Or anywhere else. Just a wishful thinking because it would liberate so many families, save careers, less cars on the road hopefully better for our environments, etc...

@waymo.bsky.social Waymo’s biggest missed opportunity is not being the official chauffeur for everyone under 16. Safe, tracked, and never gets tired of "Golden" on repeat. Let’s make it happen. Waymo Junior.

opendoor, opentable, openai, what else are we going to open?

If you're are an HCI student navigating the industry job market, here’s my unsolicited take on why you should stop defending 'human-centeredness'. I’m rarely right. Read at your own risk: minsukchang.com/blog/2026-01...

This site became too political and not enough research convo. The other site is also very political but it has waaaaay more research convo.

Open Source projects Join the conversation

People wanted our Open Source Organizations starter pack to include many projects, so we decided to give them their own starter pack.

Recently went to Goodwill for a ceramic planter. Left with Michelle Obama's autobiography for $2 instead (there were three of them???) Still looking for the planter...

Hey hey. We just have a very aggressive regularization parameter to prevent overfitting to any single roster. We prioritize generalization, as we all should!

We're optimizing the same reward function, but your learning rate is way higher 👏

All this just to remind the timeline that Eintracht Frankfurt is the greatest football club on earth. I will die on this hill. 🦅✌️ #SGE

In the month of December, Seattle (where I live now) gets 52.9 hrs of sunlight on average, London (where my employer is) gets 52 hrs, Frankfurt (where I grew up) gets 41. Seoul gets 152.6 hrs, more than all three put together.

Okay people. I've achieved Nobel Trajectory on this Tenure-track game (tenuretrack.vercel.app/game2d.html) Kangwook (kangwooklee.com) made. This is going into my faculty application if I ever apply.

Gentle reminder for the RL folks out there:

RLC 2026 → Montreal 🇨🇦 (Aug 16–19)

Abstract: Mar 1 | Submission: Mar 5 (AOE) | rl-conference.cc/callforpaper...

Looking forward to receiving your submission!

List of crowdsourced math projects actively seeking participants I believe that with the advent of modern online collaboration platforms (such as Github), proof assistant languages (such as Lean), and (potentially) AI tools, there are many emerging opportunities...

I started a crowdsourced meta-project to list all the other crowdsourced mathematical research projects that are currently active and seeking participants: mathoverflow.net/questions/50...

Trying this place again.

My colleague Sanjay Ghemawat & I have done a fair bit of performance tuning of various pieces of code. We wrote an internal Performance Hints document ~2 years ago as a way of identifying some general principles & we've recently published a version of it externally.

A VLA that Learns from Experience A method for training our generalist policies with RL to improve success rate and throughput on real-world tasks.

Physical Intelligence has a recipe for real world RL on top of VLAs and it looks impressive: www.pi.website/blog/pistar06

clarification: I won't be able to reply to all your emails (thanks for sending those!). But I will try my best in making sure your application is seen by our recruiters.
re: non-us based candidates - tbh I don't know, but I assume yes.

Reevaluating Policy Gradient Methods for Imperfect-Information Games In the past decade, motivated by the putative failure of naive self-play deep reinforcement learning (DRL) in adversarial imperfect-information games, researchers have developed numerous DRL algorithm...

Our NeurIPS submission arxiv.org/abs/2502.08938 did not get in, but it's one of my favorite papers and I think one of the better papers we've ever put out so I want to highlight it

Do you have a PhD (or equivalent) or will have one in the coming months (i.e. 2-3 months away from graduating)? Do you want to help build open-ended agents that help humans do humans things better, rather than replace them? We're hiring 1-2 Research Scientists! Check the 🧵👇
