hilarious to watch how Opus 5.5 designs a 3d asset, prints it, and controls a robo arm to take it out of the printer

🇵🇱 Poland has been getting a lot of positive attention on X lately, from big voices like @levelsio, which is great As an immigrant who has lived in Warsaw for the last 10 years, I want to give a more complete take First of all, most of the positive things people say are true. Warsaw is a modern, safe city with genuinely great value for the price. It’s also probably the cleanest European capital I’ve been to But there’s more to it The immigration situation is hard. People hear about the positive sides, but after studying and working here continuously for 10 years, I’m still waiting for my EU long-term residence card, which is one level below citizenship (and citizenship takes another 3 years once you get the card!!) While living here I’ve had to get 5 temporary residence cards, with a wait of 0.5 to 2 years for each. At this point I joke that I’m collecting them like Pokemon cards. It’s not uncommon for people to be stuck in the country for a year, because their previous card has expired and they can’t travel until the new one arrives Sometimes the immigration office asks for extra documents, which extends the wait by another half a year. (Often it’s because they lost some of the docs you already submitted, so you just bring the same thing again. For real) This story is consistent across my friends, it’s not unique to me. Some of them even got rejected without a clear explanation, despite being highly paid skilled workers, and some ended up relocating FROM Poland because of it A lot of people who consider building a life here underestimate how hard it is to integrate on the legal level Another important point is the weather. To be clear, this isn’t unique to Warsaw or Poland, but it’s worth keeping in mind Winters are harsh, but not in the snowy fairy-tale sense. There’s almost no snow, it’s rainy, the temperature hovers around 0°C, and there’s very little sunlight (~3x fewer sunny days than SF). My solution was simply escaping to other countries for the winter, but that’s not for everyone The warmer half of the year is beautiful though: very green, not too hot, a proper autumn, and there is a gorgeous wild bank of the Vistula right in the middle of the city To end on a good note, I genuinely think the place gets better every year: more lively, more infrastructure, more things to do. You don’t experience this kind of continuous growth in many places. I hope the immigration system improves before it’s too late

Astra-like models can one-shot the shape sorting task here because of their superior spatio-semantic scene understanding it's hard to compress trillions of parameters of knowledge by three orders of magnitude and maintain this level of understanding

most of the movies i watch are mid 20 century classics, some people find them boring ("oh no it's black and white!!!") but i honestly find them more unique nowadays also, history is the best filter

crazy that you can actually try this right now

Sol 6.1 is the best ROI for agentic robotics as of today Sonnet 5.5 shows emerging capabilities, but it's significantly more expensive due to higher token consumption

heard this is core material for anyone serious about modern frontier research, let’s see

i’m in Warsaw for a couple of weeks hit me up if you want to meet, especially if you’re into robotics! (i actually lived here for like 10 years before, and i’m originally from Ukraine)
