Flow Reversal Steering is basically a CAM post-processor for robot policies. The competence was always there-language is just a terrible G-code interpreter.

$781bn invested. UK can't even cobble together a coherent plan. Tells you everything.
๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ India has joined the worldโ€™s Top 5 manufacturing nations โ€” overtaking the UK! UNIDO 2025 data confirms the milestone. On track for Top 3 by 2029-30 with strong policy push. #MakeInIndia #ViksitBharat

Agent AI just lit a fire under traditional servers, CPUs now in full shortage mode. Forget the GPU-only narrative. The rise of real AI agents is driving way stronger-than-expected demand for regular servers, sucking up CPUs and creating major supply crunches. Taiwanese players are feeling it: Synaptics (server mgmt chips) seeing red-hot orders, added new packaging capacity, and expects sequential growth with H2 clearly stronger. UMC guiding gradual ramp on power mgmt and 22nm. Silicon wafer maker Taishengke confirms customers have flipped from destocking to rebuilding inventory, the cycle has officially turned. World Advanced and others also bullish. Not everyone though, some interface chip guys are cautious on memory price spikes and motherboard slowdowns. Classic case of one tech shift rippling everywhere. Source: CTee

"Building" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that headline.
Everyone is focused on AI models. Iโ€™m watching AI infrastructure. The UKโ€™s latest push into sovereign AI, chips and compute is a reminder that the biggest opportunities are often one layer below the headlines. Own the infrastructure, shape the future. techorbit.uk/news/uk-nationaโ€ฆ

Regulatory capture is monopoly by another name.
The reason why first bullet point is always a fatally bad mistake is given by the second bullet point. This is also why Anthropic is absolutely hell-bent on capturing the regulatory regime: you can never entrust a tool as powerful as AI to whoever might be elected next! Their solution is to ensure that power is held by an entity which they can be certain will always align with the correct beliefs: themselves!

Opus an Codex working together is the best you can get without Fable. Here's how to do it without the Open Router's Fusion: 1. Create a Codex ideation skill, where Claude Code uses Codex as a peer, not a tool. 2. Instructions: @AGENTS.md in CLAUDE.md. One source of truth. 3. Skills: ask Claude Code to mirror .claude/skills into .agents/skills with a sync hook. Edit once, both see it. 4. MCPs: import .mcp.json into .codex/config.toml. Same servers, two runtimes. Full instructions: productcompass.pm/p/codex-seโ€ฆ
Introducing the Fusion API, the smartest compound model in the market. Fusion achieves Fable-level intelligence at half the price. How it works ๐Ÿ‘‡

Raspberry Pi did more for makers than most. Good tech is good tech regardless of where it's made.
Silicon is the intersection of hardware and software. We need more microcontrollers in more places. Gathering better information from more machines is how we move on to the next level of efficient operations. Factories are long overdue for upgrades. Old machines are begging to be learned from. We are long overdue for something purely American! Arduino doesn't stand a chance. Raspberry Pis are from the UK Ti couldnt care less The esp32 is purely Chinese We need secure, American controlled, American built, affordable microcontrollers built on more recent architecture. I will change this

This was a geopolitically important event. China made a decision that distribution > profits and chose open source. Their models will proliferate. Our will become less globally prevalent. More importantly, this will drive demand for sovereign compute and AI resources.

Talking to other researchers in the "learning from human video" space early this year, a common observation was that it's hard to show transfer from true in-the-wild Internet video, compared to curated research datasets. In most of these datasets, the humans deliberately move like robots, and hands are tracked with clean 3D labels. The usual starting point for Internet video โ€” run a monocular hand pose estimator on YouTube videos, cotrain with robot data โ€” often doesn't work. In our recent work, we study this "YouTube-type" video setting and try to understand what it takes to absorb egocentric Internet videos into a VLA training pipeline. 1/n

Using AI to navigate office politics instead of doing actual work. Tells you everything.
this Claude Code plugin is for my corporate soldiers ๐Ÿซก I know people who literally use these several times a day, every day, which is sad, but also the reality ๐Ÿ—‚๏ธ prep-the-room (daily) โ€” helps you prepare for an upcoming meeting, 1:1, exec review, or tense stakeholder conversation by reading the room, clarifying the business and relationship purpose, spotting political traps, and choosing opening moves. Use it daily or several times a week before high-stakes conversations where the cost of walking in unprepared is high. ๐Ÿ—‚๏ธ respond-under-fire (daily/weekly) โ€” helps you respond to a fresh workplace incident such as a slipped dependency, a snarky comment, negative feedback, interpersonal friction, drama, or a team saying you steamrolled them. Use it daily or weekly when something has just happened and your first instinct might make the situation worse. ๐Ÿ—‚๏ธ manage-the-upward-channel (weekly) โ€” helps you manage what flows upward to leadership, including launch-date commitments, exec updates, visibility work, and pointless process imposed from above. Use it weekly, especially when you owe a date, need to write a status update, or have to shield the team while still giving leaders what they need. ๐Ÿ—‚๏ธ pick-your-battles (weeklyโ€“monthly) โ€” helps you decide whether a workplace fight is worth political capital and, if it is, how to design the move without escalating impulsively or creating unnecessary enemies. Use it weekly to monthly for the highest-stakes situations, such as deciding whether to push back, escalate, challenge a strategy, or take on a powerful stakeholder.

By unifying prediction and control, NavWAM acts as a closed-loop policy out of the box. In evaluations, it outperforms planning-based world models without needing test-time action search, matches a much larger 7B VLA policy, and transfers successfully to real mobile robots.

NavWAM (Navigation World Action Model) solves this by placing future observations, goal-progress values, and executable action chunks into a single, shared latent sequence. This turns goal-conditioned navigation into a joint denoising problem over a 2B video backbone.

Knives are fine but I'm an engineer, where are the craft multitool makers?
My friends at Montana Knife are absolutely crushing it with their Speedio fleet and their new folder. They have incredible process all around.
