One of the challenges in using #RL for #robotics is that skills learned by robots in simulation do not typically transfer well to real-world robots.

IndustReal focuses on solving these skills and transferring these capabilities to the real world.

@CaltrainAlerts This is so frustrating…

[michaelv03 @michaelv03]

@CaltrainAlerts I am Ok. Thanks for the update!

[michaelv03 @michaelv03]

@CaltrainAlerts Can you update on what happened to train #516? I am in it and we are stopped. There seemed to be a car accident. Details?

My next piece for @StanfordDaily . The article I’m responding to is in @stanfordmag, and was sent by @StanfordAlumni . Also referenced @NFB_voice and an article by @NPRJoeShapiro that I used for an @StanfordJourn assignment. Excited for your thoughts. https://t.co/cFVvjXTWuL

Very cool tool to view code in Github using VS Code. It's a 1-step instruction to get it to work with any repo.

President Trump just said he likely was distracted by the impeachment trial and that impacted his response to coronavirus.

That is a remarkable admission.

[Jeff Tiedrich @itsJeffTiedrich]

@realDonaldTrump let's un-Fox this boast: South Korea is testing far more people *per capita* than the US. we still lag far behind. that said, the vast majority of testing is being done in New York, and that's to the credit of Gov. Cuomo, and not your own glory-hogging self

[Eugene Gu, MD @eugenegu]

@realDonaldTrump This sounds like North Korean propaganda. Only the rich and famous have been tested in America while the middle class are told to meet very stringent CDC criteria for testing and the poor, the homeless, and the uninsured are told to go away and die on the streets like animals.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Just so we're all clear, Trump says he won't use the Defense Protection Act to order companies to make more equipment to save lives because he "doesn’t want to interfere in the free market."

Explain to me how bailing out corporations isn't interfering in the free market?

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

As a former secretary of labor, I can tell you that we shouldn't be talking about stimulating the economy or going back to work.

We should be talking about shutting down the economy and keeping people home, with enough money so they can pay their bills.

If you want a Waze style of tracking Covid-19 check this out https://t.co/AOF0SGalV7 it will probably be more accurate given the scarce number of tests there have been...

“GOP *refusing to increase $ for hospitals,* but HAVE increased corporate bailout $.”

The Senate GOP plan is corrupt. Their greed & incompetence is going to get people killed. Others will be displaced, or unable to eat.

They‘re holding our country hostage for a Wall St payday.

[Eugene Gu, MD @eugenegu]

Few things inspire as much fear and dread within the Asian American community than the President of the United States scapegoating us and calling the coronavirus the Chinese Virus during a pandemic that has disrupted our lives and social order and subjected us to hate crimes.

A shift manager at a McDonald’s restaurant in Kansas City, Mo., asks why a company that earned $5.3 billion last year can’t guarantee paid sick leave for all of its workers. https://t.co/5AWIY3UORc

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Food workers.
Grocery clerks.
Cashiers.
Delivery drivers.
Warehouse stockers.

They were never “unskilled workers.”
They were always essential.

And it’s WAY past time they got the respect they deserve w/ a living wage, paid sick leave, guaranteed healthcare, hazard pay, & more.
