Hello Delhi, I have got multiple submissions on the 10th and I am roaming around... I have a love-hate relationship with my school

#w-of-the-day day 159 Summer's approaching, that means its time for unnecessary but important school projects season :angry-duo: I have to complete a project for each subject of mine so I'm starting early

In May 2023, I have, for the first time, sponsored & organized a hackathon! 🎉 The event invited fellow students of all levels of mastery in computer science, and allowed participants at my school to form teams, make friends, innovate, win prizes, sharpen skills of all types (computer science, entrepreneurship, and beyond), and have a fun & memorable experience. 🎁 It was also a major personal goal for me that I am happy to have achieved before I graduate high school. :smiley-twemoji: :thumbsup-dino: Taking my past personal memories at hackathons I've attended, such as BetaNYC (March 2020) and Hack Club's Epoch Vermont (December 2022) :epoch: The 2-day-long McCown Hacks :mccownhacks: also made a great closing to the third year (2022-2023) of Gaynor McCown Hack Club :gaynormccown:, and an awesome milestone of my nearly complete high school career 🎓 , in which my passion for computer science was sparked! :gaynor-mccown-gradient: McCown Hacks website: McCownHacks.hackclub.com McCown Hacks 2023 (inaugural event/first year) website: 2023.McCownHacks.hackclub.com

Learning about diffusers with fast.ai has been really interesting. Today, I tested what I'd learned by hosting a mini-lecture with some of my peers that are part of our school's Hack Club, and began to dive deeper into U-Nets and Variational Autoencoders to understand how diffusion models work under the hood. We also continued work on our soundboard!

Continued working on the soundboard today with the rest of my comp sci 3 team: a project to assist non-verbal and semi-verbal students at my school express emotions by touching an emote that is connected to a speaker to describe how they are feeling. The design is coming out really pretty. Also, continued my work on the fast.ai part 2 course!

WHW day +6: after hours struggling with wifi connection, I have succeeded to get on hack club slack and make a post on the scrapbook. Here is what I did during my week without internet: • print time on serial monitor thanks to the RTC library that I've already install (i have also displayed them on my lcd screen but i forgot to take pictures) • read some books about C programming language to code my arduino better (don't have C++ books but it was the best I got without internet 🥲) this week I went finish my holidays to the mountains ... but I forgot to take my arduino 😭 no progress this week sorry if my project take a long time to get finished (I think i'll not be able to continue during school)

#w-of-the-day day 48 #hardware-party day 0100 i got called up to school to receive an award, that was fun but that took a whopping 8 hours so no progress today. besides, how on earth do i read this rst code? i might have to either a: rewrite the code in node and use trello's official library, or b: use the API directly which is going to be a lot of junk code oh well future me will figure it out

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.

I have written my basic FlyOS web console framework. But in China, school starts at 7AM and doesn't end until 10PM, so I don't have much time. However, I just need to work hard on the weekend and will finish my project quickly

:winter-hardware-wonderland: Winter Hardware Wonderland! :winter-hardware-wonderland: ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ IntelliBag | Day 1 The first day of making IntelliBag! (name due for change soon). Nearly all my parts arrived in a last minute Amazon order, which worked out perfectly. This project is intended to be a “smart backpack” with a bunch of cool new features everyday! And today, for day 1, I’m doing a dry run of all the USB-based “wiring” and electronics. I’m going to keep all the electronics hidden in a secret flap of the bag, with waterproof port covers that are easy to access from the outside. Plus, the extension cable will be conveniently located next to the laptop slot. Even when it’s not in the bag, this setup is super powerful! I’m using a USB power bank that’s connected to a powered USB hub - this way, I can power any device I want and even give pass-through charging to my laptop! And the power bank itself has passthrough charging, which means that if I plug any USB-C charger into the external port, it’ll start charging every device in the bag AND store some charge in the battery itself! But that’s not all! The power bank supports both input and output for that port, so I can get high-wattage output too! I’m so excited to see how this all turns out - it’s going to be amazing! Diagram Below!

❄️ WHW Day 1/10 It was storming this morning so I got the joy of rushing downstairs to start waterproofing! I had much panics. After that, I had school. When I got home, I spent time updating sensor accuracy and adding a status LED. All in all, I also got a lot of valuable weather data to work in making observations with! Tomorrow's Agenda • Start on real enclosure • Work on power sourcing • Deploy Video server • Join a Sprint 💨 Picture alt text: A picture of the night sky that finished off as clear. It looks like I won't need to worry about the waterproofing tomorrow!

Optimized my ✨ Java Snake Game 🐍 for a summative project! Originally, it was flickering and lagging really badly on the slow school computers. I rewrote the method used to paint the components, that removed the flickering. Correctly implemented Timers, which got rid of most of the lag. It should be able to run faster without problems now! It feels so much more smoother. I'm excited to #ship this when I'm done!

#w-of-the-day day 9 but not really cause SCHOOOOOOL!!! :blob_sad: not much happened cause, you know, SCHOOL did some extra work on winterlings and did some coding problems cause why not i'm gonna have to decide whether i'm taking part in #hardware-party or not, doesn't help since apparently my finals will begin at the same period of building the items :confuse:
