Just look at these systems from CPS... they show what hyper-optimized automation actually looks like. Product arrives flat, a racetrack mechanism flips it upright, rows get grouped, and a bomb-door system drops the whole batch into the case. Fast, reliable, and dead simple. I don't see any serious humanoid...

Caitlin Clark on how she gets covered by the media: "I think there's just like a false characterization of who I am sometimes. And I get it like as a reporter or as a blogger, like you can write an opinion piece and that's your job and whatever. But at the same time, like you don't know me. Like we've never had a conversation. I get people have a job to do. But at the same time, like don't make accusations about my character and who I am when you don't know me. I understand this is your job and this is your profession, and this is what you get to do. And basketball is my profession, what I get to do. And the reason I play it is when I step in between the lines, I love it. And that's what's so fun about it for me is like, I get to compete. This was always my dream. And nobody should ever try to take that away from me"

Last night, China Central Television (CCTV) aired its 2026 Chinese New Year Gala celebrating the Year of the Horse. The show featured a wide range of performances, including Unitree Robotics humanoid robots performing martial arts in sync with human dancers. Just a year ago, Unitree’s robots appeared at the same gala, but their movements looked stiff and mechanical. This year, they were noticeably more fluid and coordinated — a remarkable improvement, even if they’re still likely operating under some level of remote supervision. When it comes to humanoid robotics, most of the visible momentum today seems to be coming from the U.S. and China. Companies like Tesla (with Optimus) and Boston Dynamics in the U.S., alongside rapidly advancing Chinese firms, dominate the headlines. So what happened to Europe and Japan? Japan was once seen as the global leader, especially with Honda’s ASIMO and SoftBank Robotics’ humanoid projects. However, ASIMO was retired, and much of Japan’s robotics focus shifted toward industrial automation and service robots rather than full-scale general-purpose humanoids. Europe, meanwhile, remains strong in industrial robotics, research, and precision engineering — with players like ABB and KUKA — but hasn’t pushed aggressively into commercial humanoid platforms at the same scale or speed as the U.S. and China. In short, it’s less that Europe and Japan disappeared, and more that the center of gravity in humanoid robotics — especially AI-driven, general-purpose humanoids — has shifted toward U.S.–China competition. Whether that gap widens or narrows will depend on breakthroughs in embodied AI, cost reduction, and real-world deployment over the next few years.

Russian troops were completely overwhelmed and scared to death. It’s a seminal point in history that a robotic force actually displaced a human force on the battlefield - Hal Kempfer, former US Marine & national security expert. “There was actually pictures that were out there that showed Russians surrendering to these robots that you're looking at here that's pretty significant. And for Ukraine, it's very significant because there's a lot more Russian troops than there are Ukrainian troops. And so if they can develop technology like this to go in and do this, it could change the nature of warfare. So the Ukrainians are talking about this pretty strongly. I will tell you that a lot of us who follow military innovation, you know, battlefield innovation across the board are looking at this as kind of a seminal point in history that a robotic force actually displaced a human force, if you will, on the battlefield. Not the first time that drones and robots have been used, but it was the first time we ever saw something quite like this. Kinda like the first big tank attack that took place in World War I. This one it's a historic footnote that this took place. And it looks like the Ukrainians are gonna go full bore and try and reinforce this methodology across the board. And the Russians haven't really come up with a good, you know, countermeasure or countermeasures to stop this from happening. In fact, what it looked like was the Russian troops were completely overwhelmed and scared to death”

Exaggerating going up in the backswing. You might hear it referred to as “unweighting” It allows “crash” into the ground harder in transition. This crash, quickly spikes force under the lead foot We can use this to speed up our body rotation, and get more energy to the club Also exaggerating a some more wrist cock in transition, I tend to release my wrist angles very early It can be really interesting how easy you can hit certain speeds without really trying sometimes 125 is pretty good for me, and I didn’t really “try” to hit it hard until the late downswing I was going a bit slower than usual in the backswing and transition to try and incorporate the technique moves I am working on Are you planning to work on speed this off season? Are you working on it currently? What are you doing, and how is it going? Fingers crossed for 130+ tomorrow for me.

I'm with EchoMav at the farm to get a hands-on look at the Monarch, a 3D-printed combat drone built to be printed in country, repaired fast, and deployed at scale. EchoMav walks through the engineering, the swappable radios and cameras, the payload options, and what makes this platform different from the expensive, hard-to-fix drones already in the field. I also became a test target... Trying to escape and evade Ukrainian drone pilots. Warfare is a whole new game. This is what it looks like up close. For more reviews, head over to the Vigilance Elite Patreon at the link below.

