An afternoon nap can restore brain neuroplasticity.

Spent the last week trying to fit a fly’s brain into a $15 MCU.

Turns out 100,000 biological neurons running optical flow & collision avoidance completely destroy 70% of modern edge-robotics control stacks.

Just pure evolutionary code running on micro-drones.

Is this the next step of robotics, or are we pushing bio-tech too far?

Immortal fly is closer than you think👀

@NimaZeighami I literally have a whole fake Uber for dogs spec I used to demo Dotted early on called Doogber. It's such a standard I feel like at this point Uber For Dogs should be a benchmark.

Instead of a shot for shot remake they should have done American Harry Potter like with The Office.

Insanely cool demo.

The bottleneck isn’t XR anymore, it’s all the things they interface with! e.g. AI, 3D printers, GPUs, etc.

i trained the fly to cut doner kabab with a knife

yours solves rubiks cubes, mine cuts doner. guess which one has a job in this economy

Samsung's real business is display panels. Everything else they sell is mostly a way to package that core product. They just got Apple to do the marketing.

@hegemonopolist Why?

@IsaacKing314 Hey look, the octopus society from Children of Ruin.

This soldiering training is the most impressive and immersive I've ever tried. It is 10x better than a YouTube tutorial video. It really allowed me to see the procedure from all the points of view, and even get super close to get the details.

It is a collaboration between @gracia_vr and Imperial College London: they recorded a soldering session with Gaussian Splatting Videos (4DGS), so that you can enjoy it from your VR headset. You can see the action happening in front of you; you can pause and re-watch what you need, change the point of view, get closer, get more distant. And the quality with which it has been shot is impressive: I enjoyed this experience with my DELL Pro Max Tower T2 with NVIDIA Pro RTX 6000, and I could really see all the small details of the PCB that was being soldered!

I was really impressed by it. But I also noticed some drawbacks. First of all, some scenes have artifacts that make seeing the details of the PCB hard. I think when it comes to training involving small details, the capture and reproduction of the splat should be flawless. Then, as much as I loved it as a passive experience, I would have liked to have also some sort of practice session in VR. The power of VR is to let you learn by doing in full safety, and this kind of training does not exploit it. But maybe the best way to enjoy it would be in MR, where you have this training video close to a real workbench where you do the actual soldering while following the tutorial.

Gaussian Splat can really revolutionize training: this kind of recording is much better than any flatscreen experience, and more accurate than any 3D CGI recostruction. I suggest you give it a go at this experience in the Gracia app (it's free). Then let me know your impressions!

Anthropic putting a "watermark on text" is the ultimate way of dressing up the "we still can't make it write like a human" bug as a feature.

@NimaZeighami Welcome back dude!

@alexconia Ok great but why does the most important company on earth right now keep leaking?

Researchers at the University of Tokyo developed Lunavity, a drone backpack designed to help people jump higher.

Its rotors provide upward thrust, allowing users to jump two to three times higher than normal.

It also helps them float down slowly, creating a feeling of reduced gravity.

Middle-aged suburban moms are stealth, early tech adopters.

They just care more about cutting cloth than conspicuous computation.

E.g., this lady's sewing room has a spatially registered AR system projecting vector patterns onto fabric, plus a CNC sewing machine.
