cyrux004··on Robots that learn
Agree ; got excited too soon.

was listening to Kyle Vogt about his new bot company and he described that folding laundry is sort of a frontier problem for robotics and we are still many ways out from there. There's solution from physical intelligence and probably other companies; but they are still fairly complex and not as easily reproducible https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXbrt_2Fvgk

Still looking for the LLM moment in robotics

cyrux004··on ML Engineering Online Book
As somebody who works along with Applied Scientist helping them with tasks related to model training and deployemnt; how does one get exposure to more lower level engineering work like optimization, performance etc. We have an ML infra team; but their goal is building tools around the platform, not necessarily getting workloads run optimially

cyrux004··on AMD may get across the CUDA moat

cyrux004··on We are beginning to roll out new voice and image capabilities in ChatGPT
This is pretty good. Do you think running models locally will be able to achieve performance (getting task done successfully) compared to cloud based ones.i am assuming for context of a drive through scenario it should be ok but more complex systems might need external infromation

Remote work is available to everyone on GitHub. If you submit a bunch of good PRs and show me you are easy to work with, I'm down to pay per project.

I'm not anti remote, I'm anti full time remote. It's hard to build a culture

cyrux004··on Tesla Vehicle Safety Report

cyrux004··on Tesla faces U.S. criminal probe over self-driving claims
See. This is the problem. Where do you draw the line ? I can see somebody who can come and say, adaptive cruise control and lane departure assist which applies slight tourque when the car sees your drift out of lane very helpful to them. next up, adaptive cruise control and lane centering which applies torque most of the time on straight roads but cant do curves. THis is now available most if not all car systems today , in the most basic version without any additional packages.

Then comes some smarter ones like Tesla AP or comma.ai which are pretty good at centering on straight roads, curve roads, wide lanes, lane splitting etc.

cyrux004··on Amazon announces Astro the home robot
For somebody who is interested in home robotics space; what are more affordable products to get and possibly build upon ? I had some high hopes from the Anker guys since they showed up at the Apple WWDC event, but nothing substantial since.

I have been thinking of getting DJI tello edu drone to do some basic navigating or person following; does anybody have any experience/ideas here ?