Gilbert Arenas says the All-Star teams are embarrassing “We know who the best players in the NBA are. We know when you tune into a game, the player you’re going to see like I’m tuning in to this game to see this matchup, right? This is who sells the tickets. When you get your ticket stub, right? Think about it now. When you get your ticket stub and then have two people on it, one from one team, another from how many people’s on this list that don’t need to be on that ticket is what I’m trying to say. Some of these names when they come to town is the games you get for free. Like they throw it in the package. It’s like I’m going to see Kendrick Lamar and the Blazers. You have to take that Blazers game to get this” (Via Gilbert Arenas)

This looks like a toy. It's actually the meanest little vision eval I've built. The task: look at an emoji image, then repaint it on a 16×16 grid, one pixel at a time. Just the model, a tiny canvas, and up to 2000 brushstrokes. What I didn't expect was the personalities. > some models REGRET a stroke and go back to repaint it > some get stuck looping the same little patch over and over, like they're trying to animate it > some are calm little surgeons and just nail it first try And the task is genuinely mean: it has to see the image, crush it down to 256 cells, then decide what's actually load-bearing: > the tears on 😂 but still keep the smile > the horn on 🦄 > the antenna on 🤖 and keep the soul of it with almost no resolution to spare. 5 models. 7 emojis. Best of 5 runs each. Side by side. Who's your winner?

.travis kalanick on why specialized robots beat humanoids for real work: "I'm not anti-humanoid, I'm non-humanoid. There are tasks that are good for humanoids, low scale, high diversity, in human environments, humanoid all the way. But the minute you have a machine doing a high-scale task, we're no longer in humanoid land, we're in specialized robotics land." "There was a moment nine months ago where humanoids were the mega rage of all time. When your hairdresser says he's getting into the humanoid business, we know something's wrong." "If I had to make 1,000 pancakes an hour, I'd never have a humanoid do it, you'd need 100 humanoids going gg-gg-gg. It's like the humanoid Olympics in Beijing, they're doing the marathon and it's cool, but all I could think is, imagine if you put wheels on them. Would you ever put a humanoid in a car to drive it?" "High scale, repetitive tasks do not need to be in human form, and they won't be, because humans are meant to do lots of things at low scale."

This guy in the back coming down the ramp into the parking garage honks his horn at the car in front of him. The car in front of him is waiting for two cars in front of himself to get into the parking garage. The guy at the front of the line is having issues with the parking ticket machine. First this guy in the back honks, then he gets out of his car and stares like that is going to change something. Then he walks over and tells the second car to move up and then he starts to walk over to the guy at the ticket machine like he’s going to hurry him along too, like he’s actually doing something to move the line along. What is he achieving? Be patient. Many people said they would take extra time now just to be slow on purpose. What is the hurry? Would you ever pull in and honk right away and then get out of your car to try and move people up a few feet and then try to hurry the line up?

Robby Soave and Jessica Burbank discussed on The Hill's Rising how "insane" it is Robert Kennedy Jr. was removed from New York's state ballot. Soave: "This is a blow to our democracy to have this judge try to prevent you, the people... from voting for this candidate at a time when we're told democracy's at stake and that the Democrats are the ones that are going to rescue democracy from Trump." Burbank: "I move around all the time. My home is technically in North Carolina, but I've been in D.C. doing this show for the past, like, month, and flying to Iowa on the weekends. This is how the world is when people can travel freely. I think it's silly... they're just trying to get him off the ballot on a technicality. It's very obvious." Soave: "It's not like the people who signed the petition to have him on the ballot feel duped... Come on, it's ridiculous. It's patently ridiculous... I find this decision very, very troubling. Very anti-democratic." Burbank: "If you want the Democrat to win, whoever it is, persuade the voters. Spend that money on advertisements, knocking doors, convincing them. But this is why the people don't like the two-party system, because they use their power as a party machine, and all of their donors... They can gain the system like this. This is precisely why people want to vote for independent candidates. It's goonish behavior like this."

Are we being lied to about the meaning of life? That’s the question at the heart of this debate. So I brought together three different perspectives. A believer, an atheist, and a spiritual thinker, to try to get closer to an answer. Many of you will know Dr K, but for the first time we’re joined by Greg Koukl and Alex O’Connor. Dr K is a psychiatrist who works directly with people at their lowest, and he’s learned how to turn those struggles into lessons we can all use. Greg is a Christian thinker who says meaning is real, not invented, and that purpose flows from our creator. Alex is a philosopher who looks at life's toughest questions, from death to whether life has any real meaning at all. We started with the uncomfortable numbers about how many young people say life feels like it lacks purpose, and the shifts we’re seeing in faith and belonging. It’s clear something is happening in the way we all think about life.

