Spent the weekend in LA and felt that, for the first time, I get the city. This essay explains it perfectly: "No matter what you do in L.A., your behavior is appropriate for the city. [...] You can have fake breasts and drive a Ford Mustang – or you can grow a beard, weigh 300 pounds, and read Christian science fiction novels. Either way, you’re fine: that’s just how it works. You can watch Cops all day or you can be a porn star or you can be a Caltech physicist."

Most of the progress in robotics in ~the last year boil down to 3 things: 1. High-level reasoning with LLMs to break down long-horizon tasks into short-horizon subtasks 2. Better vision models due to self-supervision 3. Big leap in the parametrization of the policy function

DinoV2 outperforms many segmentation and depth estimation sota benchmarks and yet trained on "only" ~1.2B images. So much more gains left from vision pre-training.

Incredible to see the extent to which the success of @scrollprize was *architected* by @natfriedman, @JanPaul123, and Stephen throughout the year. A thousand small and unobvious decisions that made this possible.

@Suhail Chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7 from Elements of Statistical Learning are really helpful. The first 7 chapters of Sutton & Barto book are great for RL fundamentals.
