I've been to 37 countries over the last 5 years.

Here are my best 11 tips to enjoy your lifestyle while traveling the world:

#1 Don't work on travel days. Even if it's a 1-hour bus ride. Take the day to commute stress-free and get accustomed to your new town.

#2 Facebook groups are a great way to meet like-minded travelers, workers, and biz owners. One short post can lead to a coffee or a night out.
#3 Step away from city centers and popular tourist areas. Go where locals go. You'll have a more authentic experience & it's usually far more affordable.

#4 Try a solo trip. It can be scary, but you'll step out of your comfort zone and gain experiences you'll never forget.
#5 Cook at home. Learn a dish unique to your travel spot. You'll learn a new skill you can share with friends at home.

#6 Learn to outsource work so you can focus on work you actually like doing. You'll save time and devote energy to the biggest needle movers.
#7 Find a local gym. Exercise, because ofc. But visiting a local gym is a cool way to immerse yourself with locals and take breaks from the tourist spots.

#8 Join a Coworking Space to meet other traveling workers and make new friends in every in cities you travel to.
#9 Visit the nature spots. It's easy to get sucked into the city attractions. But visiting a local national park or hiking trail is a relaxing way to experience a country.

#10 Rest. No need to burn out from your travels. Take time to do nothing and focus on your own self-care.
#11 Slow Travel. 2-3 day trips can be draining and even a waste of time. Let yourself get used to your new spot and slowly enjoy everything the place has to offer.

I always suggest staying a full 1-3 weeks minimum. (unless you're just passing through, ofc)
...and there you have it!

How can we use language supervision to learn better visual representations for robotics?

Introducing Voltron: Language-Driven Representation Learning for Robotics!

Paper: https://t.co/gIsRPtSjKz

🧵👇(1 / 12)


Videos of humans performing everyday tasks (Something-Something-v2, Ego4D) offer a rich and diverse resource for learning representations for robotic manipulation.

Yet, an underused part of these datasets are the rich, natural language annotations accompanying each video. (2/12)

The Voltron framework offers a simple way to use language supervision to shape representation learning, building off of prior work in representations for robotics like MVP (
https://t.co/Pb0mk9hb4i) and R3M (https://t.co/o2Fkc3fP0e).

The secret is *balance* (3/12)

Starting with a masked autoencoder over frames from these video clips, make a choice:

1) Condition on language and improve our ability to reconstruct the scene.

2) Generate language given the visual representation and improve our ability to describe what's happening. (4/12)

By trading off *conditioning* and *generation* we show that we can learn 1) better representations than prior methods, and 2) explicitly shape the balance of low and high-level features captured.

Why is the ability to shape this balance important? (5/12)
