This is a "microcontroller core", not a "microcontroller". We're talking "deep embedded" applications - where an ASIC is designed for a very specific purpose, and that design just so happens to call for a

It's easy to say "just diet ez" and it's hard to "just diet". If you can administer a treatment as a simple one and done thing, that's alright. If it's a pill you got to take every day, that's pr

Agents are a very new concept. We've got the early LLM-based AI agents in 2023, and it only became a popular, mainstream thing in 2025 - with Claude Code.

The likes of AWS and Github have scoped API keys for that purpose. But good luck trying to convince a non-tech company to implement something like this.

Hobbyist drones also don't ship with lidar in stock. The concern isn't China dominating the area of $20 toys. The concern is platforms relevant to industry and military. Whether that, in turn, can be disentangled from "the ar

Both? People are very easy to FUD up about any local development, and they rarely bear any costs of denying those development. Being eager to uncritically lap up any FUD thrown your way is definitely a personal failing. Let alone spreading

If you give NIMBYs as much as an inch of decision-making power, they'll find a way of making you regret it. For all the talk of "negative externalities", they sure aren't shy about imposing them on others.

Yep. The "noise and pollution" of a datacenter are bordering on nonexistent. The same goes for water use concerns and more. The environmental concerns are extremely overblown - but NIMBYs really don't need much to get going.

In a typical AI lab eval/RL setting, there is no "person who sent you the link". The link was given to you by an automated system, your performance will be evaluated by an automated system, and you are one of 120 independent

Frankly, I doubt the existence of "orthogonal leaps" as a distinct category with distinct properties. Just another emergent capability - one that follows exactly the same patterns any other emergent capability does.

The whole point of neural interfaces is to bypass the default wiring. If what's there in the bone stock I/O plane was sufficient, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

No, you openly, plainly went and downgraded your claim to a somewhat defensible one. It's not subtle. Your entire premise was wrong at every point, and now you're trying to wriggle your way out of admitting it.

The backbone of the VLA there is literally a pre-trained Gemma model. And a small one at that. You already downgraded your claims from "LLMs are irrelevant to robotics" to a measly "you can't train a useful robotics LLM
