A lot has happened with the coin over the last few days. I started posting on a loopring specific sub a couple of days ago. I was calling out what appeared to me a significant move toward a negative funding rate on 7/14 but looking at the chart now that seems a blip compared to the level of negative funding rate as of today. We are also starting to see liquidations as well with short liquidations outnumbering long liquidations. We will see what happens into the future. Two questions that I wanted to dig into today: With the closing of Loopring's L2 DEX and the distribution back to L1 does that provide enough LRC tokens that this funding rate disconnect will wash out and go back to normal? Let's look at the data. From the token distribution file that the Loopring team posted on this X post (https://x.com/loopringorg/status/2072987477405835340), specifically phase-1/token-list for LRC, we see this value "user_balance_minus_dust": "44952786.682053". At the current approximate price as of the time of this posting ($0.01661) that represents ~$750,000 dollars worth of LRC The current open interest for LRC from the screenshot above is $8.53M which increased more than 600% in the last 24 hours. Even if every single holder that held LRC on layer 2 immediately sold right now the perpetual market has increased exposure at least 6-7x that in the last 24 hours. How much is it currently costing net short perpetual futures parties per day to continue to maintain their short position Just looking at OKX at the time of writing this up OI was $2.01M and the funding rate was -0.4832% which gives a value of $9,712.32 that needs to be paid per period which on OKX there are 3 periods per day So for one platform this is ~$30,000 a day that needs to be paid to longs just to maintain the current level of short. Are there coins that you hold where it seems like the perpetual futures market dwarfs the spot market? submitted by /u/epistmeme [link] [Kommentare]

I need some cash for recent family expenses and an upcoming move, and I'd rather not put everything on a credit card. The timing just feels awful because I wasn't planning to sell anything right now. Most of my BTC and ETH are part of my long-term holdings, and I try not to touch them unless it's for a major expense. The last time I sold any was to help pay for a car. I also have a much smaller perpetual futures position that I opened a few weeks ago, but it hasn't reached the profit level I was hoping for. Now I'm stuck deciding whether to close that position or sell a small portion of my long-term holdings instead. Looking back, I definitely wish I'd kept a larger cash emergency fund instead of being in this position. For those who've had to raise cash unexpectedly, how did you decide what to sell? Did you protect your long-term investments and close shorter-term trades first, or did you take a different approach? submitted by /u/Street_Area1297 [link] [Kommentare]

try it right now without installing anything. the fiftyone app is running in a hugging face space for the first time (its a bit hacky atm, but working on polishing it up) space: https://huggingface.co/spaces/harpreetsahota/fiftyone-app full walkthrough: https://voxel51.com/blog/view-mcap-files-fiftyone submitted by /u/datascienceharp [link] [Kommentare]

I’m happy to share another video of my quadruped robot climbing stairs! Since my previous post, I have added contact detection and modified the locomotion control algorithm. Previously, the robot used a fairly standard MPC + WBC + vision-based control framework. I have now added a reference generator based on the Linear Inverted Pendulum Model. It generates dynamically consistent body position, velocity, and acceleration trajectories for the MPC and WBC controllers. This modification significantly improved the robot’s stability. It also allowed me to increase the swing duration of each leg, resulting in smoother foot trajectories, softer ground contacts, and quieter locomotion. submitted by /u/yoggi56 [link] [Kommentare]

Do you keep up with crypto news? Have you ever bought/sold from news? Do you ever actually trade your crypto? submitted by /u/JOSHGONAMAKEIT [link] [Kommentare]

I haven’t done any bridging since 2021, and back then it was really stressful and a total pain in the ass. I just want to know what you guys are using these days. I came across Jumper and Debridge, but to swap an altcoin 1 to 1 like Polygon from BNB chain to Polygon chain it always seems to cost 1 to 2%, which I’d rather avoid. Do you always need to swap to USDC first before bridging so it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg? Is that just how it works? Also, I still use Metamask and I’m wondering if that’s outdated. I’ve tried Rabby a little, even though a lot of people said it’s way better, but I don’t really think it is. submitted by /u/Crafty-Barracuda-777 [link] [Kommentare]

Hey everyone, During active robot bring-up and debugging, I always found myself constantly context-switching between five different terminal windows (one for colcon build, one for ros2 launch, one for checking topics/nodes, one for my editor, etc.). To fix this, I built **ros2_info**—a full-screen, VS Code-style Terminal User Interface (TUI) designed specifically for ROS 2 workflows. It gives you a complete workspace lens with zero Electron weight. ### 🌟 Key Features: * **6 Live Dashboard Tabs:** Real-time visibility into Overview, ROS 2 graph state, Workspace, Diagnostics, Trends, and Fleet. * **Real PTY Terminal:** Run `ros2` commands, `colcon build`, and launch files live inside the dashboard (not just a basic command wrapper). * **Multi-tab Editor:** Built-in code editor with syntax highlighting, find/replace, and Neovim keybindings for quick tweaks over SSH. * **Local Offline AI Assistant:** Powered by Ollama (`ai scan`, `ai fix`, `ai explain`). It can catch build errors and offer diff-gated fixes completely offline. * **Sandbox Mode:** Safely isolate nodes, topics, and services from your real system to experiment freely. Because it's built with **Rust + Ratatui**, it runs incredibly fast, has no heavy dependency chains, and works flawlessly over SSH on a Raspberry Pi or Jetson. 🔗 **Check out the repo here:** https://github.com/Gaurav-x111/ros2\_info I'd love to hear your feedback or feature requests! If this looks like something that could speed up your robotics workflow, dropping a ⭐ on GitHub would mean the world to me! submitted by /u/zang-x111 [link] [Kommentare]

Hi! Our general-purpose robot can now use tools. Humanoid hands, and especially the models controlling them reliably, aren’t available yet, so we’re focusing on making the options we can use right now and actually work. submitted by /u/Wing-Realistic [link] [Kommentare]
