Blast from the past: worked on a robotic waiter idea on EDDIE for the Microsoft Robotics@Home Competition — Microsoft Robotics Studio, Windows, C#, OpenCV, and getting Python to cooperate.

Programmed it remotely from Singapore because the robot couldn’t be shipped.

Wild how much has changed since then. So much more is possible now.

Happy Pi Day!

Einstein's birthday, and Pi Day today. Because March 14 is written as 3.14 in the US, the first 3 numbers in the irrational number Pi.
And what could be more irrational than thinking that, exactly 25 years ago, two batters could last through the whole day and lead India to one of the greatest ever test victories against the Australian juggernaut.
March 14th, Einstein Day, Pi Day, & Dravid and Laxman Day!

The future of CAD design is clear:

> Sketch something with pencil and paper
> Ask Nano Banana Pro to turn this into a machine shop drawing
> Use Meta SAM to turn the drawing into an uneditable 3D object

This week's episode is mostly about robots.

Kyle Vogt is one of very few entrepreneurs to found 3 business valued at over a billion dollars - Twitch in 2006, Cruise in 2013, and The Bot Company in 2024.

If you've caught any other Uncapped episodes you've probably heard some investors saying that home robots are close and they'll be a giant new market. @kvogt is building them, and talking to him made me as bullish as ever.

Hey @AravSrinivas—love Perplexity Patents. Idea: pipe results into PatentDock → auto-build draft/claims and export .docx. We use Google Patents with our own ranking on top. Mind taking a look? https://t.co/AFtgAr4yRy

[Aravind Srinivas @AravSrinivas]

Perplexity Patents: now supporting search and research across patents.

Next to come: Perplexity Scholar (for academic research).

Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people; and idiots discuss local real estate.

Stop using LLMs as your silver bullet.
Developers: "LLM will solve this" → product fails → "AI isn't ready yet"
LLMs work when they translate between humans and systems.

If you could build a specialized robot to automate one task, which one would you choose?

AI has transformed how we write, code, and design.

Not sure if it’s reached the workbenches of everyday builders —
the hackers, makers, and inventors.

When it does, creating hardware could feel as fast as writing code.

What would your tools do, if they could think?
