Back to developing CLI tools. This time, I made a file watcher for Python files, and wow, it was easier than I thought it would be and the result came out super clean! Pretty hyped to ship this one! :python:

I’m learning today how to use OpenAI’s whisper model and ffmpeg to convert videos to audio, then to transcribe it for a personal media library, which has brought a lot of challenges since I don’t work with python programs often! My computer is absolutely dying but when choosing the size of the model to use I didn’t want to settle for tiny :uw_devil:. I’m feeling like there should be a Mac app that does all of this for free and with customizable options for inexperienced users with the command line like myself, so maybe I’ll build one one day!

I ~wasted~spent my whole day making a mega UIL result table. It's not very good, but using Python to scrape the website and Tabulate/JS (the bane of my existence) to table it, I'm making progress. It's also surprisingly fast at filtering, given it's all JS. ipfs.karmanyaah.malhotra.cc/ipfs/QmRhU23SFgfP4ku4c3X4BK2rKkkduNf7tmFmND24srstPb

Day 5 🤒 Sick I had some trouble breathing at school and got home earlier. Thanks asthma! I'm now fine, but I didn't go to any of my activities today, and I won't tomorrow as well, so I will work on a few things! :netflix: Mr. Robot Watched the final episode. This is a masterpiece, go watch it. :duo: Swedish Duo wasn't mad for yesterday. I did my Swedish today, and he seemed ok. I think... 📨 Letter from HQ I got a letter from @Holly today, for a riddle! Can't wait to solve it with my Hack Club today! I just noticed that it was written on 3rd of February and it came today... Thanks Hellenic Post! :tw_spiral_calendar_pad: Tomorrow Boy, I have a lot to do for tomorrow! Gotta study some C, work on that Python project I haven't touched, update my website, do my Swedish, study Ancient Greek (WHYYYYY) and other school stuff. That's a lot 💀

Mohan Day 6-10 days update - github.com/hackclub/winter/blob/main/vmss2009.md Finally I made it. Now, RFID reader is detecting the RFID card presented to it. Then a python module running on RPI is constantly listening to RFID. Once RFID card is detected, the code is updated to a JSON file. This JSON file is hosted in local host. FlutterFlow platform gets this JSON by posting GET request to the local host URI. Then FlutterFlow validates from Firestore database and gets relevant data to be displayed and shows it on monitor. Things to improve. - Refresh rate is currently around 30 secs. This needs to be reduced to 5 to 10 secs. i.e the time it takes for the data to show up once RFID card is presented by user. - I should make the hardware cheaper by eliminating RPI if possible! vmss2009-winter-hardware-party

Day 10 of Winter Hardware Wonderland I started on Day 0 and now a final day! I completed my project. Moreover, I learned how to solder and a lot of other Python packages. I also setup my very first Raspberry Pi. It was a lot learning. I didn't have any update today but I would like to recap. My project is a pixel art frame with LEDs that can display image into led. It can also Display slope intercept form Show current playing Spotify Song cover Display the pixel art that is drawn on Pixel Art Editor. I have plans to add more functions too. However it was a lot fun!

3/10 of winter wonderland! don't have many screenshots to send, since today I was cleaning up the repo which will house the code used. as of writing, there's currently a small demo program, which is used to verify the bluetooth console, tft display and geiger module are working, along with libraries to interface with the geiger over i2c. you can find it here -> github.com/geschmit/microgeiger (additionally, crispy jpeg meme so scrappy doesn't delete my post)

Day 3 of Winter Hardware Wonderland :winter-hardware-wonderland:, building Project Oreo, a custom USB rubber ducky: I got some sick renders of the case (Inventor Ray Tracing). Hopefully the prototype print tomorrow is successful, then I can send it to @KaiZheng-U049N5Y0WM9 🤞 On the software side, I have the core code (capture the first 10 setup packets and make a python function to receive them). It just doesn't work 😦. TODO Debug

Laser Cutter, Day 2 | The frame has been assembled and XY motion is achieved. There are minor issues with the laser tube and the 3D prints. Tomorrow Doruk and I will do some troubleshooting and hopefully get this perhaps-way-too-hacky laser cutter to perform the basic set of actions which it is named after.

