No? It says “pilots the controller” which is fairly vague of the cause and effects going on. I think a real human would clarify the controller motors being used to physically move the controller.
Getting to a cheap household helper robot requires building the expensive one. I don’t think Boston dynamics believes any reasonable consumer would buy their atlas robot, but by building it and scaling its production in industrial use cases they will learn things that make building a cheaper one much easier. And they will have built some factories to mass produce them. It’s not something that will be in everyone’s home next year, but sooner or later the robot hardware and robot intelligence will both be cheap enough to be accessible by average people (at least in the developed world)
I’m a big fan of this notion. My hot water dispenser has a magnetic power dongle kinda like macbooks MagSafe, but bulkier [0]. Ideally something like that would be more standardized across appliances the way some of the other three prong power cords are.
Yeah trainium and inferentia. They’re just not nearly as well supported on the software level. Google has already made sure this new generation will be supported by vllm, sglang, etc. Amazons chips barely support those and only multiple versions back. Super under invested in (at least on the open source side)
Yeah, I’ve been beta testing the Streamyfin tvOS app. it’s now about on par with the official tvOS client, but feels like it’s making more progress regularly
I wanna do this but with a locally running LLM. They’re getting better and better. Can’t wait for something like Taalas to ship custom LLM hardware for personal use
Yeah I think there’s plenty of room for more bolted arm robots, it’s just similar to the humanoids they need better AI. There’s also room for more optimisation on the entire system design around more specialized robots. I think some industries work really well for that kind of revamp, and have already begun doing so. Others are waiting for the cost curve to fall for it to be worth the investment
I’d definitely feel much better if most cameras in the world were replaced by LIDAR. I feel like it would be much tougher to have a flawless facial recognition program with LIDAR alone
