My latest for @latimes: I travelled to southern India to document the rise of the AI "arm farms" — where young engineers strap GoPros to their foreheads and fold laundry or pack boxes to teach humanoid robots how to do chores. latimes.com/business/story/2…

I still remember the first time I saw a 3D printer at work. It felt like magic — objects appearing layer by layer, as if from thin air. But also limited. Flat, rigid, constrained. Now? The game has changed. 🤖 6-axis robotics × 500°C extrusion × multi-angle precision. No longer just printing layers — but printing in curves, angles, and forms nature itself would approve of. 💡 Here’s what most people don’t realize: this isn’t about size or speed. It’s about geometry. Printing along force lines instead of grids. Eliminating wasteful supports. Creating parts stronger, lighter, and closer to the way bones or shells are formed. That shift is massive. It means lighter aircraft parts. Smarter prosthetics. Custom furniture. Even buildings grown instead of built. Props to Massive Dimension × ABB Robotics for pushing the frontier. And to Florian Palatini for sparking the thought 👏 👉 Question for you: if factories can now print like nature grows, which industry gets disrupted first? #3DPrinting #Innovation #FutureOfManufacturing #Robotics

RIP to Bill Atkinson, one of the greatest programmers who ever lived. At Apple he created MacPaint, QuickDraw, HyperCard and was a critical part of making the Macintosh magic. He co-founded General Magic - go watch that documentary.

Ironic that we got free AI from a hedge fund and $200/month AI from a nonprofit.

This is such a cool interactive website to learn how LLMs work. It’s combines step-by-step text explanations with dynamic 3D visualizations for an immersive learning experience. Available to everyone for free!

Guy figures out how to send memes to friends after the apocalypse using SSTV format Transmission is carried out in the amateur radio range at a frequency of 145.800 MHz. All you need is a radio and a phone that can decode the signal.

Meta doesn't just open source their LLMs and server architecture, their people even open source CNC machining workflows. Huge W (links below)

This Halloween take a moment to remember the time Scott Kelly smuggled a gorilla suit to the ISS to scare the shit out of his fellow astronauts.
