A million hours of what? If we’re scaling human demonstrations for robot learning, what should each hour contain? We built S1, our skill capture glove, alongside our robot hand to record joint movements that map to robot targets, with touch and video on the same timeline.

What this launch shows

The post went out from an account with 3K followers. It was seen 20.2 times over. For under 5K followers the usual multiple is 152.2, so the ranking model showed this to fewer strangers than it shows most launches.

It ranks 542 of 743 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it is below the median of 603K views, at rank 1941 of 2314.

Reposts led, 68 at 13 per 10,000 views against a median of 2.6.

A repost is an endorsement without a comment, and a launch with an unusual repost rate was being passed along on purpose. Bookmarks: 137. Replies: 41.

It starts “A million hours of what”. It carries a 1:56 video against a directory median of 66 seconds.

Videos over 90 seconds have a median of 590K views in the directory. The copy runs 47 words, about the usual length for a launch post here, where the median is 41.

There is a link in the body, which costs a post some reach and buys it a place to send people. It went out on a Wednesday. Launches posted on a Wednesday have a median of 622K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 647K.

Launching a product on X from a small account covers this: an account with 3K followers has to earn every view from outside its own following. For the next one, read attributing signups to a launch: a save rate this high is the number to follow into the product.

Giving people something to reply to is the guide for it: the conversation is what carried this one. Every launch we track in Robotics is on that vertical's directory page.
