Day 3: I procrastinated on the neighborhood project again 😔 Yesterday was pretty packed tho. I did more research into Meshtastic nodes and decided to go with Femtofox! Their hardware looks solid, but sadly they’ve got this proprietary “Pro” edition that has extra features compared to the open-source one. Tbh I wouldn’t mind supporting them and paying for the hardware, but they’re out of stock 😭 The difference isn’t that huge though, so I’ll probably just roll with the free version and pay for PCB manufacturing myself. I also got an automatic water dispenser for my cat recently, and it’s really annoying. It allows only a maximum of one water refill every 6 hours (drains the old water and pumps in fresh), but the waste bin fills up in just 2 days... For something that’s supposed to be convenient, it’s kina not 💀 My first idea was to just manually power it on, press the “refresh” touch button, and turn it back off. But that defeats the entire point, it would honestly be faster to just dump out a normal water bowl and refill it by hand.. So I cracked the device open, soldered a wire to the capacitive pad that triggers the manual refill, and tested it by shorting to GND, and it worked! Now I just need to hook up a microcontroller to simulate that GND trigger, and maybe add a relay or transistor inline with the battery to control the whole thing automatically :-)

For the past few months I've been looking out for an idea rather than building an actual product, did a lot of market research on a couple of ideas and also going through validation process by reaching out to potential users. I finally made my mind with social media scheduling tool that simplifies content creator process. One of the issue among content creators is that having to handle multiple different accounts to post the same context, so the tool basically allows you to seamlessly integrate all your social media accounts into one platform so that you can simultaneously post across these different platforms. This will save you time by reducing the time friction of manually jumping between all your different social media channels to post content. What do you guys think? Open to ideas and feedback!

Day ? of #C045S4393CY|

. Today, I honestly didn't feel like coding after finishing the Chrome extension yesterday. So, after finding out that infill might get pushback started. I stopped procrastination and started with research (1 hour). Tomorrow, I will merge my progress to the site and start with cad

day 2 of #C045S4393CY|! i made a cat shaped case for my weather station (for asylum) even though im not super impressed by how it looks like right now :3 i worked on game assets for my juice / jungle game, worked on uploading those assets to my github repo and making some detailed storyline sketches (i know brainstorming doesn't count but these sketches will be in the game). i made sure to keep my tamagatchi alive and feed him (even though he's kinda ugly :/) i made some progress on my infill printer (with the toolhead design) and did some basic research on extrusion systems & hotends.

My bioinformatics model is finally training correctly! Earlier it was silently crashing due having insufficient memory, so I had to run it on an NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPU with 80 GB of HBM2e memory. It's honestly crazy how I first started training models on my local machine, then on a T4 in Google Colab, and now on a full High Performance Computing research cluster. For those curious, I integrated my code with Weights & Biases (wandb.ai), a very handy free tool for ML developers.

DEVELOPER DATING APP PROGRESS UPDATE #3 So, after a lot of thinking I have came up with how I will structure my database and user system. I will be using SQL for generical storage, along with Redis Clusters for Caching. For the caching, after much deliberation, research and planning, I have come to the conclusion that 3 Masters and 2 Slaves per master would be the best for the scalability of the app, while providing low network latency and optimal speed. There is not too much to say other then the systems where designed using the flowcharts attached, some messy, some good. I would say them with words. But here are the charts.

Hello everyone! I just finished building my Hostel Management website. You can check out the repository here: github.com/Arcade-scrapbook/Hostel. This was a long project, so I'll be sharing updates in multiple messages in the #C01504DCLVD| channel. I apologize in advance to the reviewers because the sessions are not in sequential order. I wasn't aware that only 50 sessions are displayed, so I couldn't select them in sequence. Also, just a heads-up: I'm not very experienced with JavaScript, so it took me some time to research, learn, and implement the necessary logic to make everything work correctly. Please consider this when reviewing my project. Additionally, I reused some CSS in parts of the website. If you come across a commit with a large block of CSS code, please note that it was copied from another stylesheet. Although I made some changes, not all lines were edited. For example, out of 400 lines, about 100 lines were modified. Thank you for your understanding!

