@Stone_Tao @physical_int Which simulation will you be working on?

[Ayush Deshmukh @AayushDesh]

I wonder what new sports we will see rise as we move towards a world that doesn’t need humans to run it.

my sim2real dexterous in-hand manipulation work taught me one annoying thing: there's no shortcut to measuring the sim2real gap. you run rollouts on the real robot.

reset the object, run it, watch, mark pass/fail, reset. dozens per checkpoint. it eats days.🧵

[Ayush Deshmukh @AayushDesh]

it's not free: reset policy + classifier per scene and binary success only.

but the direction is right. what slows robot learning isn't always training, sometimes we just can't measure fast enough. pointing automation at eval itself is a lever nobody really pulled.

I'm convinced that the single greatest challenge for any ambitious person is eliminating the guilt associated with free time and rest.