Aubrey Plaza compares the grief of losing her husband to a horror movie. Amy Poehler: You lost your husband. Aubrey Plaza: Yeah. Amy Poehler: You’ve been dealing with that, and you’ve been looking for all different ways in which to feel and find support. And I think I would, on behalf of all the people who feel like they know you and the people who do know you, ask: how are you feeling today? Aubrey Plaza: Um, I’m… I mean, right in this very, very present moment, I feel happy to be with you. Amy Poehler: Mhm. Aubrey Plaza: Um, I feel… overall, I’m here, and I’m functioning, and I feel, you know, like I feel really grateful to be moving through the world. Amy Poehler: Mhm. Aubrey Plaza: I think, like, I’m okay, but, you know, it’s like a daily struggle, obviously. This is like a really dumb analogy, but… and it was kind of a joke at some point, but like, I actually mean it. Did you see that movie, The Gorge? Amy Poehler: No. Aubrey Plaza: Okay. Amy Poehler: Horror movie? Aubrey Plaza: It’s like a sci-fi alien movie or something. Amy Poehler: Okay, okay, okay. Aubrey Plaza: With, like, Miles… Amy Poehler: Teller? Aubrey Plaza: Teller. And, um… but it’s like, in the movie, there’s like a cliff on one side, and then there’s like a cliff on the other side, and then there’s this, like, gorge in between, and it’s like filled with all these, like, monster people that are trying to get them. And, like, I swear when I watched it, I was like, “That feels like what my grief is like,” or what grief could be like, where it’s like, at all times, there’s like a giant ocean of just awfulness that’s, like, right there, and I can, like, see it. Amy Poehler: Mhm. Aubrey Plaza: And, like, sometimes I just want to, like, dive into it and just be in it. And then sometimes I just look at it. And then sometimes I try to get away from it… Amy Poehler: Mhm. Aubrey Plaza: …but it’s always there. It’s just always there, and the monster people are trying to get me, like Miles Teller. Amy Poehler: Yeah. And… and, uh, Anya… Aubrey Plaza: And Anya Taylor-Joy. Amy Poehler: Yeah.

Farewell to International Space Station! This is truly a special place, special mission, and special team that makes it happen. It is a bittersweet departure today – I have a keen awareness that I may never be back here, and even if I was, it would be at a different time with a different crew. This chapter is over. Spaceflight has always been a life goal, and it has turned into a life-fulfilling endeavor – but not for the reasons I thought growing up. When I was young, I pictured the launch, the incredible ball of fire and the acceleration, the spacewalks (how could you not wonder what it’s like to be in that suit?), and I was fascinated by the shuttles, capsules, and stations. But as I complete this second mission living and working in space, what draws me to this job is the people. Experiences like this are amazing, but the relationships we build that make it possible are the “why.” Every day, this mission depends on people from all over the world, of different nationalities, races, religions, and cultures. It depends on government and commercial entities, it depends on all political parties, and it depends on commitment to an unchanged goal over many years and decades. It depends on people dedicated to being part of something bigger than themselves, whose names may never be known but who wake up every day to make the world a better place and to be part of something they will be proud to tell their grandkids about. History will look kindly upon them. Humans have always had a propensity to explore … across lands and oceans, up mountains, and into the sky. We as a species will never stop wondering what else is out there, and what it would be like to go. But then, in the words of TS Elliot, “…at the end of all our exploring, will be to arrive where we started, and know the place for the first time.” Crew-10 is on its way home.

Farewell to International Space Station! This is truly a special place, special mission, and special team that makes it happen. It is a bittersweet departure today – I have a keen awareness that I may never be back here, and even if I was, it would be at a different time with a different crew. This chapter is over. Spaceflight has always been a life goal, and it has turned into a life-fulfilling endeavor – but not for the reasons I thought growing up. When I was young, I pictured the launch, the incredible ball of fire and the acceleration, the spacewalks (how could you not wonder what it’s like to be in that suit?), and I was fascinated by the shuttles, capsules, and stations. But as I complete this second mission living and working in space, what draws me to this job is the people.

