Dedicating this episode to all the therapists and gays that heal us! This week is all about the VMAs and psychotic moms. However, before all that I pay my respects to the late Giorgio Armani. Mr. Armani was an iconic (and insanely rich) figure in fashion that will live on for generations to come. After that I highlight my new favorite viral clip of two college footballers in a homoerotic embrace. If this is sports from now on, then maybe I will watch the Super Bowl! Then I discuss this years VMAs which was basically the Sabrina Carpenter variety hour. Next up is my new favorite Netflix documentary, Unknown Number: The High School Catfish. This b!tch, Kendra, sure does know how to drag out an elaborate cyberstalking! Finally, I touch on the titillating new teaser trailer for Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights. So good!!!

Robotic hands: a $50 trillion opportunity 30:37

לפני 7 ימים30:37

30:37

Are humanoid robots distracting us from the real unlock in robotics ... hands? In this TechFirst episode, host John Koetsier digs into the hardest (and most valuable) problem in robotics: dexterous manipulation. Guest Mike Obolonsky, Partner at Cortical Ventures, argues that about $50 trillion of global economic activity flows through “hands work,” yet manipulation startups have raised only a fraction of what locomotion and autonomy companies have. We break down why hands are so hard (actuators, tactile sensing, proprioception, control, data) and what gets unlocked when we finally crack them. What we'll talk through ... • Why “navigation ≠ manipulation” and why most real-world jobs need hands • The funding mismatch: billions to autonomy & humanoids vs. comparatively little to hands • The tech stack for dexterity: actuators, tactile sensors (pressure, vibration, shear), feedback, and AI • Grasping vs. manipulation: picking, placing, using tools (e.g., dishwashers to scalpels) • Reliability in the wild: interventions/hour, wet/greasy plates, occlusions, bimanual dexterity • Practical paths: task-specific grippers, modular end-effectors, and “good enough” today vs. general purpose tomorrow • The moonshot: what 70–90% human-level hands could do for productivity on Earth ... and off-planet Chapters 00:00 Intro—are we underinvesting in robotic hands? 01:10 Why hands matter more than legs (economics of manipulation) 04:30 Funding realities: autonomy & humanoids vs. hands 08:40 Locomotion progress vs. manipulation bottlenecks 12:10 Teleop now, autonomy later—how data gets gathered 14:20 What’s missing: actuators, tactile sensing, proprioception 17:10 Perception limits in the real world (wet dishes, occlusions) 22:00 General-purpose dexterity vs. task-specific ROI 26:00 Startup landscape & reliability (interventions/hour) 29:00 Modular end-effectors and upgrade paths 30:10 The moonshot: productivity explosion when hands are solved Who should watch Robotics founders, VCs, AI researchers, operators in warehousing & manufacturing, and anyone tracking humanoids beyond the hype.

