@0x50484244 Part of it is because the iOS wireless stack has degraded severely over the last half decade. It used to be good but now I have to re-pair my headset at least once a day

I know you're not allowed to criticize the RF / connectivity gods that brought fire down from the heavens, but it is pretty crazy that Wifi and Bluetooth pairing takes (sometimes many) seconds rather than milliseconds. Connecting to iPhone hotspot is such a song and dance.

@FanaHOVA @Waymo Not sure what happened today, had one Waymo drive on the wrong side of the road in SoMa, and my other Waymo just stopped driving for a few minutes in the middle of a busy street. Never felt unsafe but odd to see…

Roadblocks as a service? @Waymo

@FlintCasey was in a Waymo a few months ago that honked at a fire truck :|

My Waymo just autonomously honked at someone. Road rage brings such a human-like quality to the robotaxi experience

@snowmaker willing to eat my shoe if Solidworks is only 10M lines of code

What's interesting about Aurorin is that instead of building an AI chat plugin for existing CAD software, they're building new CAD software from scratch. This would have been impossible before AI coding got good, because Solidworks is 10M lines of code. But it is now plausible for a small team to just rebuild it.

@boxcardavid there is no established American robotics industry to lobby congress against it, just eager American consumers who want home and industrial robots

The odds of the USA allowing 400 million autonomous Chinese robots into the USA is zero. Build a company based on that constraint.

@dylan522p @sriramk if the exponentials hold true, Claude code will be authoring over 130% of commits by August

4% of GitHub public commits are being authored by Claude Code right now. At the current trajectory, we believe that Claude Code will be 20%+ of all daily commits by the end of 2026. While you blinked, AI consumed all of software development. Read more 👇 newsletter.semianalysis.com/p/claude-code-…

anyone know where the undo/refund button is in Robinhood?

@elonmusk please no don’t retire the Model S 😭😭😭😭

The Tesla Model S and Model X are amazing vehicles. Get them while still available!

@aelluswamy @typesfast I drive this street often too. Another major problem is FSD thinks it’s on the highway when it’s actually on Division St. One has a speed limit of 65mph, and the other of 25mph. Might have to improve speed limit detection so its first guess isn’t off just GPS

@typesfast Noted, will improve!

@aelluswamy At this exit of the 101 North > Octavia Street Off Ramp there is no merge lane, two lanes of 50+ mph come together instantly with zero advanced notice to either side. Absolutely horrendous freeway design. Humans mess this up all the time, you simply can’t be in those lanes as they merge. However, Tesla FSD doesn’t understand this yet, and will certainly kill someone here soon if you don’t fix it.

@i2cjak likely electro static actuators like in DLP

it's a... mems... relay... what the fuck. how

@karpathy this has some pretty serious implications, this is basically a pretty simple (but absolutely real) network pentest carried out end to end by an agent

I was inspired by this so I wanted to see if Claude Code can get into my Lutron home automation system. - it found my Lutron controllers on the local wifi network - checked for open ports, connected, got some metadata and identified the devices and their firmware - searched the internet, found the pdf for my system - instructed me on what button to press to pair and get the certificates - it connected to the system and found all the home devices (lights, shades, HVAC temperature control, motion sensors etc.) - it turned on and off my kitchen lights to check that things are working (lol!) I am now vibe coding the home automation master command center, the potential is 🔥.And I'm throwing away the crappy, janky, slow Lutron iOS app I've been using so far. Insanely fun :D :D

@MarwaEldiwiny the weird deformable physics of shoes has made some of my simple MLP policies go haywire out of distribution

I’ve been thinking about whether adding shoes to robots makes things harder or provides benefits. I remember discussing this with Dennis Hong, and he said that adding shoes to ARTEMIS gave inherent benefits for locomotion. I’m curious why some people think it makes things harder.

@EMostaque @PBSSpaceTime for a mix of astrophysics and quantum topics

What is the best physics podcast

@srush_nlp NYC finance in the 90s through ‘08

Curious what the right historical analogy is to 2025 San Francisco. A major city that is so completely focused economically and culturally on a single industry. Nearly impossible to even move about the city without it being apparent.

@andrewmccalip Carnot efficiency and conservation of energy are concepts only inside of the matrix. in the real world harvesting energy from humans works

Thinking back, the Matrix was a thermodynamic nightmare. The Carnot efficiency of humans for energy production is laughably bad. We should have been using their brains for distributed compute.

bruh X price increase comes with ads and temporarily losing my checkmark….

@paularambles is there a mailing list for these? 😅 also is there some hidden restaurant/place that sells cooked meals in the bay? the closest thing I found was a Bulgarian grocery store in San Mateo

going to a “romanians in sf” dinner where we'll speak exclusively in english because we're all byelingual

I wonder what happened to Apple’s Bluetooth stack, I’m having to repair devices multiples times a week to my phones and tables

pretty crazy to watch (no pun intended) nano banana pro not be able to draw a watch with anything but 10:05 without serious prompting

@emmysteuer 20+ year waitlist for slips at the marinas

Why don’t more people have boats in sf
