https://app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?BillNumber=2711&Year=2025 This is insane, and I never heard about it before today.

It is now cheaper to just pay the fine for not registering with the state than to actually register. submitted by /u/BitsBytesGaming |
Gasgoo Munich-OYMotion Technologies has officially launched its “Embodied Intelligence Education Product Matrix” during the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC2026). Designed specifically for vocational colleges and applied universities, the suite spans four critical stages—hardware disassembly, algorithm development, data acquisition, and scenario training. The goal is to address a looming talent shortage as the embodied intelligence…
Industrial robots have historically gone where products are rigid, standardized and produced at scale. Automotive and electronics dominate global installations because their materials and sequences lend themselves to mechanical repetition, the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) reported in its World Robotics 2025 report. Apparel has resisted the same logic. Fabrics shift, stretch and fold unpredictably….
This illustration is by DaveKeen on instagram. I am a self-taught CAD user, and I like to make props for my photoshoots, which brings us to these goggles.

The Army is looking for an autonomous ground vehicle to get its broken platforms out of combat zones, the service said in a notice last week, as it continues exploring the use of robots for difficult battlefield tasks. In a request for information posted June 17, officials said the service was interested in a “robust,…
I always figured image-to-video was just objectively better than text-to-video for consistency. You give it a ref image, the model anchors to it, done. But running the exact same shot intent through both paths, the gap is weird and not where I thought it'd be. The shot was a slow push-in on a guy at…
I've been exploring a tornado humidifier concept built around a simple question: when an appliance changes the atmosphere of a room, should its work remain invisible? The form uses a glass cover as the stage for a mist vortex. Rather than treating visible vapor as decoration added after the functional work is done, the idea…
