Robot builds a robot's brain: AI generated drone command and control station hosted in the sky
- Web.
- PDF.
> Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) including large language models (LLMs) and hybrid reasoning models present an opportunity to reimagine how autonomous robots such as drones are designed, developed, and validated. Here, we demonstrate a fully AI-generated drone control system: with minimal human input, an artificial intelligence (AI) model authored all the code for a real-time, self-hosted drone command and control platform, which was deployed and demonstrated on a real drone in flight as well as a simulated virtual drone in the cloud. The system enables real-time mapping, flight telemetry, autonomous mission planning and execution, and safety protocolsall orchestrated through a web interface hosted directly on the drone itself. Not a single line of code was written by a human. We quantitatively benchmark system performance, code complexity, and development speed against prior, human-coded architectures, finding that AI-generated code can deliver functionally complete command-and-control stacks at orders-of-magnitude faster development cycles, though with identifiable current limitations related to specific model context window and reasoning depth. Our analysis uncovers the practical boundaries of AI-driven robot control code generation at current model scales, as well as emergent strengths and failure modes in AI-generated robotics code. This work sets a precedent for the autonomous creation of robot control systems and, more broadly, suggests a new paradigm for robotics engineeringone in which future robots may be largely co-designed, developed, and verified by artificial intelligence. In this initial work, a robot built a robot's brain.

Just got on first private tracker, want to start a seed
like this
Welcome to the private tracker community! It is a lovely place to be.
I personally am not a member of torrentleech but here is some advice to get you started!
1. Make use of the bonus points system
Typically most private trackers have some sort of economy in which permaseeding is rewarded with points. These points can then be used to buy upload credit to improve your ratio.
2. Download freeleech content
Often they also have freeleech content that does not count towards you download (thus preserving your ratio). Most trackers require you maintain a certain ratio. At first you can just manually search or download new freeleech content. Eventually, you may want to set up autobrr to automatically download new freeleech torrents. Other users have provided helpful links to get you started. Keep in mind as you explore other trackers some do not allow autobrr to be used.
3. Get connectable
The need for a VPN is not always as crucial as it is for public torrents. That being said, sometimes it is difficult to get connectable (forward ports) on your home network. Thus some users use a VPN such as AirVPN that allow port forwarding. You don't need to be connectable to seed, however you are unable to seed to other non-connectable users (thus decreasing your upload potential).
4. Avoid the forums and chat
This advice is often over said and most of the time the forums and chat are pretty decent. It comes from the odd power hungry moderator getting a bit too ban happy. However, what I will say is avoiding the chat and forums is not a terrible idea if you are not too familiar with the sites rules. Sometimes they are very specific and can get you if your not paying attention.
5. Upload content once you are familiar with the site
Once you feel comfortable with the above, uploading can really help your ratio. Make sure you follow all the rules of torrentleech if you are going to upload. Often private trackers have very strict and stringent rules. This is why I generally don't recommend uploading if you're new to the whole torrents scene.
Typically, the uploading process goes something like this. Create the .torrent file using qbittorrent or something similar. Make sure you mark the torrent as private in the creation tool and include your unique tracker url (you get this from the private tracker). Upload the .torrent file and actual file to your seedbox (or if you're just seeding from the computer begin seeding once you create the torrent). Sometimes you need to do a force recheck to get it seeding. Then you upload the torrent to the private tracker and add relevant metadata. Force re-announce the torrent on qbittorrent and it usually shows up. You will need to be connectable to upload.
You've already gotten a lot of really good advice, but I'll add what I did on TL to get >10 ratio in about a year, without really limiting what I download.
For movies, I focused on finding files >14 GB so they are freelech. For movies I really wanted in super high quality to enjoy, I chose torrents with fewer seeds. This both boosts my points gain and lets me upload more when someone else wants the same file.
My best ratio files are several 70+ GB 4k Remuxes.
For TV Shows, I downloaded complete seasons as they are always freelech, unless it was a show I really want to watch right away.
These days I just add it to Sonarr and let it rip.
It goes without saying that you keep seeding everything for as long as you can. I have several hundred, some people have thousands.
Make sure you start with freeleech content to build a small buffer so you don't get warnings that stress you out. It sucks frantically trying to get your ratio up before some timer ends and you get banned.
Feel free to ask if you need some more help, and enjoy TL. It's a really good site run by what seems to be very level headed people.

[Question] Why should I not open ports to the internet on my home router?
I'm in the process of setting up homelab stuff and i've been doing some reading. It seems the consensus is to put everything behind a reverse proxy and use a vpn or cloudflare tunnel.
I plan to use a VPN for accessing my internal network from outside and to protect less battle tested foss software. But I feel like if I cant open a port to the internet to host a webserver then the internet is no longer a free place and we're cooked.
So my question is, Can I expose webserver, SSH, WireGuard to the internet with reasonable safety? What precautions and common mistakes do I need to watchout for.
