Everything you love about generative models — now powered by real physics!
Announcing the Genesis project — after a 24-month large-scale research collaboration involving over 20 research labs — a generative physics engine able to generate 4D dynamical worlds powered by a physics simulation platform designed for general-purpose robotics and physical AI applications.
Genesis's physics engine is developed in pure Python, while being 10-80x faster than existing GPU-accelerated stacks like Isaac Gym and MJX. It delivers a simulation speed ~430,000 faster than in real-time, and takes only 26 seconds to train a robotic locomotion policy transferrable to the real world on a single RTX4090 (see tutorial: genesis-world.readthedocs.io…).
The Genesis physics engine and simulation platform is fully open source at github.com/Genesis-Embodied-…. We'll gradually roll out access to our generative framework in the near future.
Genesis implements a unified simulation framework all from scratch, integrating a wide spectrum of state-of-the-art physics solvers, allowing simulation of the whole physical world in a virtual realm with the highest realism.
We aim to build a universal data engine that leverages an upper-level generative framework to autonomously create physical worlds, together with various modes of data, including environments, camera motions, robotic task proposals, reward functions, robot policies, character motions, fully interactive 3D scenes, open-world articulated assets, and more, aiming towards fully automated data generation for robotics, physical AI and other applications.

Have you ever got stuck in Vim? I'm not going to lie, that was my first experience with it.

GrapheneOS has increasingly close to 100% compatibility with Android apps thanks to our sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer and per-app exploit protection compatibility mode.

Some apps forbid non-Google-certified OS. Long-term this can be solved.

Android 13 is being released and GrapheneOS will be working on quickly porting to it from Android 12.1.
If you're a developer and interested in helping with porting to Android 13 join our public development channel #dev:grapheneos.org on Matrix. We could use more help.

built a quick app that uses gpt-3 to convert from English to RegEx so you don't have to waste time on stackoverflow: autoregex.xyz

Happy Friday everyone! 🥳
Here's a little JS joke to start your day (not mine, but it made me giggle!)

Exactly 32 years ago,
the Voyager 1 spacecraft looked back home from about 6 billion km (3.7 billion miles) away
In the vastness of space, among bands of sunlight reflected by the camera,
the Earth appears as a tiny dot

Dev tip: If you're using VSCode, you may want to switch to VSCodium - libre binaries built from the same source, but without MS branding/licensing and tracking/telemetry.
