I have a discord bot and a bunch of channels for projects and a new thread is started weekly for that weeks notes. The bot reads and responds to messages posted there and saves them to the appropriate location and organizes them for me

Building a wheeled robot with arms to help automate household chores - https://x.com/ajhai/status/1891933005729747096
I have been working with LLMs and VLMs to automate browser based workflows among other things for the last couple of years. Given how good the vision models have gotten lately, the perception problem is solved to level where it opens up a lot of possibilities. Manipulation is not generally solved yet but there is a lot of activity in the field and there are promising approaches to solve (OpenVLA, π0). Given these, I'm trying to build an affordable robot that can help around with household chores using language and vision models. Idea is to ship capable enough hardware that can do a few things really well with the currently available models and keep upgrading the AI stack as manipulation models get better over time.
Amazing, lol
A game: you're stuck on a 1970s spacecraft and you have to program your way home using 6502 assembly. I wanted to learn more about old 8 bit cpus so figured I would make a game out of it

The problem for me is it's 23 degrees f outside so if I vent outside I'm losing money

I wish everything was so great in my life that this could be a concern.
From Apr-Oct we have friends over and enjoy doing what ever we want, different family every weekend usually booked all but two weeks we use for just family time. From Oct-Apr various activities and housework, electronics projects, programming, etc
All the replies so far are making me envious of when my weekends were my own (or just me and my girlfriend, now wife). Weekends now revolve around the sports and activities of our children. It's a choice we make and there are a lot of positive aspects, but that doesn't mean I don't miss being able to prioritize myself a bit more :)
We went the other way and I'm so happy we did. Some think we're bad parents but we work all week and don't want our weekends working as chauffeur so we don't allow our three kids to play spring/summer sports. We have a few friend who do and it just looks miserable.
Have we seen people start to game this system? Basically, attend a cheaper school for 2-3 years then jump to an elite one to get the paper?
