skilledon Figure 03, our 3rd generation humanoid robot

You wrote what I wanted to write but I couldn't find such words.

Indeed, all the videos/examples are marketing pieces.

I would love to see a video like this "Logistics"[0] one, that shows this new iteration doing some household tasks. There is no way that it's not clunky and prone to all kinds of accidents and failures. Not that it's a bad thing - it would simply be nice to see.

Maybe they will do another video? Would love that.

I also don't quite understand the full context of what happened - she stole an idea and then applied to YC again?

A lot of the tweets seem infused with a lot of emotion, including this one from Garry[0]:

> Let me say if you are coming after Peggy and verbally abusive and disrespectful, I am watching.

> It’s not OK and there will be consequences.

That's quite a harsh way to ask people to be respectful.

skilledon Foldable iPhone is coming in 2026 with top-down fold design

Sounds like a terrible idea. Was there ever any proof that Samsung's foldable phones took off better than expected? It's Apple, so quality is probably going to be OK, but personally... I am good with a regular phone. Foldable feels a bit gimmicky to me.

Also, two different sources for this story from what I can tell. Digitimes and The Information, but since both are hard paywalls, this can probably stay up.

skilledon Joe Biden stands down as Democratic candidate

It’s for the best. The man is not in his best form and he has repeatedly shown that he isn’t. He attempted to rectify the situation since the debate but even those attempts fell short.

Let’s see who is going to take the mantle now.

/edit: he is endorsing Kamala,

Ohh… didn’t realize that. Will email CISA to tell them to withdraw their monthly “switch to memory safe languages” bulletin.

Rust is amazing tho... it has no memory problems and it is 100% memory safe.. very secure.

skilledon Meta puts a halt to training its generative AI tools in Brazil

Not going to disagree with you. We can all make our own choices and I know what you mean.

Personally, I am happy EU and Brazil put brakes on this because Meta deserves to learn a lesson about forced consent. That is not an okay thing to do.

Instead of earning goodwill, and actually represent open source and the wider community - they simply assumed that consent is a given.

If they had forced everyone in an unavoidable consent form when visiting Facebook/Instagram, the results would be completely different.

They knew this.

skilledon Meta puts a halt to training its generative AI tools in Brazil

Nice. They pulled out of EU also. Scumbags who force you into consent and then make you beg to be taken out of it through hoops and loops deserve more severe punishment than just some media articles writing about it.

No single person will ever willingly consent to having their personal photos used to benefit a money grabbing company like Meta, or any company for that matter.

skilledon Ask HN: Every day feels like prison

What is missing in your life? Only you know the answer.

Where did you travel and what did you see? I was away in SEA for five years in my twenties and it changed me in very positive ways.

Ultimately, life and experiences are about people and interactions with them, so maybe something in there that you could optimize. Only thoughts tho, no concrete advice I can give.

I do think that figuring this out on your own is a fun little journey in of itself.

skilledon Show HN: Search >34k niche blogs and RSS feeds

Ugh, let me rephrase the question then, is this 34,000 blogs as in websites, or blogs as in posts? I assumed the former, but sounds like I might have been wrong since building a list of 34k niche websites would be next to impossible.

I am guessing you have added everything from here:
