I'm working on so101-nexus, an open-source sim-to-real stack for the SO-100/SO-101 robot arms where you can record teleop demos, behavior-clone a policy, then fine-tune with RL. The goal is to be very compatible with Gymnasium, MuJoCo, and LeRobot.

It looks pretty akin to mathacademy.com, which is fantastic for brushing up on math concepts.

Interesting idea. Similarly, recent work appears to have used MCTS to explore sequential multi-agent systems (see https://arxiv.org/abs/2410.10762, https://arxiv.org/abs/2410.17238).

There are plenty of "newer" technologies that closely mimic more "boring" tech too. For example, Svelte feels a lot like writing vanilla HTML and JS, Supabase is all built entirely on PostGRES instead of a shiny, noSQL database.

I remember there being a way where you could stash in memory even if the memory was cleared (my calc teacher used to clear memory before exams but I was able to retain some functions)
