Instead of shopping for plane tickets, imagine if you put an order online and airlines had to bid on your ticket to see who can give you the best deal
I’m doing a deep dive on modern computer vision models this week, if anyone has any recommendations I’ll run them on the drone. First up is RF-DETR
Codebases that stop working after a few weeks of inactivity are disgusting. Why tf does gradle allow “+” dependencies (automatically pick the latest version)? Most ridiculous bug I’ve encountered - everything works one day and the next day it can’t even compile.
Nvidia DeepStream + YOLO + H265 through RTSP

Test flying our drones with the San Gabriel Mountains as a backdrop. It doesn’t get cooler than this

Prompt engineering still feels too heuristic-based rather than concrete and methodical. Anyone have resources on this? I’m looking for more analytic approaches to prompt engineering
I listened to a record player for the first time in years and it made me think about the analog world again. Is there any new tech with electronic analog computers? Turns out my 5 minutes of digging into this showed me that analog computer suffer from the same issues as quantum…
Any day now we’re gonna see a massive company get hacked because someone pushed some vibe coded slop to prod
there comes a time in every young engineer’s life when they have to come to terms with the fact that they will never be as influential as the guy who wrote C and UNIX (Dennis Ritchie RIP)
my top priority when building our drone infrastructure is to make my life easier in the future; it’s just a convenient byproduct that it’s also good for customers literally “docker pull object-detection” and then cars are highlighted on our android app. that’s my magic trick
