@Karim_RC Why is everyone pre-ordering cgi vaporware?

We brought in a writer of Toy Story to build a robot that feels alive. Introducing Ongo, a desk lamp that will light up your life. Pre-order one of the first 100 units (link below).

@DJSnM @IsaacKing314 Try this for Android to MBP (Windows are well probs) -> localsend.org

@IsaacKing314 You don’t use airdrop?

In the year 2025, the most convenient way for me to send an image from my phone to my computer is to open a chat message with myself in Facebook messenger, and send myself the image.

@ErebiusWhite Perserverance.

Things to know to build a robot: - Soldering - CAD - Python - C++ Anything else?

@Sentdex 1000%

always amazed watching presidential campaigns. we got grandmas and grandpas doing non stop schedules that would absolutely kill most of us

@antoinepirrone So cool!

Progress ! sim2real walking is starting to work !

*Tesla FSD engineers watching SpaceX* "Yeah well it's easy when there's no pedestrians involved and you can just explode in an enormous fireball every time you encounter a problem 😑"

@kevsmac @Raspberry_Pi Love the design of the site!

Some stats from kevsrobots.com 55k unique visitors this month - that's a lot of people! 1 Million requests handled - by 4x @Raspberry_Pi hosted in my RobotLab. Not bad for a hobby project.

@thetanmay 💯

One of my favorite features by Claude is that I dont know who the people behind it are.

@scottmonaghan 😱

Protip: order a backup duplicate license if your state allows it. I lost my wallet today with id, debit & credit cards, and let me tell you—today was not fun. (P.S. I need to fly on Monday)

@Sentdex Don't forget cheap Hailo accelerators with lots of TOPS 🦾

raspberry pis having 2.4 GHz quad core processors with 8GB of RAM is actually epic. we have it so good these days

@KhazAkar @Sentdex More powerful but much less supported usually.

@Sentdex We have much more powerful SBC available currently than RPi :P

Got my DDSM210 wheels and controller board installed in SK00T3R. I can send commands fine and the wheels will rotate but annoyingly don't seem to be getting any feedback back from them over the UART 🤔 Good ol' banging my head against the wall for a bit incoming...

Not posting as much (mostly because I deleted Twitter off my phone) but lots of robot progress. 1. Unscripted full-autonomous battle between SK00T3R and Cassie (vac). 2. New DDSM210 motor arrived from Waveshare. They're really strong!

@makersmuse The best part of the iFixit iron is the heatproof cap. Otherwise a PINECIL with any PD battery is better, cheaper and more flexible I reckon.

Hmm irons a lil hot let me *checks notes* use a web interface to change it. 🥲

@Sentdex It's because the "unaligned chain of thought" says things like "<we need to stab the f-cker. stab-stab-stab-stab-st-no, no no, no stab BAD, we must help the user, yes Smaegol will "help" the user /then/ stab when they least expect MUAHAHAHA> there are 3 r's in strawberry."

OpenAI on why they are hiding the thought tokens: 1. They claim it's a way to "read the mind" of an AI (though AI has no mind ofc). 2. They claim it's a way for them to (not yet, but maybe later) protect you from the AI manipulating you. 3. Oh, and competitive advantage.

@VomitedThought I always found your stuff interesting, man. I'll find you on YT 🦾

@kamathsblog @scottmonaghan @serdar_abali @RoboFoundry @JRBowling Given the amount of pissing around I have done in the last 5 years with BLDCs, CAN, FOC, custom firmware, really expensive motor drivers and magnetic encoders these are gonna absolutely revolutionise my robot building- even from just a space saving perspective 🎉

@scottmonaghan @ashemah @serdar_abali @RoboFoundry @JRBowling waveshare.com/ddsm115.htm

Alternative to hoverboard motors + ZH motor drivers? @serdar_abali @scottmonaghan @RoboFoundry @JRBowling

@kamathsblog @scottmonaghan @serdar_abali @RoboFoundry @JRBowling Thanks 😄 I posted then ran away.

@kamathsblog @serdar_abali @scottmonaghan @RoboFoundry @JRBowling Also there's a sweet controller board with ESP32 available that can control a bunch of them.

@kamathsblog @serdar_abali @scottmonaghan @RoboFoundry @JRBowling Saw these the other day and was so happy. There's also a much cheaper smaller version.
