"Hardware is hard" was the warning, and now it's the moat.
Pure software is rapidly becoming un-investable.

A lot of these demos are genuinely impressive. There is definitely something being faked with the car lift though. The suspension should unload and then you lift the car. There is no unload here.

Apple used to be the pinnacle of seamless cross platform use. Now every time i have to do something on my kid's ipad I want to throw the ipad through the window after doing all the humilation rituals required to download an app. Clearly, the only answer is my 4 y.o. is getting 4chan.

Are you doing RL for a stuffy Karen type company? Would you like to push the performance envelope instead of literally push envelopes? Send a DM. I'm hiring.

Think you've got what it takes to be the world's best robot pilot? Step up or get REK'D.

You know what's more exciting than a new RL control policy working out of the box on a humanoid? A new RL control policy not working out of the box on a humanoid that has weapons.

Those yellow dots of WandB had become such a normal part of my life, now that they're gone, I'm lost. I'm always looking for them, but CoreWeave replaced them with CW which sounds like a local TV station with melodramas.

Listen to @kscottz
I'm at most major robotics events and I've never even seen a Figure robot. The prevailing opinion of people I talk to in the robotics industy is that humanoids are a bubble waiting to pop. @REK and @UnitreeRobotics are the only companies with appreciable revenue.

"That's right you dirty slut." Is one of many phrases I slung at the knee actuator while working on it recently. Am I the only one who talks dirty to machines while working on them?

Turns out, robots can get gassed in a fight just like a human. The PM01 is a dynamic little robot, but it has a tendency to overheat.
