Harimus blog is a personal blog at harimus.github.io about ai and science. Since 2024, 3 different Hacker News readers have linked it 6 times, most often “Common misconceptions about the complexity in robotics vs. AI (2024)”. No feed was found, so read it on the site itself.
Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
The blog covers AI, reinforcement learning and robotics. HN readers link a post comparing robotic motor tasks with LLM progress as a way to explain Moravec's paradox.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
Here I be posting my projects and half-baked thoughts

What Hacker News says?
While I agree to Karpathy and I also had a "wut? They call this RL? " reaction when RLHF was presented as an method of CHATGPT training, I'm a bit surprised by the insight he makes because this same method and insight have been gathered from "Learning from Human preference" [1] from none other than openAI, published in 2017. Sometimes judging a "good enough" policy is order of magnitudes more easier than formulating…

HN discussionYes, robotics is harder. Here’s some links. Wiki as an intro, and a reasonably entertaining write up that explains the concept in some depth, specifically comparing the issue to LLM progress as of 2024 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moravec%27s_paradox https://harimus.github.io/2024/05/31/motortask.html Edit: just to specifically address your argument, doing something evolution has optimized for hundreds of million…
