Okay. So it looks like I don’t need to go to Delaware this October. There’s a stay in Elon Musk’s lawsuit against Twitter — which is meant to give the parties time to close the deal. If the deal doesn’t close, the court case is back on for November.

What a year this week has been! On October 4th, Musk filed a nice letter with the SEC saying that, actually, he did intend to do the Twitter deal, and he did intend to do it at $54.20 a share — just as long as the court proceedings stopped. Coincidentally I’m sure, Musk’s twice-delayed deposition was to take place October 6th.

“Yes, we also think Elon Musk should buy us for $54.20 a share in the deal he negotiated himself.”

Look, there are a lot of lawyers in my life, and I love you all dearly, but I know you are absolute psychopaths. (For instance, one of Musk’s firms, Quinn Emanuel, is known for its punishing hikes in exotic locationswhich sometimes require helicopter rescues.) So I’m a little skeptical this is going to work out.

Imagine you are Twitter and you receive this SEC letter. You put out a carefully worded statement to the effect of “yes, we also think Elon Musk should buy us for $54.20 a share in the deal he negotiated himself.” And then you tell Musk, “Okay, prove it’s for real this time.” Maybe that means you need to see some money move hands.

The Pixel Watch calorie bug is a reminder of why accuracy is overrated

Like many other first-gen devices, the Google Pixel Watch has a lot of quirks. So far, early users have reported that the watch dramatically overreported calorie burn due to a bug. According to Android Police, the Pixel Watch team is aware of the issue and suggests rebooting the device could fix the problem. That said, it’s an apt reminder that calorie burn isn’t a reliable metric.

In the Pixel Watch’s case, the bug appears to have impacted how a user’s basal metabolic rate was calculated. Basal metabolic rate, or BMR, is essentially the number of calories you burn every day simply existing. It’s calculated based on factors like your age, weight, sex, and height. If you put in the wrong data, you’re going to get the wrong calorie burn. According to Android PoliceFitbit’s software was starting off with incorrect user data, which was then fixed when the device was rebooted.

That’s annoying but it’s ultimately not that serious. That’s because you should never trust any wearable device to give you accurate calorie burn.

You should never trust any wearable device to give you accurate calorie burn

For starters, no two wearable makers use the same algorithm in determining how many calories you burn during exercise. They each use proprietary algorithms that consider factors like heart rate, accelerometer data, and your BMR. Different workouts will exercise different muscle groups, which will also impact calorie burn — hence why these devices have multiple sport profiles for tracking activity. For example,

Don’t Laugh Off the Tesla Bot. Elon Musk’s Optimus Is the Real Deal

When watching Tesla’s humanoid Optimus robot debut at AI Day 2022, it’s entirely fair to be skeptical about the company’s ultra-ambitious plans. The prototype robot’s shuffling gait paled to the exciting parkour and flips of Boston Dynamics’ Atlas, and Tesla has missed many deadlines bringing its fully self-driving technology to its cars.

But I was at the AI Day event, and I’m here to advise you not to dismiss Tesla’s sci-fi inspired vision.

The company revealed abundant evidence that it’s thinking deeply about a bipedal robot and the artificial intelligence technology needed to make it useful. And much of Tesla’s track record of genuine achievements in electric vehicle engineering and manufacturing apply to Optimus.

Non-Tesla experts in robotics and AI I spoke with at the event were impressed with Optimus, the code name for the Tesla Bot. And Tesla engineers had the kind of fire in their bellies that bodes well for progress, especially when backed by Chief Executive Elon Musk’s vision and Tesla’s resources.

“I haven’t worked this hard since grad school. But I love it,” said one senior chip designer working on Tesla’s Dojo technology for training the artificial intelligence systems behind Optimus’ ability to navigate rooms and Tesla’s FSD technology to steer cars. He wasn’t authorized to speak to the media.

Roku could be setting its sights on the smart home

The unannounced lineup reportedly consists of both white and color smart bulbs, a smart light strip, a smart plug, and indoor and outdoor internet-connected security cameras. Roku also appears to be planning to launch a dedicated Roku Smart Home channel, which will presumably let users control the devices from smart TVs and streaming boxes running the company’s operating system.

US ZatzNotFunny and several Reddit commenters have pointed out, Roku appears to be leaning on smart home company Wyze to actually manufacture this hardware before slapping Roku branding onto the boxes.

Although it’s best known for inexpensive streaming boxes, Roku has been expanding its hardware offerings in recent years with soundbars, speakers, and even a subwoofer. It’s also partnered with multiple TV manufacturers to ship televisions with its streaming platform built in. But historically Roku’s hardware has at least been tangentially related to television watching, usually by improving sound quality.

There’s no word on pricing or release dates for any of these products. But given a Redditor was able to snap a photo of an entire stack of retail boxes, we suspect an official announcement might not be too far away.
