testing robot policies has never been so much fun

@vikhyatk @eringriffith Two 30u30?! No need for any further due diligence to know one shouldnt be involved wit this company!

@eringriffith lol

A detailed and brutal look at the tactics of buzzy AI compliance startup Delve "Delve built a machine designed to make clients complicit without their knowledge, to manufacture plausible deniability while producing exactly the opposite." substack.com/home/post/p-19…

It's not always a bold lie either. In demos for example, certain things are not made clear and left up to the viewer to just "guess." I cannot help but think the intent is to encourage and allow the viewer, journalists, VCs...etc to assume vastly more capability than exists.

Gooooood morning! Spring is coming.

Introducing G1 Moves! 60 open-source motion capture clips + trained RL policies for the Unitree G1 humanoid robot. Come see live robot mocap and interactive roasts at the Dell booth at #GTC this week! huggingface.co/spaces/exptech… #DellProPrecision #DellTech #NVIDIA #Robotics

incredible progress and pace from this team

Coming soon to mjlab: heterogeneous worlds, aka every world gets its own object 👀

World’s first robot autonomously kicking human 😂 K1 probably recognized my white shoes as soccer ball. Reminder: only activate K1 autonomous soccer mode in the soccer field!

@KinvertOG yeah I absolutely hated school. such a waste of time. It's really just daycare

@Sentdex As far as homeschooling, it's in the top 10 battles we can fight right now in importance, and it's very high up there as far as the ones we can truly take in our own hands and make happen. You prob have smart kids. School was VERY boring for me. Mine learn REAL stuff and FAST.

Gm. We do a bit of building before a week of building.

@KinvertOG no matter when, now's always a better time to build than in 5 years. I don't even wanna know what I'll be paying for 2x4s in 5 years. Would be cool to one day justify a portable sawmill tho. As for homeschooling, that's looking more and more like what my kids will do. We'll see

@Sentdex One of my huge regrets was not building sooner. I was too busy. Now I'm even busier, and it's more expensive. Also hard deciding where to settle down. Our homeschool laws are better than NH, but NH is improving while MI is getting worse. Can only guess what is best.

@KinvertOG Man i just HAPPENED to fill my diesel pump/tank a few weeks ago. Just in time lol. Doubt prices will come down before i gotta fill it again tho.

@Sentdex Crushing it out there. Getting ready to build a barn here and ofc diesel goes through the roof.

@Figure_robot brother this room was already tidy

Today we're showing Helix 02 that can tidy a living room fully autonomously Figure is designed so when you leave the house, your home resets exactly how you like it

@Joblight1 @Figure_robot I have a unitree g1. I'm aware of their capability to dance. The hardware is cool. But China is not leading in robot intelligence. No one really is from what I can tell.

@Sentdex @Figure_robot check this out , China is rapidly advancing in AI Robots

@Joblight1 @Figure_robot so youre saying chinese robots are just all fake AI video? Because that's what this is lol

@Figure_robot Meanwhile Chinese robots

@herodvolk you're making an assertion that abstraction is and must be linear. I think you'll need to define and defend that point.

@Sentdex You make an indirect claim that what we experiencing is another linear abstraction level.. it is becoming clear that it is not the case

I remember trying to force myself to use C++ to do the same things I could do 100x faster in Python. I just couldn't do it. Not because it was hard, because there was no point for that particular problem. There are obviously still many important and useful usecases for C++ today, but the needs have changed over time. Abstraction is a good and natural thing. It's a core human capability that has given us our entire civilization and allows us to progress technologically. When assembly hit, the machine coders disliked it. When C++ came around, the C/Assembly people disliked it. C++ people still often dislike Python. It's definitely okay to be sad about change, and Mo's take here seems super human and genuine, recognizing mostly that times are changing, but the argument is false. Mo is not useless. Mo just needs harder problems to solve.

@wale_os You don't think machine coders accused assembly of being a new paradigm? C++ definitely was too. Python was too. Assembly wasn't even real engineering. It's all the same arguments about how THIS level of abstraction for the job of engineering has gone too far.

@Sentdex This is comparing apples to oranges. Python, C++, and Assembly are programming languages. They generally fit in the same box. LLMs are a completely different paradigm.

@dhruvmakes Either you wrote your tweet goofy or you misread. It's cursor's analysis of anthropic's cost for claude code plans.

Cursor’s internal analysis just leaked. Their $200/month Claude Code plan… actually costs them ~$5,000 in compute. Last year it was ~$2,000. Is this shit really sustainable or we are gonna forgot how to code and then AI also gets mad expensive

@atmoio If using AI for your problems has become too easy, you need harder problems Python is/was disliked by C++ers. Abstraction made things too easy. You lose your edge. C++ was disliked by the c/assembly folks. Assembly was disliked by the machine coders. We keep living thru it

I was a 10x engineer. Now I'm useless.

@cixliv I'd like to see this hitting a bag

We having fun with our new robot boi. He got gas in moves. Who's ready to see him fight?
