Why Optimus OPTIMUS IS THE SUPERNOVA Most people still think the goal is a walking robot demo. That’s only the first robot. Elon has been clear: three things growing exponentially, multiplied, then the robots make the robots. “Humanoid robots will be three things that are growing exponentially multiplied by each other recursively.” “You are going to have exponential increase in digital intelligence, in AI Chip capability, and electromechanical dexterity.” “The usefulness is roughly these three things multiplied by each other, then the robots can start making the robots— then you have a recursive multiplicable exponential.” “This is Super Nova.” That’s why Optimus matters. You cannot scale labor by hiring. You need a machine in the human shape, then you need it to copy itself. One robot you build is the seed. Robots making robots is the destination.

Figuring out the origins of cosmic rays (e.g. supernova, black hole...) from ground-based detector arrays is a notoriously difficult inverse problem. This post walks through how astroparticle physicists are using Keras to replace the usual hand-crafted features and directly model the raw spatio-temporal waveforms
