There is a certain type of person everywhere now, especially online. He consumes endless information every day: philosophy, psychology, productivity, spirituality, neuroscience, business, self-improvement, history. He knows a little about everything and deeply experiences almost nothing. His entire identity becomes built around understanding instead of living. He watches videos about confidence instead of speaking confidently. Reads about discipline instead of becoming disciplined. Studies relationships instead of learning how to love. Consumes motivational content instead of taking action. He feels intelligent because he is constantly mentally stimulated. But stimulation is not transformation. Most of the time, knowledge becomes emotional protection. Reality is unpredictable. Reality humiliates. Reality exposes weakness. Books and ideas do not. Inside information, he can continue imagining himself as intelligent, deep, insightful, different from ordinary people. So he remains trapped in preparation. He constantly feels as if he is "becoming" someone, while his real life remains strangely untouched. He develops sophisticated language for problems he never confronts directly. He can explain human behavior beautifully while being unable to handle ordinary discomfort, rejection, uncertainty, loneliness, or risk. He slowly turns life into observation instead of participation. The internet rewards this personality heavily. He receives validation for sounding aware rather than becoming capable. Eventually, he begins confusing self-analysis with growth and information with wisdom. But beneath the intelligence usually exists the same thing: fear. Fear of failure. Fear of embarrassment. Fear of reality answering back. Because action destroys fantasy. The moment he truly acts, he can no longer hide inside potential.

Either takeoff or the biggest bubble in history

Babies make time feel more relevant. 2 months starts feels long as you see the evolution in how they grow. In a sense any startup is just a baby company. Maybe nurturing babies, whatever there form, is part of the key to fulfilment.

This place will undoubtedly change the world.

We took over a former technical university. This is Hogwarts in real life. For people who want to work on something too early, too weird, too ambitious.

These guys are one of the most cracked teams I’ve ever met working on one of the most interesting problems. Would 1000% recommend checking out there stuff.

CPUs suck. We're building a new general-purpose chip that scales to thousands of cores while being more energy-efficient. We're hiring hardware design engineers, consider joining us tendrils.co/jobs What we do differently ...

Huge thank you to everyone who came to our first-ever Fall 2025 Showcase, the incredible demoers that the audience LOVED (high praise post-event!), @jeffreythejin our concert pianist, and our showcase team who without whom this event wouldn't have been possible: @TheMingjie, @elzpl and @realfigmafiend (beautiful designs), @sophiegu0401, @inwkatie, @ruhao_lo, and @librendaa072. Shoutout to 26C on AV (@uwaterloodj on instagram), @jrodgers for hosting us in the space and his closing talk on the history of Waterloo, and many more. Incredibly proud of all the demoers, the bustling builder community here, and people who came from afar to join. Thank you to @Forge, @convex, @shipfr8 and @Buildvay, @SarkaryShahvir, Yuvraj (cogni.inc), and @jrodgers (buildersclub.ca), our incredible sponsors who followed along the entire way.

Tarkov players are masochists. You won’t change my mind.

The world will not be the same Few people laughed, Few people cried, Most people were silent.

Be prepared, something is happening.

Everyone is bridging the sim2real gap in robotics. HUGE MISTAKE. Missed opportunity for sim2real in dating. @BeomsooSon @pham_blnh

Day 29: You can play with the SO-ARM100 right in your browser! @Buildvay and I built it. In a day. playrobots.vercel.app/ There are robots everywhere, but where’s the data to train them? We’re solving that. Training and teleoperation should be easy and fun. So we made it work on the web. Come play. :D @fdotinc @hthieblot @ruslanjabari @FurqanR @dantelentini @super8n

Reasoning through first principles serves as a foundation to our convictions.

Let’s build something cool @Buildvay

solving closed loop optimization problems with @Buildvay

We lack the high quality training data required for advanced robotic foundation models. The answer may be to make this data gathering process fun. It's a double miracle, as it needs to be enjoyable AND useful. I believe this should be explored regardless.

IN JUST TWO DAYS @BeomsooSon AND I BUILT A MUJOCO BASED DRONE SIMULATOR FULLY HOSTED ON THE WEB. Try it out here! (On PC): mujoco-wasm.vercel.app/ Check out the github here!: github.com/k1a11220/sim2game @fdotinc @theresidency @hthieblot @ruslanjabari @nick_linck