The future could be much healthier for both farmers and everyone who eats, thanks to farm robots that kill weeds with lasers. In this episode of TechFirst, we chat with Paul Mikesell, CEO of Carbon Robotics, to discuss groundbreaking advancements in agricultural technology. Paul shares updates since our last conversation in 2021, including the launch of LaserWeeder G2 and Carbon's autonomous tractor technology: AutoTractor. LaserWeeder G2 quick facts: - Modular design: Swappable laser “modules” that adapt to different row sizes (80-inch, 40-inch, etc.) - Laser hardware: Each module has 2 lasers; a standard 20-foot machine = 12 modules = 24 lasers - Laser precision: Targets the plant’s meristem (≈3mm on small weeds) with pinpoint accuracy - Weed kill speed: 20–150 milliseconds per weed (including detection + laser fire) - Throughput: 8,000–10,000 weeds per minute (Gen 2, up from ~5,000/min on Gen 1) - Coverage rate: 3–4 acres per hour on the 20-foot G2 model - ROI timeline: Farmers typically achieve payback in under 3 years - Yield impact: Up to 50% higher yields in some conventional crops due to eliminating herbicide damage - Price: Standard 20-foot LaserWeeder G2 = $1.4M, larger models scale from there - Global usage: Units in the U.S. (Midwest corn & soy, Idaho & Arizona veggies) and Europe (Spain, Italy tunnel farming) We chat about how these innovations are transforming weed control and farm management with AI, computer vision, and autonomous systems, the precision and efficiency of laser weeding, practical challenges addressed by autonomous tractors, and the significant ROI and yield improvements for farmers. This is a must-watch for anyone interested in the future of farming and sustainable agriculture. 00:00 Introduction to TechFirst and Carbon Robotics 01:10 The Science Behind Laser Weeding 05:46 Introducing Laser Weeder 2.0 06:39 Modular System and New Laser Technology 09:26 Manufacturing and Cost Efficiency 11:47 ROI and Benefits for Farmers 13:24 Laser Weeder Specifications 14:08 Performance and Efficiency 14:49 Introduction to AutoTractor 17:23 Challenges in Autonomous Farming 18:23 Remote Intervention and Starlink Integration 23:23 Future of Farming Technology 24:50 Health and Environmental Benefits 25:18 Conclusion and Farewell…

Can nuclear waste solve the energy crisis caused by AI data centers? Maybe. And maybe much more, including providing rare elements we need like rhodium, palladium, ruthenium, krypto-85, Americium-241, and more. Amazingly: - 96% of nuclear fuel’s energy is left after it's "used" - Recycling can reduce 10,000-year waste storage needs to just 300 years - Curio’s new process avoids toxic nitric acid and extracts valuable isotopes - 1 recycling plant could meet a third of America’s nuclear fuel needs - Nuclear recycling could enable AI, space travel, and medical breakthroughs In this episode of TechFirst, host John Koetsier talks with Ed McGinnis, CEO of Curio and former Acting Assistant Secretary for Nuclear Energy at the U.S. Department of Energy. McGinnis is on a mission to revolutionize how we think about nuclear waste, turning it into a powerful resource for energy, rare isotopes, and even precious metals like rhodium.

Microsoft just announced a massive quantum computer breakthrough that uses an entirely new state of matter. The new quantum computer uses topological superconductors to create stable qubits with low error rates. Topological superconductors enable stable qubits by utilizing Majorana zero modes to protect quantum information from decoherence. The result: Microsoft should have a fault-tolerant usable quantum computer this decade. As in, before 2030. In this TechFirst, we talk with Microsoft's head of quantum hardware, Chetan Nayak, who has been working on solving this problem for literally 19 years, and he talks us through the technology and what it means for quantum computer. He explains the methods to measure this new state non-destructively, the novel architecture that leverages it, and Microsoft's ambitious roadmap towards building a fault-tolerant quantum computer within this decade. The conversation delves into potential future applications, the integration of this technology into global data infrastructures, and the transformative possibilities it holds for various fields, including chemistry, materials science, and beyond. 00:00 Introduction to Fault Tolerant Quantum Computing 00:48 Understanding the New Phase of Matter: Topological Superconducto r02:10 Properties and Applications of Superconductors 03:11 Creating and Engineering Topological Superconductors 05:16 The Significance of Topological Superconductors for Qubits 09:54 Measuring Quantum States with Quantum Dots 13:03 Building and Testing Quantum Devices 19:43 Future Roadmap for Quantum Processors 19:53 Unveiling the Quantum Roadmap 20:34 DARPA Collaboration and Engineering Milestones 21:23 Fabrication and Demonstration of the Eight Qubit Processor 21:43 Accelerating Quantum Progress 23:22 Scaling Quantum Computers for Practical Applications 27:04 The Long Journey of Quantum Research at Microsoft 33:24 Future Prospects and Challenges in Quantum Computing 38:10 Quantum Computing's Role in Addressing Global Issues 42:32 Reflections on a 19-Year Journey…
