Sharing my walk with God and what I'm building. Boston, MA.

[Ferbin @Ferbin08]

Today I gave my life to Jesus.

I've spent years trying to plan every step myself. I'm done carrying that alone. From today I'm following Him, wherever He leads.

I'll be sharing this walk here, one day at a time. 🙏

[Ferbin @Ferbin08]

Day 10. Ten days in and I'm still learning to take things one day at a time.

"Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself." Matthew 6:34

Today I only need to follow the next step.

[Ferbin @Ferbin08]

Day 9. I'm still learning to ask for help instead of white-knuckling everything.

"Cast all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you." 1 Peter 5:7

Today I'm handing God the worries I keep picking back up.

[Ferbin @Ferbin08]

Day 8. Some mornings I still catch myself trying to plan everything.

"Commit your work to the LORD, and your plans will be established." Proverbs 16:3

Today I'm handing the plans over to Him first, then getting to work.

[Ferbin @Ferbin08]

Day 7. One week in. I'm still learning that I don't need to have everything figured out.

"The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want." Psalm 23:1

A shepherd leads. The sheep just follow. I'm trying to be okay with that.

[Ferbin @Ferbin08]

Day 6. I'm learning that following Jesus doesn't mean knowing the whole road.

"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." Psalm 119:105

A lamp, not a floodlight. Just enough for the next step. Today that's enough for me.

[Ferbin @Ferbin08]

Day 5. I'm learning that I don't have to be strong all the time.

"Cast your burden on the LORD, and he will sustain you." Psalm 55:22

I keep picking my worries back up. Today I'm trying to leave them with Him.

[Ferbin @Ferbin08]

@SajithKrishnaa @jovvvian Never

[Ferbin @Ferbin08]

Day 4. Honestly, I still reach for the plan first. Old habits.

"Commit your work to the LORD, and your plans will be established." Proverbs 16:3

Today I'm handing it over before I start. One step at a time.

[Ferbin @Ferbin08]

Day 3. Today I'm just trying to be patient.

"Be still, and know that I am God." Psalm 46:10

I'm used to rushing to the next step. Today I'm learning to sit still and let Him be God, so I don't have to be.

[Ferbin @Ferbin08]

Day 2. Still new at this, and I don't have it all figured out.

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding." Proverbs 3:5

Today I'm trying to lean a little less on me.

[Ferbin @Ferbin08]

@_namori_fan_ Dear lord, please be with your child! Give your child your blessing hands, your healing and renewed strength and mercy amen. God’s with you don’t let worry amen!!

Thank you @wajo_ai and @shivanipod for the special mention for Hyperion!

Getting Fo to close the loop on a broken robot (call the on-call tech, book the visit, email the report) was so fun to build.

Congrats @AbhiSuryawanshi on Fomi, and to everyone who built this weekend.

[Fo by Wajo AI @wajo_ai]

We just gave $1000 to the coolest Fo MCP hack:

❤️‍🔥Fomi by @AbhiSuryawanshi is a camera that notices a possible fall, checks in, and has Fo call a chosen caregiver. Fo MCP, hardware, vision and caregiving in one. Congrats!

Special mentions:

🤖 Hyperion by @Ferbin08: when a warehouse robot breaks, Fo phones the on-call tech, books the visit and emails the report

🫘CrossCheck by @AnandInduk8825: Fo calls restaurant kitchens for diners with severe allergies and books only the safe ones

@MrBeast Jimmy, I just took 2nd at a hackathon building robots on a laptop that's below the minimum spec for the simulator I use. I also teach robotics on Udemy. A real GPU rig would be a game changer 🙏 https://t.co/m07RvjRFRx

[Ferbin @Ferbin08]

I took 2nd at #Hackachusetts building robots in NVIDIA Isaac Sim on a laptop: RTX 4050 with 6 GB VRAM and 16 GB RAM.

NVIDIA's minimum spec for Isaac Sim is 8 GB+ VRAM and 32 GB RAM. I'm below the floor.

@nvidia @NVIDIARobotics @elonmusk @MrBeast, help me get a real rig? 🧵

[Ferbin @Ferbin08]

@elonmusk @bot I build bridge-inspection robots in Isaac Sim and just took 2nd at #Hackachusetts, all on a 6 GB laptop GPU with 16 GB RAM. A real rig would be a game changer 🙏 https://t.co/m07RvjR81Z

[Ferbin @Ferbin08]

@NVIDIARobotics Built our 2nd-place #Hackachusetts project in Isaac Sim on an RTX 4050 laptop, below Isaac Sim's own minimum spec. A drone + underwater ROV inspecting bridges. Would love to see what I could do on a real RTX rig 🙏 https://t.co/m07RvjRFRx

[Ferbin @Ferbin08]

Day to day: Isaac Sim, ROS 2 and RViz fighting over 6 GB of VRAM, 40 GB of swap so the sim isn't killed, overnight renders, and today I deleted whole projects to free disk.

I build bridge-inspection robots and 36 robotics courses on Udemy. A real GPU = bigger sims, faster 🤖
