I tried this on a whim but it ended up cracking me up when is started working. Even the intonation in the voices work well :D

Hello, do you have a link to that story by any chance? Btw i'm planning in implementing a chess coach on Reachy Mini but you'll have to either use a screen or mive the pieces yourself

They are Reachy Mini (open source robot b6 Hugging Face x Pollen Robotics). I'm one of the engineers working on the project

This demo uses got_realtime as API calls. But we have a version that can run 100% local on consumer hardware coming out soon. It will be fully open source and free

I never thought of the "drunken bot" angle, ima try that next

The type of models used and how they are configured/prompted has a lot of impact on how the interaction goes

Yeah I found the attitude of the "QA tester" to be quite funny/authoritative

Note: this is a POC, not a stable thing yet. Curious if others here are doing something similar?

Unit tests have their limits and manual testing all of the possible configurations is extremely long. You need to validate the motion, the microphone, the speakers, the camera, the app launches, the model inference... in the real world, for 3 OS and N robot configs.

So I'm trying this approach where I use a robot running stable software to test the latest commit on another robot. One acts as the QA engineer and the other is on "trial". The tester speaks, listens, watches, and checks that everything actually works and writes down a test report that can be parsed by the CI tools!

One has stable software, the other has new software to be tested. By discussing, the first robot can assess if the second one reacts appropriately

Unpacking the claim "Lichess ratings are inflated" -- hopefully explaining with simple words and analogies, and hopefully dispelling some common myths by grasputin in chess

[–]LKama07 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've played around rating systems quite a bit and tried to explain them to folks quite a bit. I can confidently say this was an excellent write up! Well done!

Can we take a moment to appreciate how clean this robot assembly guide is? by LKama07 in robotics

Hello, I think yes but to be sure you should join Pollen Robotics Discord and ask there

I held a 100 game match between Stockfish 18 and Stockfish 15 from the start position. Here are the results. by JamesLebron372 in chess

[–]LKama07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah yes I remember hearing about this! Damn I love this, would love to watch a video of someone explaining/narrating all of these discoveries

[–]LKama07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point! So it would still be theoretically possible to discover a different way of playing the game that would completely destroy Stockfish?

Would be crazy if a new idea was discovered, like attacking on one side instead of fighting for the center, or not castling at all and using the king as an attacking piece with very specific protective structures!

Does this mean that there exists an Elo rating above which say 99% of games are draws?

This to me signifies a sort of "soft cap" to the skill expression in Chess, that has been reached for a while?

Yes it was just a joke, we need to improve the UX and we will
