Announcing $60M for @maticrobots.

We didn't ask "What's the most impressive robot we can demo?"

We asked "What's the most useful robot we can ship? What comes after Roomba?"

Customers answered with their wallets: It's Matic.

@SuryaGanguli @TheHumanoidHub Don’t know for this one, but this article suggests 45% higher. I’m surprised if it’s only that much. https://t.co/d5vmy2EY54

@prof_grimmer And so did GPT 5 Pro.

[Rahul Panicker @RahulAPanicker]

@prof_grimmer Well, Gemini 2.5 Pro got it. Though, in the chat history, I did ask it about the slice problem first (which it got), and then projection.

[Rahul Panicker @RahulAPanicker]

@prof_grimmer Oh, so what would qualify? Has to have a circular-conical or cylindrical tangent?

[Rahul Panicker @RahulAPanicker]

@danish037 @tarungupta360 Congratulations, Danish!

[Rahul Panicker @RahulAPanicker]

@hthieblot Would love to.

This is a very inspiring weekend read. At 33, @PThorpe92 has now spent 1/3rd of his life in jail, and a quarter of that in solitary confinement, but today, thanks to some amazing programs in Maine, he works full-time as a software engineer for database company Turso while still in jail, paying 10% of his wages to the state.

When Preston was 20, he went to jail for selling MDMA and Marijuana he bought on the dark web. He went to jail for a few years, got out with $0 and not many options and fell back into crime. By chance, he got transfered to Maine, the only state that lets inmates study for college while in jail.

Preston studied remotely at the University of Maine Augusta and became obsessed with programming and ended up becoming a volunteer contributor to an open source project that led to a full-time job.

Those that take college courses while in jail in Maine have a recidivism rate of 0.5%, compared to ~68% nationwide (3 year recidivism rate).

Highly recommend reading the article, and even better his blog posts linked below.

[Rahul Panicker @RahulAPanicker]

@RishadPremji What a life of generosity he has led. Warm birthday wishes and gratitude to your dad, Rishad.

@Jikkuvarghese All the best, Jikku. What next?

[Rahul Panicker @RahulAPanicker]

@chris_j_paxton Hardware doesn’t support. Need to use other means like policy over ethernet (not onboard), and wired power with estop.