Made a text generator with markov chains. This was created to test my hypothesis on how to improve repeated text generations from LLMs. I generated over 400 quotes each from my model and chatgpt 3.5 turbo. And created a website where people could rate the similarity of quotes. If enough people had voted, i might have finished my research, but alas!! some text generated by my model: > The mother was the sidewalk. Everyone clapped and the end, they decided to see my special trick?” The rabbit lived near a memory of playing, they found a shooting star twinkling. She would style it to the fields. The frog decided to watch the rat showed off their usual activities. A cat was sad because it flew over a tree. It was the cool water and a goat were so excited that was the most important thing of its mother encouraged it. The bear lived near a river together. The boy had a cow loved to catch it. In a forest. One day, she looked through the rocks. They decided they saw a tall grass, while the sun set, they thanked the same barn. The frog how far it as a branch above the same house. The dog would pretend to hop on a frog. Every morning, it as flying. A horse loved it was a leaf. The crab met by the frog. Every morning, the way they both realized that having a melody. One day, the rat showed off their special acorn. In the animals to chat and the mud. One day, the sun.

Its so close to being done but I'm losing my mind lol, this started out from other ideas while going through brilliant and trying to research for a go kart to build, all of it has lead to this sprig game. This was my first JS experience and I've learned a lot, overall I'm really excited to finish when I'm not going mad (and maybe get a sprig of my own 👀) Enjoy sprig.hackclub.com/share/ypUuS3XwSQ2FJI0Cr0Hj (resubmit for hakkun)

ive been working a machine learning model that can generate audio to varied success, but during this scrapbook session ive been able to really really increase the performance and accuracy of the model. ive changed the model architecture and stuff a lot so most of it is just notes for good things to keep in mind about the paper when I acutally write it lol, but I think this is a great place to wrap up the project though, because its generating audio very well and for now at least I think the project is almost completely done and ready to be seen! check out the source code for the improved model and paper rough ideas notes here: github.com/shuklabhay/deep-convolution-audio-generation

I've been working on creating a simple-ish java reinforcement learning library from scratch as a research project for some time now, here are some of the features (though there are more): • Custom environment creation • Network architecture design (incl. activation functions) ◦ Different layer types (Batch normalization, MLP layers, Convolutional layers) • Agent creation (only Double DQN at the moment though) • (Relatively) Efficient matrix multiplication incl. parallel processing • Adam optimizer • Progress tracking via numerous visualization tools github.com/AlanDoesCS/RL-Pathfinding

You guys probably thinks I'm crazy..., but you know how basically everybody starts their project without planning, well i got bored so I decided to follow the design cycle to make my product(which has 16 parts, with only 1 being creating the product), so here is my research: Github: github.com/pratyushV-l/onlyNews

Have you ever wanted to move to a new area but didn't know about the local conversions and didn't want to do the countless hours of research required to move? Birdhouse has got you covered. Whenever you want to move, just check out our handwritten budgets for each area, combined on a single website. Moreover, you can use AI for more personalized requests! (e.g private school, rural area, big hospital, big family. Background: This was our project for Kainos hacks, a 6 hour hackathon. We didn't finished it during, so I brought it back home to developed it into a full ship. I learnt openai API using js (hosting html with flask was too hard) and polished off my rusty html skills. I was the front end & backend developer for this project, and my two other teammates were focused on developing the blogs, art, and slide decks

