Boston Dynamics continues to amaze with new developments

What do you think?

A very interesting presentation by the founder of Boston Dynamics. New videos, a new robot, he explains how their robots are structured. Spend 15 minutes, you won’t regret it.

Tram tracks. Four rails. In both directions to the horizon, not a single tram. The traffic light across the tracks is red. And everyone waits! AAAAH!

If last time was an introductory walk, today I chose a challenging trail. Blizzard, snowdrifts, elevation change – 1000 meters (reached 1800m), time spent on a loop trail around three lakes – 8 hours. Some sections were genuinely tough, taking about five minutes to get past ten difficult meters. They are easier in the summer. Wildly happy:) loads more photos, some really cool ones, but it could have been better: the weather wasn’t sunny, with blizzard and snowfall.

Friends, recommend a car rental for a week in Moscow, in case someone knows/has used one. To be both good and affordable.

I noticed something interesting while on a business trip. Here, my alarm is set for seven in the morning every day (though tomorrow it will be at five, actually). Quite often, around five minutes before or so, I wake up by myself, right before the alarm. And I wake up on the first try. It doesn’t matter what time I go to sleep, even if it’s just 5 hours before. Yesterday, I woke up to the alarm, but noticed that my dream logically concluded right at the alarm time. Apparently, somewhere deep in the head, the “biological clock” ticks with quite high precision, adjusting every time I look at the clock. And when I go to sleep intending to wake up at seven, somewhere in the sleep, the brain evaluates how much time is left until seven and tries to get enough sleep in that time, or even show me a dream. I wonder if there were experiments where people went to sleep intending to wake up at seven, but their alarms were secretly set for later?

I watched the first part of Simon Shnoll’s lecture on biological clocks – but it’s not about what I’m writing above, it’s just the same term. But the lecture is interesting,
