I don't know. What did I do this week? Feels strange like the sixth was more than five days ago. The Sim2Real failed because the Real2Sim step wasn't accurate enough. I started putting the meshes that make up the robot base and camera mounts together with the mesh for the base of

So I spent a lot of time this weekend trying to align the simulation camera with the actual camera, even going so far as to come up with multiple approaches to solve this problem with varying degrees of math and automation. The quick math one worked well enough that I

So cursor apparently realized now that Cody is dead they're the king of the mountain and the features they currently offer for \20 a month are now going to retail for \200/month. So I've been setting up [continue][continue] with huggingface providers because Qwen3-235B-A22B is a damn good model for only

I really want to get one of those roombas. I had one in Vegas and it was nice. I've got almost everything off the floor in the dining room and kitchen, but there's still a lot of work to do in the rest of the house. I figured I might

So I'm printing the parts I've been modifying this week. First up is the top piece of the [camera mount][overhead-camera]. I guess I'm printing out both camera mounts separately or something. I mean I know I want to use two cameras so the order isn't really that important. First print turned

I'm still so extremely pleased I can reference my book or my journal or my articles inside my site like this from chapter one of the scientific computing with python book's [`sin` curve](#sin-curve). I need to take a short break from the drive to push through the lerobot-sim2real tutorial and study

So I was scrolling deer.social and reading some scifi book after work and I was like: > "You know what I need to be reading? The specs for the LeRobot SDK is what." So I did some reading on my phone and started digging into the [docs on huggingface.co][so100-setup]. Eventually

I think I'm already starting to find having a publicly facing journal/blog that I'm supposed to update regularly a bit tedious. I don't know, feels sort of Big Brother. Like I'm trying to get out in them podcasts. I am not. I talked all this shit about my projects and how I

I didn't do much of anything this week outside of work, and even then I wasn't that busy at work. Not really sure what I've been doing to be honest. Weeks leading up to this week have been marked by goal after goal being accomplished. This week I just sort

Well I guess it's Monday already. Dang. Time flies when you're having fun typesetting. One thing I'd like to do is give my journal entries titles and change their names to the title after I'm done editing. But starting off with yeah Daily Journal - DD Mon YYYY works fine. :::::::{div} :class:

The problem isn't that we lack ideas or eloquence - it's that our thoughts are fragmented across platforms and protocols. I can write extensively about software development in conversations with AI, but translating that into long-form content feels like an insurmountable task. So I want to do something to help

So basically we derive an equation for electrostatic waves in vacuum under the assumption vacuum polarization means we can't neglect \rho or \bold{J}. I was taught these things were impossible. Something about something not being conserved. I don't remember the exact verbage that was used, but longitudinal polarziation of light was