Day 3 of hardware wonderland: Setup hardware and tried using rpi-rgb-led-matrix library. Also created a Python script to display slope intercept form on the matrix panel.

Day 2 of Winter Wonderland #hardware-party :winter-hardware-wonderland:, building Project Oreo, a custom rubber ducky. On the software side, I got CircuitPython building in a Pure Nix Shell. Turns out, some Python libraries are built using flint instead of setup.py. Thankfully, there's a mode in Nix to handle that. I can now modify the code that ships with a UF2 by default, making deployment just a one-file-copy (very important when you have 20 of something). Next steps: Look at Micropython manifests to figure out how to include data/image files in the UF2. Track the received setup packets (host fingerprint), and make a function to transmit those to Python from C. On the Hardware side, my friend designed and 3d printed the first prototype of the case at school. It doesn't quite fit (see USB Port area), so needs a second prototype.

Day 8/10 of #10-days-in-public! Completed day 6 of AoC, it was much easier than I thought it'd be. Did a lot of work on my "copyright infringement detector" project, sketched a data model for storing perceptual hashes of our videos, hosted a redis instance on digital ocean and pushed all our data on it. Wrote a lot of python, and ffmpeg scripts for the project, kinda getting the hang of python now.

Day 1/10: Made it through chapter 1, and starting on chapter 2 of the Deep Learning with Python book. My goal is to understand some of the fundamental concepts of neural networks in the next 10 days. I wrote and trained my first neural network! (but I don’t understand the code at all). See hackclub.slack.com/archives/C01D7AHKMPF/p1669597204292789 if you want to join the learning group I’m putting together!

Working on a Python notebook to make transcribing audio files really easy. I’m adapting a notebook made by someone else to be easier to use, to export Markdown, and to run faster with cached models / pip packages. I previously made github.com/zachlatta/openai-whisper-speaker-identification and this is an attempt to improve the quality of the output (it would previously sometimes mix speakers up).

I modified a Python notebook that transcribes audio files using OpenAI’s Whisper model and breaks the text out by speaker to have clean Markdown output. It’s pretty cool! Give it a try: github.com/zachlatta/openai-whisper-speaker-identification Once you click “Open in Colab” go to Runtime > Run all and then upload an audio file. It will then transcribe the file and download a Markdown file with the transcript, with speakers broken out!

Day one of #10-days-in-public ! I got started on my first hacktoverfest PR! I spent too long fixing my different python installs since it seems like they all pull from different versions and make a mess! After that I worked on a PR for Pandas which I’m nearly done with; just a few bugs to fix!

Last night I hacked this together at @pranav’s hackwa hackathon in about 40 minutes: CharlieQuotes! It features python and rate limiting of the slack api and quotes and html in long python strings! (Shoutout to pranav for making such a fun event!). Source code is attached :charliepog:

Today was a good day! Well, it was alright to be frank. I got lots to share, so let's begin! I had some school stuff, which went decent. 1 test that I think I did good on, and somethign I don't think i ddi that well on. I got good progress on an assignment for another class to, so that's :yay: I took a new book out from the libary: Children of Blood and Bones. Couple pages in, my thoughts? 📖 It is a beatifually written book, and I cannot wait to read it more. Reviews are also good! I did some programming today 🧑‍💻 after a while (kind-of) I found this tutorital on for loops and data for :python: Python. I did most of it, and it's actually really intresting. I lik what you can do with for loops, I plan on finiishing this later this week. I'll ship it here, with my own data and ideas ( i got a few after I look another article on what I can do with this) You can check it out here; www.dataquest.io/blog/python-for-loop-tutorial

273 Projects! So many creative mini projects. Most just out of the console in Python, but the real struggle was being unique and interesting enough. Very proud to see my Memphis Hackclubers representing! Programing Pinapple, The Epics, Lone Shroom, and Flower trio where all making headway on pyrahacks.com/#/leaderboard. Flower trio was made up of entirely middle schoolers with limited programming knowledge so it was really fun to see them learn and grow during this event
