wrapping a robotic hand in skin, where have I seen this before Co: Warmcore Tech
Cline got rid of the terminal and replaced it with Kanban. This is sooo much better - worth trying. (80% sure this will be copied by every other co)
Inspired by the man who built a personalized cancer vaccine for his dog, I’ve written an open-source guide to DIY mRNA vaccine production: philfung.github.io/openvaxx Drawing on my background in running lab startups, the guide covers the entire process - from sequencing...
Loving the Booster K1 robot 🤖 It moves + balances very well and is super rugged (it’s survived the bushes already). Also has a fully open API to train and upload your own policies - all at << 1/4 cost...

for robotics researchers: there's many fantastic reward functions out there (TOPReward, Robometer, GVL, etc), so I made a lil website so you easily evaluate them on your own videos. Try: https://philfung.github.io/rewardscope/
Super awesome - instead of learning in sim, the robot *learns in real life*, moving objects like a toddler for 26+ hours. I feel for the poor Cal grad student who had to babysit this 😔 https://tether-research.github.io
