UnifoLM-X1-0 embodied model, these bots are actually handling manufacturing tasks on the assembly line. It is pretty wild to watch robots literally building their own kind.

@HaoruXue @breadli428 Agreed, organizers at this workshop regularly let speakers go over 5-15m. This also made it hard to coordinate time across workshops. Definitely something they need to pay attention to.

It was absolutely disgraceful seeing the venue people just rudely cut the mic. Even when @breadli428 repeatedly beg for just 3 more minutes and he will be done, the person simply repeated robotically: you should have been done. I was clearing rooms one by one. It’s the event organizer’s fault. Absolutely no respect at all.

@basicprompts @snappyprompts I’ve built a scraper with playwright to scroll through a page.

@aj_hugs Do what works for you and the project, but I never see this kind of modeling after several years on the job. This is a way to do top down modeling, but I think you’ll find that it’s brittle and might not scale well when faced with big architecture changes.

This is how I've been modeling for 6 years (Solidworks / Onshape) 1) Only sketches and planes (variables at the very start) 2) All the features (extrudes, revolves, fillets, etc) but always only 1 of each part (to keep assembly BoM correct) 3) Full assembly What say the MechE's on here?

@frankzydou Will this session be streamed ?

🚀 We’ll be hosting a Tutorial on "3D Human Motion Generation and Simulation" at ICCV 2025 in Honolulu, Hawaii! 🌺 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🧗🏊🚴🕺🤖 📅 Date: October 19, 2025 ⏰ Time: 9:00–16:00 (HST) This tutorial brings together leading researchers to cover the foundations and latest advances in motion and interaction modeling. Topics include: 1️⃣ Human motion generation basics 2️⃣ Kinematic- and physics-based motion models 3️⃣ Controllability of motion generation 4️⃣ Human-object/scene interactions 5️⃣ Co-speech gesture synthesis 👩‍🏫 🎤 Speakers & Organizers include experts from Meta, Nvidia, ETH, MPI, Northeastern University, University of Pennsylvania, MIT, and more. Particularly, we will be honored to have Libin Liu, Zhengyi (Zen) Luo, Xianghui Xie, Korrawe Karunratanakul as our speakers. Whether you’re a PhD student, researcher, or industry practitioner, we belive this tutorial will provide deep technical insights, practical methods, and exciting open problems to explore in the years ahead. 🔗 More details & resources: 3dmogen.github.io #ICCV2026 #3DHumanMotion #GenerativeAI #Simulation #robotics #ComputerVision #DeepLearning #ICCV #AI #Motion #Animation

@cixliv @PTrubey This whole conversation is confusing. Most American robot companies are developing their own actuators. Many times those actuators have parts that are sourced in China or even assembled in China but that is not the same thing as a Chinese actuator.

@PTrubey all the "american" robot companies are using chinese actuators. only exception is tesla.

Most Americans don't get how fast Chinese robots are improving and scaling. I can buy this robot and get it to my door in 2-3 weeks. Meanwhile you can't buy a single American humanoid robot (yet).

@yacineMTB The median across those fields is not very different on a per company basis.

its honestly insane how much more money software engineers make compared to electrical engineers and mechanical engineers. its not like its any harder

@TheHumanoidHub The black potting compound is not insulating, it’s actually the opposite, thermally conductive for heat dissipation. It’s electrically insulating though.

Figure released a video showcasing the manufacturing process of the F.03 battery pack: ⦿ 78% cheaper than the previous-gen pack ⦿ 2kW fast charging with active cooling ⦿ Withstand 1-meter drops onto concrete from any angle ⦿ Insulative potting for thermal safety

@eigensteve Bought your last book. I’ll get this one too!

New Book & Video Series!!! (late 2025) Optimization Bootcamp: Applications in Machine Learning, Control, and Inverse Problems Comment for a sneak peak to help proofread and I'll DM (proof reading, typos, HW problems, all get acknowledgment in book!)

@kepano If we were to use this on an iPhone, is there a theme you would recommend for this use case ?

Obsidian Bases + Obsidian Web Clipper is the web archival tool I always wanted replaces my read-it-later app and saves everything to local markdown files

@mferraro89 That’s really cool. What’s your eventual goal with the app?

I've spent the last few months building a browser-based FEA tool and I'm looking for alpha users! If you're interested, DM me and I'll get you set up

@andrewmccalip If this was ferromagnetic the behavior would be totally different. It would immediately snap to the lowest energy state that increases flux density through the magnetic circuit. You would see the sample pinned to the floor instead of float up.

I don't want to succumb to the echo chamber just yet, it seems weird, but could we explain this another way? Is there a lead compound that exhibits ferromagnetic behavior? I cracked open the 3rd tube but didn't see any results. The log picture posted earlier was from that experiment. The materials seem poorly reacted, that's for sure. It will be interesting to do the 20hr ones later today.

Meissner effect or bust: Day 8.5 We made the rocks

@jrhwood @PPathole @elonmusk Those are for the coolant to flow to the coolant channels! Organized to not impede flow.

@PPathole @elonmusk My OCD appreciates that cable management (on a macro scale) way too much!

Tesla's massive casting machine is 🤯 @elonmusk
