Leslie Lamport (Creator of LaTex): "If you think you know something but don't write it down. You only think you know something. It reveals what you haven't said. And that there's steps in there. You may think they're obvious, but you haven't written them down. And that's where errors come in. That's where that one third of the paper's errors come in, because it really makes you honest."

Leslie Lamport won a Turing award for his fundamental contributions to distributed systems. For instance, he invented the Paxos consensus algorithm that is a critical component of many distributed systems today. I interviewed him about his work and career. We discussed: • Why he never considered himself smart • The stories behind Paxos and Byzantine Generals Problem • Experiences working with Dijkstra • Paxos vs Raft Algorithms • How to improve your thinking Where to watch: • YouTube: youtu.be/U719vQz-WFs • Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/7JHYsz… • Apple Podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the… • Transcript: developing.dev/p/turing-award…

Let your robots hear slips with A-SLIP! 🤖🎧 How can a robot detect in-hand slip and estimate its direction and magnitude without cameras or fragile tactile skins? A-SLIP uses piezoelectric microphones embedded in grippers to hear it. a-slip.github.io 🧵1/7

🧐 Simulation has long promised robot pretraining, but breaks at the moment of real-world deployment. 🚀 Today, we introduce SIM1: the first real-to-sim-to-real paradigm where the generative world becomes the same one as reality. SIM1 produces simulation data whose execution is directly valid in the physical world, enabling policies trained entirely in simulation to transfer zero-shot, at scale. 📈 This unlocks a new scaling law for robotics: we scale intelligence without scaling real-world data. ✨ Few demonstrations in, real-world policies out. Simulation is no longer a proxy; it is supervision itself. internrobotics.github.io/sim1.github.io/ huggingface.co/papers/2604.08…

I built this thing called Clicky. It's an AI teacher that lives as a buddy next to your cursor. It can see your screen, talk to you, and even point at stuff, kinda like having a real teacher next to you. I've been using it the past few days to learn Davinci Resolve, 10/10.

People and agents would be better at writing code if you could easily check what value a variable usually has in production:

I trained models across MacBooks using Apple's AirDrop protocol. grove is a distributed training library for Apple Silicon. Devices discover each other over AWDL, a direct radio link. If there's a shared WiFi network it upgrades to that for speed, otherwise everything goes over the direct link. No router, no cloud, no setup. grove start
