I wanted to see what went wrong, if this person was right or not, so I tried replicating the borders by drawing them on Google Maps. Andโ€ฆ. I arrived…

Reverse-engineering the vintage Intel 8087’s tangent algorithm: more than CORDIC

๐Ÿ”ฅ Explore this insightful post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: ๐Ÿ’ก **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: I hope you're not tired of the 8087, because I have another article about Intel's floating-point chip.1 In 1980, Intel introduced the 8087, making floating-point operations much faster in the IBM PC and other systems. In this article, I look at the algorithm behind the chip's tangent instruction. One popular approach for trigonometric functions is an algorithm called CORDIC. Another approach is a polynomial approximation. The 8087 combined the two to obtain both high accuracy and high performance. The 8087 provided an enormous speedup over…

A Humanoid That Explores, Remembers, and Acts on Its Own

๐Ÿ’ฅ Explore this awesome post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: ๐Ÿ’ก **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: HomeBody uses spatial targets to connect task reasoning to physical execution. The VLM selects a skill and its target from the current ego view, map context, gripper state, recalled observations and the previous result. It passes this selection through a structured tool call, leaving the skill to plan and execute the motion. The VLM therefore does not need to know the skillโ€™s low-level implementation.For picking, the call specifies an image point normalized to 0โ€“1000 and which hand to use. The point prompts segmentation [3], while…
