ROPA: Synthetic Robot Pose Generation for RGB-D Bimanual Data Augmentation
Training robust bimanual manipulation policies via imitation learning requires demonstration data with broad coverage over robot poses, contacts, and scene contexts. However, collecting diverse and precise real-world demonstrations is costly and time-consuming, which hinders scalability. Prior works have addressed this with data augmentation, typically for either eye-in-hand (wrist camera) setups with RGB inputs or for generating novel images without paired actions, leaving augmentation for eye…

«LLMs are copyright removal devices - copy open source (or proprietary!) data into it, and you get copyright free data on the other side that you are free to plagiarize into newly copyrighted works. While this process robs all copyright owners, it is particularly damaging to people involved in sharing communities, since many are particpating not for money but for the love of the game - what librarian Fobazi Ettarh calls “vocational awe”.»

Tomorrow night, we lock in projection angles and test locations.
We’ll paint buildings with Stephen Miller’s face and the line:
“Fascism ain’t pretty.”
We’ll make sure Trump, Miller, and their staff can’t avoid it
—in windows, on walls, across plazas.
Your support for the Save America Movement will fund projection crews and gear, replenishment teams, and high-foot-traffic coverage.
Our deadline is TONIGHT.
We need the full $50,000 to do this right, …

I just gave to the Save America Movement!

Health insurance prices for next year under the Affordable Care Act
are now available in about a dozen states,
giving Americans their first look at the sharp increases many will pay for coverage
if Congress does not extend subsidies that have made some plans more affordable.
The annual enrollment period for Obamacare is expected to begin Nov. 1,
but the costs for some Americans are becoming publicly available piecemeal through some state marketplaces.

Higher Obamacare Prices Become Public in a Dozen States
Consumers are facing greater costs for their 2026 A.C.A. health coverage as Congress continues to debate whether to extend subsidies that help people afford their premiums.

Trying to get more details on those mass firings at CISA but remember that Russell Vought’s Project 2025 called for demolishing CISA and moving it into the Department of Transportation.

Project 2025 could escalate US cybersecurity risks, endanger more Americans
The conservative think tank blueprint for how Donald Trump should govern the US if he wins in November calls for dismantling CISA, among many cyber-related measures. Experts say this would increase cybersecurity risks, undermine critical infrastructure, and put more Americans in danger.
