"a group approach to reviewing would be helpful to any academic field as long as 1) groups consist of folks from different labs 2) each reader can still write their own review but uses the group for discussion / understanding / finding related prior work"

"This is an extremely beautiful plot because it sheds light on why scaling laws are so smooth and reconciles empirical findings from both scaling laws and grokking. Even though mean loss across all tasks (red line) decreases smoothly we see that individual subtask losses drop in a much more phase transition / grokking-like way. Easier subtasks are learned first harder subtasks learn much later. This is also consistent with many LLM evals where you see a sharp inflection as you scale rather than smooth linear improvement. It also suggests why robotics models have not yet seen sufficiently"

"if we do release discrete AND continuous embeddings on the same data my concern is that competing on LPIPS on final sampled images ends up being biased towards either discrete or continuous methods anyway because one of the encoders/decoders might have better inductive biases. I'm leaning more towards a reductive view that committing to one (arbitrarily) is simpler and gets at the core of what we want (how to train transformers on robotics data efficiently).

"I loved the part where Optimus (teleoperated) clenches its hands in effort as it struggles to come up with words. Speaking synced with gestures evokes a sense of life. I don't share the gripe that critics have about teleoperated demos. Proving that you can teleoperate co-speech gesture generation shows you the upper bound on what is possible and this is a task that neural nets can probably do. Also I have a lot of respect that TSLA is pivoting to a robotics company (taxis humanoids etc). Lots of people laugh at the move right now but it takes guts to do this. What other car company"
