The movement of these robots quite mesmerizing. They have the jankiness of learnt not planned path finding. It feel like were in an uncanny valley of movement.
Watch this robot cook shrimp and clean autonomously
Even cheap hardware can perform complex tasks, and AI is helping robots get smarter still.

The replies.... We all miss Google Reader and we all recognise that signaled the end of the organic internet and growth of the algorithmic tampered internet.
Watching Google shutter things that actually worked, like Google Play Music, and now Google Podcasts, to turn them into YouTube Music is like someone coming into your kitchen who takes away your blender and kettle then lets you know you'll now only be able to boil water or blend things in your car.

I am an abolute sucker for an Elite (1980s game) technical video. This one is great:

Elite: "The game that couldn't be written"
Elite may be the most complex 8-bit game ever produced. And it was arguably the most groundbreaking game ever released for its time. Back in the early 1980s ...

Quite a fun coincidence. Last week a post I saw asked why there has been so little progress on the topic of Modular Biology since the concept was published in 1999

Cellular functions, such as signal transmission, are carried out by ‘modules’ made up of many species of interacting molecules. Understanding how modules work has depended on combining phenomenolo...

The current v1 Bluesky system is designed to scale to 1M users. And today we're going to hit 1M users!

We will, of course, keep pushing things and *try* to smoothly transition to the v2 Bluesky system later this year. It's designed for >10M users.

We just have to finish building the v2 system!

Generative AI suggesting Proteins from the Baker Lab.
Watch Generative AI Design a Customized Protein in Seconds
Instead of generating images or written passages, new generative AI algorithms create novel proteins, some of which have never been seen before.

I’ve been watching Tango’s streams for the last 3 days. Decked Out 2 is an incredible feat of Minecraft Engineering. Just mind blowing.

#Hermitcraft
Huge shoutout to Tango for hovering around TEN THOUSAND viewers all afternoon while streaming Decked Out -- this despite a super big QSMP Lore Event at the same time

People like Minecraft. Its not going away. Its not "on the decline" - people just enjoy it
