🤖 AI & Robotics - Harnessing AI for Robotics

Harnesses often get dismissed as just scaffolding, just prompt engineering, and not real research. But that couldn't be farther from the truth. The same model weights that score 30% on ARC-AGI score 95% with a better harness. So we gathered a group of researchers and founders to discuss the importance of harnesses in AI research.

Key Points:

• Harnesses as Research Tools: Harnesses are not just a means to an end, but a crucial tool for researchers to explore the capabilities of AI models.

• The Power of Harnesses: A well-designed harness can significantly improve the performance of an AI model, as demonstrated by the example of the model weights scoring 95% on ARC-AGI.

• The Future of AI Research: Harnesses will play a vital role in the future of AI research, enabling researchers to push the boundaries of what is possible with AI.

📸 Photography - Apples in the Original Snap

Apples in the original Snap are basically animated quads so I wasn't sure if implementing them like that instead of a 3d model was a good idea but I think it's not looking that bad now.

Key Points:

• Apples in the Original Snap: The apples in the original Snap game are animated quads, not 3D models.

• Implementation Decision: The decision to use animated quads was not clear-cut, but it seems to be working well.

• Game Development: The development of games like Snap requires careful consideration of graphics and implementation choices.
