Building something new @ SPC. ex zipline. ex covariant

[Gabriel Nakajima An @gabrinaka]

@philippswu @xdofai @YideShentu @itsnemojin Awesome work!

[Gabriel Nakajima An @gabrinaka]

@wellingmax when is your book coming out?

@kepano @obsdmd Bullet point indent change by swiping left/right (how it’s done in ios Notes)

[Zipline @zipline]

Welcome to the future, Pea Ridge.

[Ryan Oksenhorn @ryanzip]

1/ Today, Zipline unveiled our next generation delivery drone system, designed to provide the best home delivery service the planet has ever seen. It's so out-there that you probably won't believe your eyes... 🧵

the fact that if you take a giant blob of hydrogen and let physics do its thing for a few billion years, you eventually end up with self-assembling atomic nano-robots never ceases to fucking blow my mind

Pigeon solving the banana problem. Thinking outside the box.

After many hours of retraining my brain to operate in this "priming" approach, I also now have a sick GPT-3 demo: English to LaTeX equations! I'm simultaneously impressed by its coherence and amused by its brittleness -- watch me test the fundamental theorem of calculus.

Lots of nice feedback on the OpenAI API but the best yet is from a friend's 13 year old kid:

"Is it really a computer doing this? Not a person?"
"Yes."
...5 seconds of silence...
"That is the coolest thing in the entire world!"
...10 seconds of silence...
"I'm going to study AI"

This is mind blowing.

With GPT-3, I built a layout generator where you just describe any layout you want, and it generates the JSX code for you.

This photo of the sun might not look too impressive... until you realize it was taken at night – not looking up but looking down, through the entire Earth, using neutrinos rather than light. Amazing! https://t.co/oX02ZCUemw

[Jeff Dean @JeffDean]

This video is a good reminder of why low latency, on-device ML is an important piece for creating really nice, natural-feeling user interfaces.

@keshav_swarup Love it

[Gabriel Nakajima An @gabrinaka]

Best thing about working @CovariantAI? Definitely being part of such an incredible team!

Very exciting new set of environments for research in causal inference and RL! by @mrtz

Shout-out to my friend @keshav_swarup who's working tirelessly on @Carbon 3d printed swabs for #coronavirus tests!!

[Joseph DeSimone @Joseph_DeSimone]

New swabs for #coronavirus tests printed @Carbon today. National supply of swabs low. Four designs being tested by partners at @Stanford tonight. Two designs @FedEx out tonight for testing @Harvard @BDandCo & @czbiohub, & @UNC tomorrow. Plan is to select final design, then scale!

[Covariant @CovariantAI]

Interested in what ABB's competition looked like? We made a new *uncut* 30+ min video to show an ABB/Covariant robot picking lots of difficult items from the original challenge, from rubber 🦆 to 🍎to💊bottles. (Full video here: https://t.co/LueU0uJvMG)
