Robotics

The π₀ release introduces a VLA generalist model for dexterous tasks like laundry folding and table bussing. π₀ uses a transformer with flow matching, combining VLM pre-training benefits and continuous action chunks at 50Hz, and is pre-trained on a broad dataset. With distinct pre-training and post-training stages, it supports zero-shot and fine-tuned task adaptation, demonstrating robustness to external interventions, as seen in an uncut video of π₀ folding laundry with a single model.

π₀ and its smaller, non-VLM version are evaluated against:

- Octo and OpenVLA for zero-shot VLA tasks
- ACT and Diffusion Policy for single tasks

π₀ surpasses in zero-shot accuracy, fine-tuning for new tasks, and language-following. Compute-parity ablations highlight trade-offs between VLA backbone gains and pre-training costs. Hierarchical methods like RT-H aid complex tasks needing low-level control and high-level planning, though Pi_0’s robust architecture largely drives its performance.

Explored Bluesky a bit today. This thread by their Dan about the protocol was useful: https://bsky.app/profile/danabra.mov/post/3l7yvxbuhx42f

bsky feels ideologically stronger than FC because their main client is open source

That said, apps having to aggregate data is bad devx & the relay is a single point of failure

What do you think? Is wanting to go to space a red flag 🚩

I think no. If someone told me they wanted to go to space, I’d think they’re curious, love adventure, care about technology, and have a desire to explore the unknown and gain new perspectives.

What is the most frustrating thing about Farcaster right now?

Reply and like the replies from others that resonate.

I’ll only ask clarifying questions (ie I won’t tell you you’re wrong) and then respond to a dozen or so top answers in a video this weekend with how we think about it.

Planning to record this video this weekend. 

If you have something you're frustrated with that's not addressed in the original cast, reply to this cast. I'll only ask clarify questions and respond in the video.

surreal to be supporting such artists with incredible track record in the afro house scene

fun fact Liva K is from my hometown, Thessaloniki!

There’s a kind of weight to this place that is difficult to articulate if you’re not immediately aware of it. It feels like a networking event; there’s an emphasis on careerism, tech, business trends and an impatience for the little things. Most of the attempts at culture feel forced & deemphasized, like they’re getting in the way of the dapps professing to change the world. Everyone has to be serious or profound or have the most serious take and it feels exhausting.

I agree with this which is what put me off in the beginning, now im trying to see farcatser as my ‘close friends ig story’, like the stuff i post is not what id post on twitter anymore, but its the stuff I used to post, less curated a bit more whimsy. We yearn for the whimsy of social media again

just discovered this in my wallet, i’ve been carrying it for months
