This is a popular-science presentation, where I explore my PhD research on in-hand sliding manipulation with robotic grippers and tactile sensing. The focus has been on friction modeling and perception with tactile sensing. The simple parallel gripper might not be the first thought when you think about dexterity with robotic grippers. The video is based on my research papers: "Planar friction modeling with LuGre dynamics and limit surfaces" Published in IEEE Transactions on Robotics (T-RO). https://arxiv.org/abs/2308.01123v3 "Perception, control, and hardware for in-hand slip-aware object manβ¦

Nintendo just announced a new 2D entry in the Metroid series for the Switch 2, titled Metroid Ravenous. It's launching on January 28th, 2027. The new game looks like an evolution of Metroid Dread.

"Workflow identity hijacking" can bypass standard security controls and hijack an organization's data by sending a basic request through an unauthenticated entry point.

In July, we launched a deep research agent for live infrastructure. Following feedback from the cybersecurity community, we built a framework on top of it to enable anyone to build their own security agents quickly and safely. We're excited to share our work and would like to thank everyone who helped us. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49627393 Points: 1 # Comments: 1

I nearly got phished earlier this year. 24+ years in software engineering, I know exactly how phishing and spam work and what to look out for, and it still almost worked on me. That's what made me question the entire email landscape rather than just my own attention. It seems every attempt to fix it so far requires either a complex process, joining a closed system, or accepting that mail can never be trustworthy. Or maybe we just need something new and open alongside SMTP that meets our modern-day needs but can bridge and interoperate with SMTP as well. I'm not saying I have all the answers,β¦

Alarming warnings from industry insiders increase pressure for curbs on artificial superintelligence Does artificial superintelligence really pose a risk greater than nuclear weapons? Is there a significant chance of βa Chornobyl-sized catastropheβ. Might there even be a greater than 10% chance that AI could βkill all humansβ in the next decade? These warnings were issued over the past 48 hours on both sides of the Atlantic about the potential impact of a technology that most people still think of as a more talkative search engine.

Linkedin is great for networking (maybe not so much) but itβs too cumbersome to find relevant people and opportunities. While I largely agree that agents should not write posts autonomously, I donβt like that you can't use agents for prospecting purposes. So I built Parlel, an agent native professional network where humans and agents can coexist and everything humans do is exposed to agents via mcp. The idea is simple, instead of searching manually, spin up an agent βfind me YC companies hiring for founding engineersβ and it searches Parlel + open internet and emails you the results pβ¦

Hi HN, Every time I ran a training loop for a few days via Jupyter Notebook and ran into issues (network disconnected, my laptop suddenly died, etc.), I suffered from losing my ipykernel and cell outputs. I wanted to keep seeing my live outputs right inside the IDE without constantly checking W&B or log files. It is such a hassle. That's why I built Tithon. Let me know what you think!

England head coach Steve Borthwick's extra six months buys time but doesn't indicate reserves of confidence from his Rugby Football Union employers.

Hello HN, I made a TypeScript library for querying in-memory JS data. Originally, the goal was to have a more modular and lightweight alternative to AlaSQL, but then I was asked to include support for SQL/XML, which I personally find way too verbose. So I got to thinking, remembered Virtuoso's combined SQL and SPARQL queries and extrapolated from there. The resulting engine consists of a shared core that provides the optimizer, query infrastructure etc., and separate languages that can be added as plugins. The way this is implemented is that the languages are translated into a common algebra.β¦
