news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-29 15:45:25

Let’s start at the very beginning (A very good place to start) I wanted to get into programming or something programming-adjacent, perhaps using my enjoyment of teaching and helping people create things. I had a few ideas for apps, so I thought I’d begin my journey working toward making an app that would be useful to my interests. My exploration of programming would be in the off hours of my 40hr/week job. The closest thing to programming experience I have is reading half a chapter of Learning

New AI Can Control a Robot If Its Legs Get Chainsawed Off

futurism.com Victor Tangermann 2025-10-01 17:26:39

Robots are being put through all kinds of abuse these days. They’re being kicked, punched, shoved, and even dragged by a chain around their neck — all in an apparent effort to teach them how to adapt to the oh-so-cruel physical world around them. In the latest instance of a robot being brutalized, a video making its rounds on social media shows an engineer from a startup called Skild AI taking a chainsaw to the limbs of a robot dog. “We built a robot brain that nothing can stop,” the company

Video models are zero-shot learners and reasoners

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-01 14:13:34

Abstract The remarkable zero-shot capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) have propelled natural language processing from task-specific models to unified, generalist foundation models. This transformation emerged from simple primitives: large, generative models trained on web-scale data. Curiously, the same primitives apply to today's generative video models. Could video models be on a trajectory towards general-purpose vision understanding, much like LLMs developed general-purpose languag

Vicious California Squirrel Sends at Least 2 People to the ER

A “very mean squirrel” is terrorizing local residents of San Rafael, a city north of San Francisco. So far, this squirrel has attacked more than five people, two of whom had to receive emergency medical care, according to a flyer describing the incident. Experts say that the behavior is likely due to humans feeding the squirrel when it was younger. Not rabid, but still terrifying Fortunately, squirrels rarely carry rabies, which was probably true for this particular squirrel. Regardless, the

Food supply chains are notoriously messy. Orders arrive through different channels, staff spend hours manually entering them into clunky enterprise software systems, and compliance often depends on spreadsheets. For decades, software vendors have tried, with mixed success, to modernize the workflows behind the global movement of perishable goods.

Karl Brandan Mollweide (1774-1825) designed an equal-area map projection, mapping the surface of the earth to an ellipse with an aspect ratio of 2:1. If you were looking at the earth from a distance, the face you’re looking at would correspond to a circle in the middle of the Mollweide map. The part of the earth that you can’t see is mapped to the rest of the ellipse. The lines of latitude are not quite evenly spaced; some distortion is required to achieve equal area.
