Deep Dives

I guess areas I have studied intensively...going deep rather than broadly to understand them.

Robotics & General-Purpose Humanoids

A technical deep dive into the software systems behind modern robotics tracing progress from classical kinematics through deep reinforcement learning, simulation, and the transformer-based architectures now powering the frontier. Covers perception (SLAM), motion planning, and all seven control breakthroughs including VLAs, action chunking, and cross-embodiment training. Closes with an analysis of the data bottleneck, competing strategies, and who is positioned to win the humanoid arms race.

Energy & Human Abundance

A systems-level deep dive into how energy works: from thermodynamics and first principles through to fossil fuels, renewables, nuclear, storage, grid distribution, and the geopolitics of energy independence. Traces the full arc from early human civilization to what an energy-abundant future looks like for humanity.
