When Anya Zorin and Irmak Guzey open-sourced the RUKA Hand (a low-cost robotic hand) earlier this year, people kept asking us how to get one. Open hardware isn’t as easy to share as code. So we’re releasing an off-the-shelf RUKA, in collaboration with WowRobo-Leo Xiao and zhazhali.

I've added an option to install papers2dataset as Claude Code and OpenAI Developers Codex skills! I did it while creating a dataset of datasets to centralize for Hugging Science, because even if the paper is in open access one still needs to write more code to download it!

Great episode! Had several talks about similar things recently with friends

I was diving deeper into community/trend detection on graphs, so it was a good opportunity to test some things: I read 5k profiles and created this interactive chart to find AI communities, using hierarchical leiden + laplasian centrality: flowscope.ai/bsky_bubbles

Difficulty estimation Before AI: How long would it take (in months) to train a smart recent college graduate with no specialized training in my field to complete this task? Now: ??

What I really really dislike about Berlin is that there is no sense of urgency in anything. Forget psychopathic levels of urgency. There isn’t even a basic sense of urgency in anything. Instead what we have is this weird aesthetification of low agency and slowness. It is cool

Avoid Flow. Do What Does Not Come Easy. The mistake most weak pianists make is playing, not practicing.

Another post another banger. With lots of AI for science startups generating new hypothesis, ideas and experiments, maybe it's time to start a general cloud lab (in the first version as a proxy to hire several phds in different fields and run experiments on demand)

Why the share of social science works (according to OpenAlex data) went from 30% to 37% from 2005 till 2015, but then fell back to 30%?

Why is nobody working on it outside of US? Is it because of funding? Risky revenue models?

"They didn't need a rate increase; they needed greater efficiency" Can't read this without an unconscious frown, but this is written in 1998 reason.com/1998/01/01/the…
