This $30M startup built a dog crate-sized robot factory that learns by watching humans

techcrunch.com Rebecca Szkutak 2025-09-23 10:00:00

While many robotics companies are building human-sized robots, or working to automate entire factories, MicroFactory is instead trying to think big by building small. San Francisco-based MicroFactory built a general-purpose, tabletop manufacturing kit that’s about the size of my Siberian Husky’s dog crate. This compact factory includes two robotic arms and can be trained by human demonstration, as well as through AI. “General purpose robots are good, but it’s not necessary [to] be humanoid,” s

Why haven't quantum computers factored 21 yet?

news.ycombinator.com Craig Gidney 2025-10-18 15:14:26

In 2001, quantum computers factored the number 15. It’s now 2025, and quantum computers haven’t yet factored the number 21. It’s sometimes claimed this is proof there’s been no progress in quantum computers. But there’s actually a much more surprising reason 21 hasn’t been factored yet, which jumps out at you when contrasting the operations used to factor 15 and to factor 21. The circuit (the series of quantum logic gates) that was run to factor 15 can be seen in Figure 1b of “Experimental real
