> Isn't this highly manipulative? Let's rephrase that. If you want people to give a f... about you, you need to actually give a f... about them and in a way that comes across. Here's how. Still manipulative?

I really like the idea of using two series elastic actuators in parallel on the same joint. This way motors acting in opposite direction can pre-tension the springs making the leg stiffer or softer. And if a lot of strength is needed they c

In Poland online banks to that. You can verify your identity for government purposes with the use of your online bank. No need for government to set up a scheme to confirm millions of people in person.

Giving them access to your account or credit card is a bit wild. That's what prepaid cards are for. You charge it with exact amount of money you need to pay for what you want and leave it empty after you pay. You can later watch for bo

Open weights is not exactly right either because we do get source of the software that uses those open weights. Maybe open inference? But we often also get source code for fine tunning the model. So maybe it's closer to open source tha
