I miss the days when video games were used to showcase technical advances.
"Kates built the game to showcase his additron tube, a miniature version of the vacuum tube, though the transistor overtook it in computer development shortly thereafter."
this adds a tool to “grade” robot demo episodes by analyzing blur, collisions, and movement smoothness, then filters the bad ones out of the dataset. Seems like a pragmatic way to tackle the data quality problem in robotics would be great to see how much it moves the needle in real training runs.
