I was doing this demo. In the beginning, I just prompted to connect to the robot and it figured out how to connect through ssh, and when I asked to move it's neck, it just went through the codebase and understood how to command each joint.

ICON announced our $200M+ Series D today. I thought it was worth sharing again why we do what we do.

Don't say, "The most corrupt administration in American history." There is no comparison between Trump, on the one hand, and eg Grant, Harding, or Nixon on the other. Nixon's worst day in office was 100x better than Trump's best day. The relevant comparisons are to non-American presidents in authoritarian societies with unfree media. Trump's scale of stealing and bribe-taking has never been remotely paralleled in any democratic country ever before.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

“It’s important that we lean in, think about a national robotics strategy and support this burgeoning industry in the U.S. so that we can remain competitive.”
Apptronik co-founder and CEO Jeff Cardenas spoke with @politico earlier this week and was on @CBSNews yesterday discussing the importance of a national robotics strategy that puts America ahead in the A.I. race.

president trump gradually normalizing use of the national guard in liberal cities.
had he done this in his first term, people would be outraged and take to the streets. now not so much.
paves the way for using the national guard at a more strategically important time. say, during elections.

U.S. global health and development aid is estimated to have saved 92 million lives over the past 20 years. We can't afford to let that kind of progress unravel: b-gat.es/4kjSUCG

So for those of you keeping track:
• Trump says he will end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours. Putin tells him to pound sand. War is now worse than ever.
• Trump says he’ll solve the Gaza war. That war is now worse than ever.
• Trump tells Bibi not to strike Iran to give him space to negotiate. Bibi strikes Iran two days before talks.
Does it seem like world leaders respect Trump?

We really did it.
We took a growing US manufacturing economy, declared it broken, started a trade war, and ... broke US manufacturing.
In last 48 hours:
- Philly Fed Survey: "New orders fell sharply, from 8.7 in March to -34.2, its lowest reading since April 2020"
- NY Fed Survey: Expected orders and shipments plunging
Again, this is a policy to revive US manufacturing.
