This tiny screw is powering the humanoid robot revolution

The humanoid robotics revolution is just around the corner. Test models are already working in factories alongside human beings across the world, while AI companies develop new foundation models designed to help robots navigate their environments as easily as humans do.

But computer “brains” are useless without the skeletons that give humanoid robots their form—and the ma

IPOs are being pulled and the market is yo-yoing. What’s next?

Calling this a chaotic week on Wall Street might be underselling the situation. We’ve seen drops of more than 2,000 points in the Dow and then gains of even more. In the past five days, the Dow has swung almost 3,300 points.

That volatility has pushed more than a dozen companies to shelve their IPO plans, including some of the year’s most-highly anticipated debuts.

Why I read 597 applications for one job—no AI involved

Last month I posted a job description on our blog for a chief of staff role at my venture capital firm, Graham & Walker. Turns out, that job description really hit a nerve. Within an hour, more than a hundred candidates had put their hat in the ring and filled out the long Google form that served as our only form of application.

Silicon Valley needs to get back to silicon

With their drab gray suits and their Buddy Holly glasses, the so-called traitorous eight don’t look like revolutionaries. Given no context, you can imagine them occupying some kind of middle-management role at a small regional bank. And yet these are the people you can thank for the digital world.

The eight—which included Intel cofounder Gordon Moore—had departed Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory to found Fairchild

Záhadná čelist z moře u Tchaj-wanu se proměnila v nejlepší fosilii denisovana

V roce 2015 vylovili rybářskou sítí z mořského dna poblíž Peskadorských ostrovů čelist z lidské linie, ze které se nepodařilo vytáhnout DNA. Paleoprotemika ukázala na muže denisovana, který žil asi před 10 až 190 tisíci let. Je to důvod k oslavě, protože jde o nejlepší fosilii denisovana, jakou máme k dispozici. http://www.osel.cz/13990-zahadna-celist-z-more-u-tchaj-wanu-se-promenila-v-nejlepsi-fosilii-denisovana.html

Show HN: I built a tool to manage and compare credit card rewards

This is a free tool that helps you manage and visualize your credit card rewards across different categories.

You can input the cards in your wallet and see how they complement each other, spot gaps in your setup, and also see the best card to use for a given merchant.

I’m also a founder at OneCard, where we’re building a smart card that’ll eventually handle all of this automatically, routing each purchase to the best card in real-time.

Would love feedback from the HN community!
