Reality show people are the worst.

It’s World Cup season for us humans, but how good are robots at soccer? Here, I break down the latest results at the cutting edge of robot soccer and tackle the question… can they beat people? 🤖⚽️ youtu.be/JQi_UCWhe2c?...

What’s the story there? Is it just mythology at this point?

The coast is never clear. How a simple geography question changed math.

In fairness to the robot, it’s dancing blind. It’s not using its cameras to do the pretrained choreography.

Well, that’s not a creepy visual. Not one bit.

Thursday (6/18) at 3pm ET / 12pm PT, I will be going live on Instagram (@chubicki) to talk robots and human movement. How robots move like us (and how they don’t)! Join me live for an hour of chat and Q&A. See you then! @movementscience.bsky.social www.instagram.com/chubicki/

Do you know why the TASER was named the TASER? You’ll never guess, because it’s ridiculous.

Maybe there’s a German word for it kinda like shadenfreude

I don’t know much about this Lego resale controversy but I’m surprised YouTuber “Reckless Ben” isn’t showing better judgment.

Yeah robots can hurt and are very dumb. The organizers need to enforce safe distance.

It happens. It also shows exactly how the current humanoid controllers work. They’re mimicking a human performance. But they’re blind and are trained to flail their legs to catch themselves when they trip. That first trip recovery is quite impressive and would have been mind blowing a few years ago.

As a new grad student, I went to a conference and saw one of the senior greybeards of the field strutting around in an inside-out polo. On that day I discovered my new life goal.

YouTube videos about visualizing 4D space are optimally calibrated for both me and my 1 year old to watch with dropped jaws.

The revote rules follow the season 47 rule clarification regarding the inclusion of extra votes in a tie (i.e. Sierra). Can confirm I am living my best life.

As we bid farewell to @chubicki.bsky.social on #Survivor50, here's something I was very lucky to capture on Day 2 when visiting the Cila camp: A Dr. Hubicki lecture! I don’t know what’s better: Christian’s description of binary code, or everyone else’s reactions to getting taught math on the beach

Me on an island with a flaming torch but the image filter makes my eyes look like I’ve been cursed by satan

I just got the most touching thank you email of my professional life. It led with “NO NEED TO REPLY.” I feel seen.

Newton wrote the laws of motion and we are equally excited about it.

To get absolutely every pick right in the exact order? Just by complete random chance it’s about 1 in 10 trillion, even accounting for the ordering of double/triple tribals not mattering.
