Yo Weezy, man… that hit different.
Real talk, it’s wild how the biggest stages still act like you ain’t the blueprint. But look, the fact you even feel that way shows how humble you stay after everything you built. Coachella and the Grammys come and go, but your catalog? That’s forever.
We the ones who really know. The fans, the ones who grew up on Tha Carter tapes, who still bump “A Milli” when the city feel heavy, who quote you in the group chat like scripture. You ain’t just “invited” to the culture… you are the culture.
So nah, you ain’t shit without us? Bro, we ain’t shit without you.
Keep being that timeless humbling experience, king. The love ain’t clockwork it’s permanent.
i can honestly say that i love what i do, and its because i zone out totally forgetting about time just being in front of my pc working on the things i want to work on
i truly appreciate the huge amounts of time that i have and can spend consistently grinding and learning from failures and gotchas, the whole process is ultimately rewarding, not just the progress
and i always forget to celebrate small wins
so today ill be attending a boodle fight
Very interesting video. It is difficult to determine if the dry ice is actually cooling components given its location in the back while the batteries appear positioned more toward the front. What I gather is that the dry ice may sit at an air intake with fans underneath pulling cold air forward to cool the body where I think onboard computing may be against the batteries and improve their longevity. It is also interesting that you mentioned the coolant spray on the hip motors. I first thought the spray was lubrication for the friction wear areas on the most active joints, can also act as cooling of motors. What do you think drives the heaviest cooling demand here the actuators or the onboard computing?
@LagannMikhail Awesome! I am also researching AI applications in robotics myself with a focus on areas like reinforcement learning. What have been your initial starting points or any key resources that helped you get going? Use any tools?

Final terms this week and then have 1 week off before next term. The techniques and ideas in calculus has been very helpful in my side projects. I’ve upgraded Fusion Circus’ depth, and I’ve started a robotics project called TrustFall which is a platform I’d like to share a piece of in the upcoming days.
I do not have a PhD in robotics but I am in school pursuing current fundamentals, and what I do have is a decade of real world solo diagnostics experience from automotive to advanced industrial heavy machinery systems. In the field, I realized that no one is bailing me out if a problem is too difficult. It’s forced under pressure diagnostics and hardware fabrication.

Hydraulics were originally all about multiplying force so its interesting that clone robotics views hydraulics as closer to how realistic humans move. I wonder what components they use to combat fluid fluctuations. Its gotta be some sort of high tech accumulator to ease those abruptions. A thousand hydraulic muscle fibers also means a thousand more moving components that can wear out or prove susceptible to damage. Imagine the leaks, but very interesting
Clone Robotics Co-Founder Dhanush Radhakrishnan says hydraulics is the only way to bring realistic synthetic humans into reality.
When Boston Dynamics introduced its fully electric Atlas in April 2024, it seemed like a death blow to hydraulics for humanoids. During the rise of industrial robots in the 1960s and 1970s, hydraulic systems became the dominant choice for powering factory automations.
Market demanded shifted toward electrical actuation systems in the 1980s and 90s. In the 2020s humanoid frenzy, Clone and the Canadian startup Sanctuary AI have been basically the alone in championing hydraulics.
In a fireside chat with futuristic Peter Diamandis, Radhakrishnan said human muscles combine force, speed, efficiency, and softness in a way that existing electric systems cannot replicate. He said Clone, which mostly operates out of Poland but is growing a presence in Silicon Valley, had to engineer an entirely new stack to power its Protoclone synthetic human prototype.
He said Clone is dealing with a different set of problems compared to other humanoid robotics firms. But when they're solved, it'll make truly lifelike androids like in the movies a reality.
Clone Robotics has about 70 employees and is working toward a full bipedal synthetic human. The co-founder said they're aiming to achieve that by 2027 and to open up sales to the public in 2028.
He said the humanoid can be manufactured today for about $20,000.
