Kevin sent me a link to this email from Linus Torvalds the other day, and I found that to be a great example of something that has been bothering me …
Researchers at the University of Toronto's Continuum Robotics Laboratory introduced CRAFT, a 3D-printed modular design library for tendon-driven continuum robots that allows a single robot to physically reconfigure its shape, stiffness, and degrees of freedom within minutes by snapping together six interchangeable modules. The same base robot was reconfigured into a long teleoperated probe for aircraft-wing inspection achieving 41% reduction in sag, a pipe-crawling robot capable of navigating 90-degree bends and 30-degree inclines, and a soft robotic hand that successfully cracked eggs with 85% accuracy. CRAFT eliminates the need to build entirely new robots for different tasks, replacing bespoke redesign with rapid modular composition.

Recently Bitfinex exchange has made all trading fees equal to zero and majority of withdrawal fees are zero too including USDt. This is quite big exchange and I am using it since 2018 without any problems, but their new business model is puzzling me. How they are going to make any profits? AI tells me that they may make profit on a bigger spread, but this would be an arbitrage opportunity and anyone could make profit by undercutting them. So I am really puzzled. submitted by /u/perelmanych [link] [Kommentare]

Started testing a private qwen 35B moe capacity LLM runtime on s26 ultra, early testing shows that active model footprint can fit within the device’s memory limits.( not sharing the methods or architecture used) and results suggest roughly 90 input processing t/s achievable after optimisation and output generation is around 8 tokens/s on this mobile. Point is i learned ai ml based on my interest and no formal PhD , I have compute and resources to test. Anyone willing to join or collab to test on this I tried publishing papers on arxiv and 4 papers are still on hold as im first author and from no institution... submitted by /u/Severe_Post_2751 [link] [Kommentare]