[reposting because hakkun was down] I embarked on a LORA journey a failed miserably, but in process learnt so much about communication protocols like SPI and I2C on a ESP32. A few months ago I had a "vision" for using LORA for off-grid communication after receiving my inspiration from The Trail projects and the Helium Crypto Miner which also uses LORA. I took a look at LCSC and managed to find one of the cheapest LORA modules called the LLCC68 at the low end of 4$ USD per module which is cheap in comparison to the 10$ of more popular chips that do the same thing. I thought to myself, this was amazing, I can't wait to bring cheap LORA into the technology ecosystem and have everyone using it. Boy was I wrong. After receiving a pouch of the 10 LORA modules on a breadboard, I thought to plop it on a breadboard connect some wires and have it hooked up to the ESP32. But noooo, the module uses smaller and less common 1mm spacing for it's pins instead of the common 2.54mm, devastated as I was I designed a PCB to allow me to adapt it as seen in the photo. I got the PCB, soldered it to the module and using some test code to see if it could communicate it with, nothing. After hours of troubleshooting I realised I had flipped one of the pin headers on the PCB so the traces were incorrect, 🤦‍♂️ . I fixed the PCB, ordered another, it came and I tested it. The test code sort of worked and it recognised that something was there, so I went to find the actual code that would allow me to communicate with it. This is where majority of my time was spent sorting through code and changing parameters to make it work with my module. I looked at several Arduino libraries for a ESP32 and my specific LORA module, and I went with trying RadioLib and EByte_LoRa_E220_Series_Library. Immediately with both and other libraries, I had trouble communicating with the module once again, I had checked everything, the wires, solder joints and hardware I was using. After reading a lot of forum posts and threads online using the ESP32, it was the pinout. The ESP32 has 2 serial peripheral interfaces, VSPI and HSPI. VSPI being considered default and more commonly used. I just kind of assumed all these libraries would use VSPI unless they specified otherwise in their documentation. Looking through the library's code, I found a mention of HSPI and when I changed the pins to HSPI to reflect this, it worked, sort of. I had gotten a new error message (finally), invalid header: 0xffffffff , not much better than the last. The maintainer of the repo suggested I used a Logic Analyser to see if there were any issues with the module. There and then I bought and learned how to use a logic analyser and analysed the SPI pins for how they communicated. I found nothing useful with this but thought it was neat using the logic analyser. More research into using HSPI for the ESP32 turned up to be that when the MISO pin (pin 12) is set high, it changes something in the internal voltage regulator making it crash. I couldn't find a way around this other than changing a ton of code in that library for it to use VSPI instead. I gave up here, it's like trying to balance something without a centre of gravity to balance on. I feel this is absurd that something like this is so difficult to use. That's why the price was so slow eh? There are still many things I could try, different libraries, rewriting the SPI protocol, trying different microcontrollers, but I'm just not at that capacity right now to do that; which is why I am leaving it open to y'all. If you've read through my terrible no-good LORA journey, I will offer to ship you a LORA module and PCB free of charge assuming you're located in Canada for you to test yourself. Message me for details. Link to RadioLib Issue.

I embarked on a LORA journey a failed miserably, but in process learnt so much about communication protocols like SPI and I2C on a ESP32. A few months ago I had a "vision" for using LORA for off-grid communication after receiving my inspiration from The Trail projects and the Helium Crypto Miner which also uses LORA. I took a look at LCSC and managed to find one of the cheapest LORA modules called the LLCC68 at the low end of 4$ USD per module which is cheap in comparison to the 10$ of more popular chips that do the same thing. I thought to myself, this was amazing, I can't wait to bring cheap LORA into the technology ecosystem and have everyone using it. Boy was I wrong. After receiving a pouch of the 10 LORA modules on a breadboard, I thought to plop it on a breadboard connect some wires and have it hooked up to the ESP32. But noooo, the module uses smaller and less common 1mm spacing for it's pins instead of the common 2.54mm, devastated as I was I designed a PCB to allow me to adapt it as seen in the photo. I got the PCB, soldered it to the module and using some test code to see if it could communicate it with, nothing. After hours of troubleshooting I realised I had flipped one of the pin headers on the PCB so the traces were incorrect, 🤦‍♂️ . I fixed the PCB, ordered another, it came and I tested it. The test code sort of worked and it recognised that something was there, so I went to find the actual code that would allow me to communicate with it. This is where majority of my time was spent sorting through code and changing parameters to make it work with my module. I looked at several Arduino libraries for a ESP32 and my specific LORA module, and I went with trying RadioLib and EByte_LoRa_E220_Series_Library.

LinguAI is an online text optimization and essay writing assistance system. It helps people organize ideas and collaborate with AI to generate more ideas. It can also search for information online and compile what users want to research into a PDF within minutes. Additionally, it assists with format checking, automatic grading, and more! With LinguAI, users can take their articles and essays to the next level. This will be released in three to four phases because the overall design is quite extensive, and it cannot be released in increments of more than 25 hours at a time. Then I encountered some bugs. I am unable to see all my LinguAI sessions at once in the chosen session menu (maybe a bug?). I cannot select all my sessions at once, so I have to split them into more parts.
