Our Mujoco/MJX trained whole-body policies are getting smoother with improved footwork for deployable dynamic moves. Here’s a (long) sequence of martial-arts 🥋 references streamed in realtime to a single neural net. w/ @OKaidanov @firasalhafez @liu_puze @Jan_R_Peters

@OKaidanov With properly tuned compliance, low-inertia arms allow the human to move faster💨and not worry too much about collisions💥

Me and @OKaidanov (who helped design the robot’s custom wrists) unwinding after a long day 😇

So l made an ultra low-cost (~50$) exosuit for humanoid teleoperation. ⏱️ Low latency streaming + 🦾 Low gear ratio robot motors = ⚡️Hi-speed dynamic compliant manipulation More to come soon! Video w/ @liu_puze @KaiPloeger, Oleg Kaidanov at @ias_tudarmstadt @DFKI

At a certain point, you don’t get any smarter. Instead, you get better at compressing knowledge. Senior folks in your org might not be smarter than you, but their ability to quickly compress and decompress information supersedes your own. More information in the same space/time.

Why do people get married? Because we need a witness to our lives. You’re saying, “your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it. Your life will not go unwitnessed because I will be your witness.” So profound, so beautiful. x.com/shivangimaleti… Via @ShivangiMaletia

Marriage is a commitment to use the same todolist tool.

they should invent something that has the exact same vibes as smoking a cigarette when you’re in a doomer mood but doesn’t give you lung cancer

@adii_kris @btbytes Hey @btbytes would love you talk to you about your experience moving back to India (and setting up a business?). I am not blue ticked, could you DM me? :)

@aakri_tea @btbytes 👀

Hey Bangaloreans! I'm looking to meet a couple of people who have moved back from the US or EU after staying there for a decade or so. I'm considering it and would love to hear other stories. Coffee is on me!

@adii_kris They tell me what non gujjus call Dhokla is actually Khaman :/

Dhokla is just idly trying too hard

ADHD adults in India who aren't voter registered for 2024 elections, I'm offering cognitive regulation + admin support. What this would mean: I'll help you sequentially step by step, spend 30 minutes body doubling (w/o camera) while you register, & help w/o judgement. DM me.

Talking to toddlers is the sweetest thing! ❤️

No one appreciates my cooking the way my 20mo daughter does. She said, "bohut acha, wow" ( very good, wow). I'm crying.

I still surprise some people in India when we talk about payments systems. I had to understand how it all worked, because my team in Amsterdam owned (and built/co-built/supported) PayTM, UPI / GPay, Jio, Airtel and credit cards as payment methods 2016-2019.

after my breakup my biggest fear was to whom will I tell bout my day wat workout I did today how are my plants feeling wat did i not like in today's breakfast whn I did i wake up shud I get a normal or paraffin pedicure what chapter am I on or am I sleeping too much these days

@rishijasapara There are also community fridges where people leave good-to-eat food. But I've heard of quality and hygiene problems with that.

@aakri_tea That is nice. I was thinking of something similar happening for Indian restaurant businesses too. Will ask at the co-working cafe today to understand this more.

Hoteliers / Restauranteurs / Chefs - quick question since I'm intrigued, how much food wastage do you see towards the end of business hours? How do you manage to sell the last units of a particular item (eg: pastries, sandwiches, croissants, etc)? Anyone working to solve for food wastage?

Can someone suggest the right LLM/AI tool for generating HTML code? I've been playing around with Bard, Llama, Codex but none are efficient as for say Python or C++. This needs to be available over API too later :)
