You’re right that in demos, atlas focuses on practical tasks, and it does have great hands. I have seen the Chinese bots sort items from a conveyor belt and fold clothes. Given the price gap, I think China could add good hands and be competitive, but as an open platform, its similar to early PCs, and customers could dream about adding hands. It’s a huge deal to ship stuff for sale to anyone. The big lead china has is in the motor miniaturization, it seems to me.

comparisons that make Atlas look better than the video included in my response. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3NkPU9nSr

or choreographed. Definitely not a task demo, although they have made some.

Unitree, even judging from dance/kung fu demos, but also for price and availability seems far ahead. 10k humanoid shipments in 2025. Agibot about the same volume. They both have open development environments, afaiu. Atlas $160k vapourware future price, or especially mechahitler controlled $250k price on closed systems will be hard sales compared to expected Chinese/Unitree progress.

Hello Sir… Good news is I’m not calling to talk about our Lord and Saviour. Bad news, can you verify your identity and daily access to the following pornhub fetishes?

that was an older model though.

“up to” is dishonest to start. They claim on some of their models 600+ km range. It is city mileage though. Solid state batteries claim 400wh/kg, and may be replacing 180wh/kg batteries. That can mean more than 2.5x range city due to reduced weight. The highway mileage is much lower though.

The motor design has huge performance benefits. Power is like a solid disk motor of the same size. Their previous model claimed much faster 0-60 time, and so I don’t get why it dropped, but if true, the discharge rate of battery simply isn’t as high as NMC. That would also explain why they have to have both huge range and fast charge.

Doesn’t need both fast charging and huge range. Knock $10k off the price for half the range is a much more appealing product. Battery tech in a much lighter sub 2000w ebike/powerstation is a much bigger win, as this is still 600lbs afaiu.

is it possible to back up an esim to a computer file (USB) and then restore it on a new phone?

This concept was started 3-5 years ago, when retail batteries where $500/kwh. They are now under $100/kwh. Concept is worthwhile for diversification of resources and talent.

how does he afford to get a ticket to go to epstein island?

Epstein was a Mossad agent offering “honey pots” for kompromat and rule over the US/west. “You’re a super interesting guy. I’m having a supermodel orgy in Bahamas with lots of other famous people. I can fly by and pick you up”… you’re not doing anything wrong by saying yes.

It’s by choice. Samsung did announce recently that they are going back to consumer ram production instead of trying to compete for low margin big contracts on current gen hbm. At half of current prices, ddr5 is more profitable than HBM even for hynix (leader).

IMO, the pricing is an extortion scam rather than a real shortage. People are falling for it because of AI hype narrative. Best to wait it out.

Not on Alibaba today. Even if they need to bin many at slower speed, it could help with memory market. Needs actual production instead of press releases.

But that is smaller than the naturals

There’s big advantages to no precedence rules. You don’t have to remember them all. Haskell/SML family create nightmares from trying to have user defined operators with precedence “value” of 0-10. Operators are extremely powerful syntax simplification, but precedence rules makes them too hard to mentally parse.

China has made massive breakthroughs. In chips, SMIC/Huawei are advancing impressively in terms of products, but it is unclear how good yields/costs are, even if they are shipping commercial products.

Still, this PR does give hints that this is Garage hacked EUV with cannibalized parts they cannot make yet, and 4 year time scale is far out enough. There was PR of EUV breakthrough this spring too, and don’t recall if this claim is additional advancement over that.

they’ll just blow their chip fabs

The US has said they will blow them up “for them”. TSMC is supportive of US puppetted militarist fascism in Taiwan, but has backfired a bit from Trump. Tarriffs on Taiwan, and more restrictions on Chinese operations. TSMC definitely wants to avoid war even if it likes politicians that hype up weapons gifts, but also independently subsidizes it.

War is going to depend on US dictated decoupling, that black market can’t get around. The fascists will have a hard time trusting US backing for the island, as Trump has been softer on China than Taiwan so far this year.