Another headless wheeled humanoid Shenzhen VLAI Robotics just released a pretty pragmatic humanoid robot called L1. I checked the price, starting at RMB 28,800($4,188). wheeled base + height-adjustable dual arms.Anyone can be built into a household assistant:fetching water, tidying up the kitchen and living room, doing laundry, and more. >Dual arms with 16 DOF, bionic-style structure, capable of relatively fine tasks like grasping and plug-in operations >Adjustable arm height (~70–160 cm), covering both tabletop and standing work >Differential-drive wheeled base, 100 kg payload, simple but well-suited for indoor use, supports working while moving >Open interfaces + teleoperation/data collection. L1 feels more like a development platform than a finished product Beyond household humanoids, developers can build specialized humanoid robots tailored to a wide range of scenarios,from scientific research and manufacturing to warehousing, retail, and caregiving... We’re already seeing quite a few robots in this form factor. While some are pushing toward full humanoids, this “less-human” approach might actually reach real-world deployment sooner. --- (Shenzhen truly is a home for humanoid robots,it seems as though a new humanoid robot company could spring into existence at any moment.）

Just when you thought claw machines couldn’t be more of a scam. Try operating it from your phone. But there's something here that I really like. I can't quite articulate what it is yet. It feels like the future. It's a claw machine, but not just any claw machine. These are connected to the internet and people can play them from anywhere in the world, from their phones. They're controlling a real physical machine in real time, trying to win real physical prizes. And if they win, the prize either gets mailed to them or converted into a digital form and emailed to them instantly. You will not believe how many plays this thing got in one night. People are obsessed with this because it takes the satisfaction of a claw machine, the nostalgia, the challenge, the thrill of winning something, and it makes it accessible from anywhere at any time. You don't have to be at an arcade. You don't have to be at a mall. You can be sitting on your couch at midnight and decide you want to try to win a toy or a gift card or whatever's loaded in the machine. And this is interesting because you only need to own one physical machine, but you can have thousands of people playing it all over the world. And if multiple people want to play at the same time, then you can charge extra. If you have a fixed supply and high demand, your price goes up. The prizes can be anything, toys, electronics, gift cards, merch, whatever. People can share with their friends. They play over and over. It becomes content. It becomes competition. People stream themselves trying to win. And my mind is exploding with possibilities because it's not just a vending machine business. It's an entertainment business, it's e-commerce, it's gamification, it's live streaming, all wrapped into one. And someone just figured out how to make it work with a claw machine. 10,000 plays. That's how many plays this guy got overnight on his virtual claw machine business. You could do this with anything.

I miss building simple, working software. At some point, we decided to complicate everything for no reason. Today, people can't build anything without using three frameworks, 17 libraries, and a swarm of microservices. And here is a funny paradox: To understand how these complex systems work, we've had to build systems and tools that generate data we can later analyze. But the more data we produce, the harder it is to process and make sense of it. We are in the middle of an observability crisis. The tools we have are inefficient, and we don't have enough people to keep systems running. A few weeks ago, I met the team Resolve AI, and they have built a fundamentally new approach to observability and incident management: Instead of depending on humans to run a system, Resolve built a Production Software Engineer who runs the system using AI while letting people supervise. And it's not only crazy, but I think this will fundamentally change how we monitor and maintain systems in production for years to come. I recorded a quick video to showcase a simple example of how Resolve works behind the scenes. There are two main things I'd like you to notice: 1. The tool can correlate data across logs, metrics, and traces coming from different systems. You don't have to do any work to get the information that matters right in front of you. 2. (This is the big one!) The tool can diagnose what's happening and give you instructions on how to solve it. It can produce causal relationships across the entire system stack. Resolve is backed by investors like Replit's founder Amjad Masad, Reid Hoffman, Jeff Dean, Fei Fei Li, Andy Price, among others. They are currently working with a select number of companies and want to onboard a few more. If you are interested in trying them out, go to this link: Honestly, this is one of the most impressive uses of AI I've seen.

I know a setup like this for many people would look cool and convenient but hear me out. I would only utilize something like this while parked in a camping area with other people. I would not use this by myself in the middle of the woods like this. I don’t feel they are safe and I’ll explain why. First off and most importantly, I don’t see a safe way to secure it. It’s all thin plastic sheeting meant to be waterproof but can be easily cut to gain access. If anyone wanted to cause harm or rob you, all they have to do is cut through the sheeting and they would have access to everything. It wouldn’t be hard to break into this. Then I look at how long it takes to setup, while it shows one person can set this up by themselves. Look at how long it takes to do this, it’s very impractical. I feel something like this that’s an add on to a vehicle should be much easier, like pushing a button and everything is pops out by itself. In an emergency I couldn’t imagine trying to fold things back in the right way while trying to escape. Could you imagine trying to outrun a bear in this only for it to be ripped off by tree branches cause you couldn’t fold it in time? The scenario I’m thinking of is what if I am being chased by a wild animal like a wolf or a bear. I couldn’t just hop in my Jeep and take off with this setup. Everything is folded out and tethered into the ground. It’s not like a traditional tent I could leave behind. If I was out camping with friends for a few days I think this could be ok. But doing a van life of camping for months at a time during the summer months wouldn’t be safe or practical as a solid unit like a standard RV. I wouldn’t be comfortable or safe in something like this.
