Absolute dumpster fire of a day. I've tried to do too many things, none of them exciting, I didn't do a good job at any one of them, and I'm too tired to form a coherent sentence.

Sometimes you just need to take the L and try again another day.

Pinocchio 3.8.0 was just released!

I'm excited about this release because my feature (Viser visualizer) is included, plus there are a lot of fixes (especially to mimic joints) that came from issues I ran into myself. Open source is great.

Planning and control of high-DOF robots is a super interesting technical challenge.

Making robots perform skills without hand-engineering point solutions is a super interesting research problem.

Are these the most practical solutions to every societal problem? [citation needed]

Such a weird positive feedback loop of people needing to signal themselves as pro-general purpose humanoid hype as possible, so their peers perceive their work as still relevant.

Let's remember we're here to solve problems and/or uncover new understanding.

Does anyone know any experts in VR with an interest in immersive video streaming for teleop applications? If so, shoot me a note. Thanks!

If I ever start using my free time to make thinkpieces instead of educating people, you may take me out back and put us all out of our misery.

I'm back!

Sorry, I had gone on a nuclear social media cleanse but then realized it's actually good to stay connected to people. Just need to do a better job curating.
