$6,500 for OpenArm v2. Incredibly smooth movement, 4kg of load per arm. Its unclear how far the level of autonomous control has come so far. The video shows mostly tele-operated operation. I have to agree with other comments here that folding laundry is the killer app.

for those simply looking to try nostr for the first time, https://iris.to is a great way to get started.

it'd be nice to see a comparison to rayfish.xyz

even without trying it, its so cool this exists. I think this kind of voice interaction has been a dream of adventure game creators for so long, and now its possible. there was a game many years ago (in the days of messengers like trillium being popular), I forget the name, where one of the characters would make a landline phone call to you. The voice acting was great and it felt novel and exciting to see it work.

"How much of each payout was your own money handed back." very interesting premise but the site needs more explanation of what that means and how it computes those numbers.

great looking website - the alphabet portion is fantastic.

I published a project this week to be a thai to english dictionary. Translation is easy to come by but I want a page to paste a paragraph of thai and have it break down every word. That helps me learn. The site uses Wiktionary data. https://thaikam.app/

This was fun to play...for about 2 minutes before all the manual work of moving processes around got very tedious, which may be the point of the game. What I would like is a little code edit window where i could code simple routines to handle the scheduling, then be able to watch the result.

for those who aren't familitar with Meta's product line: "Meta Portal (also known as Portal) is a discontinued brand of smart displays and videophones released in 2018 by Meta." a tablet with feet, focused on video-calls.

I used to think Zig was the new C, but its different enough to be its own category, imho. For an actually "new" C, try https://c3-lang.org/.

for example, How much disk is needed? I started the uvx command and it started to download hundreds of megabytes. How much cpu ram is necessary and how much gpu ram is necessary? will an integrated intel gpu work? some ARM boards have a dedicated AI processor, are any of those supported?

it'd be nice to get some idea of what kind of hardware a laptop needs to be able to run this voice model.

I'm hoping they go with phoenix11 #seewhatididthere

it seems like all this infrastructure could be replaced by a DNS TXT record with a public key that browsers could use to check the cert sent from the web server. A web server would load a self-signed cert (or whatever cert they wanted), and put the cert's public key into a DNS record for that hostname. Every visit to a website would need two lookups, one for address and one for key. It puts control back into the hands of the domain owners and eliminates the need for letsencrypt.

The best part of this article for me is the link to these well made 3rd party docs for helix.

ATDT1170,

Really well written - it was a pleasure to read. Concepts were introduced in small, consumable chunks, without being too slow or overwhelming. I hope more articles are coming.

this looks very nice though it also is close to typst. a comparison would be interesting.

A detailed, hands-on, build a kernel module right away kind of tutorial. Bravo.

Sapling is the first AST editor that works how Ive imagined it could. I'd love to leave all the whitespace wrangling behind and move only between AST nodes in an efficient way. This was a fun editor to try and I think there is something to learn here still to make treesitter editors more powerful/efficient.

I'd like to see a comparison to nitro https://github.com/janhq/nitro which has been fantastic for running a local LLM.

its got 'for k in list {}' (https://nature-lang.org/docs/the-basics/control-flow#iterati...) though array.for_each(lambda) is a better way to go, imho.

The syntax choices are really nice here. It has a lot of what I would pick for a language. The one-liner test cases are awesome, <> for generics is comfortable since I use rust, sum types like elm are awesome. If I were to add something (well take it away really) its to use whitespace for array element separators. Eliminates the whole trailing comma issue and looks cleaner, though I admit it might create parsing ambiguities. 'try expr', returning (val,err) is curious and I think I like it better already than try {} catch {}.

for those looking for an open source way to sync photos, syncthing has an android app that works well. While it is 'always running' on my android phone, I love how as soon as I arrive home it connects to wifi and moves any new photos to my home linux box (which is also running syncthing).

I cant speak to 'correctness' but ureq has been great to work with. Simple and small. https://crates.io/crates/ureq

General Thomas Percell: How do we fix it?

Dr. Josh Keyes: We can't.

General Thomas Percell: Not in my vocabulary.

(possibly the greatest burn in movie history)

Dr. Josh Keyes: Then you might want to get one of those word-a-day calendars, General, because it's impossible. The core is the size of Mars. You're talking about jump-starting a planet. This is a superheated hyper-fluid of molten iron and nickel at 9,000 degrees Fahrenheit. And the deepest we've ever been is... 7 miles, with a two-inch drill bit.

General Thomas Percell: If we can go into space, we certainly...

Dr. Josh Keyes: Space is easy. It's empty. We're talking about millions of pounds of pressure per square inch. Even if we somehow came up with a brilliant plan to fix the core, we just can't get there.
