“Don’t rely on motivation, rely on discipline” - Vikram (a climber friend)
Vikram is an adventurous climber friend who recently wrote the above note in a blog about his experience climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro (Tanzania).
You see what he was trying to say is that... when you are eventually faced with the tough task you had been preparing for you had better rely on discipline than on motivation. Motivation can break, but a routine discipline that you had diligently followed... is far more likely to help you excel at that task. Discuss with a big person.Meet K-Scale Labs: Garage Robotics
All of 3 months old, and building a Humanoid robot in their garage… yes in their home garage… are K-Scale Labs. Funded by Ycombinator (remember them?), they want to see a billion of these helping about. Thats not all.. what makes them special is that they are 3D printed, and cost just $8,000 to make 🤯🤯🤯. And of course they leverage AI and are building their own AI model that will be embeded in the robot.
Watch this video for a short story on them and get to know about their tech stack. Checkout the tiny, kinda cute, robot below 🤖👇.
Wait, what is..
Funded: Remember Raise from last week? Well once a company has raised money from investors, you can say they are now “funded” 💸.
Tech Stack 😵💫: the technologies one is using to build their product.
