@AaravYadav7+#100-days-in-public day 5
unfortunately for some reason using a convolutional only network hasn't been working for the image compression idea that I had which is confusing to me so im going to try to use things from this video with sin and cosine values combined with convolution layers into make things
(the image that I was using was supposed to be the hacker image but it keeps returning weird blank images strangely)

@AaravYadav7+#100-days-in-public Day 3
I got the model I was working on to converge even faster at 29.972 seconds so about 8 seconds faster to 99%. I also have to idea of image compression that I want to try out tomorrow.
@Kieran2finaly finished the qr codes feature for the pixie scavanger hunt!
@msw0no april fools plans for me today, but getting back into drawing! Here are some designs I’ve made for @ky200617’s #bin project & a raccoon character I’ve been working on
@sahitid0:kitty-dance: 🌸 *days of service ship incoming:*:kitty-dance: 🌸
Blossom 🌸 was held in Atlanta, Georgia from March 15-16th.
working closely with the Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta :girl-scouts:, i had the privilege of organizing a day-long event that brought together a team of high school female mentors and dozens of eager girl scouts. beginner girl scouts embarked on exciting journeys - from crafting their own PCB :pcb: keychains that they later had manufactured through #onboard to delving into an introduction of javascript :js: to code drawings on #blot the drawing robot. every girl went home with a unique new hardware or software project that they 100% created themselves, but most importantly, the confidence needed to pursue coding further :blobheart:.
we also had a brilliant dinner (with ricotta balls :blobby-doughnut:) the night before with 28+ women in technology and STEM who guided us with their stories and experiences in their fields. all the high school mentors and i were fueled for the day ahead of us by the end of the night:half-salute:.
it was so motivating to see girls who had never touched code before leaving the event with the confidence that they had a place in the world of technology & finished projects that they could show off.

🥂 women in STEM dinner photos: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-WR0RY4SCYAOzAD3T-Z6aT0_DYBsNGgj?usp=sharingthank you to @MariannaLudensky@NilaRam@christina695 & the whole <!subteam^S06A2EGQ29M|@blossom-team> for the wonderful event we pulled off, hopefully inspiring many girls along with each other through the process.
@CassidyCodes0Today I Figured Out About HC's hackathon grant
@DillonB072Made a lot more progress on Celeste: Sprig Edition (all behind the scenes stuff really :( )!
Very happy with the dash detection system although the timings are going to need a lot of tweaking to make it feel better as there’s a fair bit of latency atm. Only upwards dashing is implemented properly now but gonna keep working on that and maybe get some animation in too 👀@Malycia0Created a flyer for finding volunteers! :)
@cupcakes7+Working on #thank-you-gwynne-shotwell website! :blobheart:
@EvanGan7+Day 39 of #100-days-in-public.
Today was day 2 of the FRC event I was at. My team ended up losing, but we won the impact award so we are headed to district championships.
I did not have a lot of free time today, but in my free time I made a spreadsheet to try to get an idea of how much it would cost to run a 70 person 48 hour hackathon idea I am considering pursuing. The answer I came to is that it would cost around $7,485 to run if the venue is free. The idea as you might gather from the cost's spreadsheet is to run a hackathon on an island in the Boston harbor.
@karmanyaahm0Received my hcb card and tbh this reeeealy does not seem safe
@JosiasAurel0Late update: We got halfway there balancing our drone yesterday. We didn’t get to record because the cables connected to our battery burnt due to a short circuit 🥲 so we’ll have to solder new ones.
@cupcakes7+i’ve been going down rabbit holes of amp, pre amp, and microphone tutorials and i finally found one that i think i can build and learn a lot from
@msw0since my last video about making PCBs, I’ve had a bunch of feedback about people who had trouble submitting PRs.
now there’s new video about submitting a PR in (almost) under a minute! www.youtube.com/watch?v=qL4d6AFx-9E, and it was made in under a day in #onboard-bts— check out the channel for the whole WIP thread
@phaedra0I built a student portal/site for my school! In the future, there may be AI and official district portal features thrown in as well, but at the moment it's primarily being used for my school's course selection since that's what's happening right now at school. I'm so happy to have finished building it! It's a project that I've been hoping to launch since my freshman year of high school but never had the coding expertise to execute, and now it's open-source and live for the 1,700+ students at my school to access! Using Next.js, React, and the magic of the Google Sheets API, I was able to sell the course catalog that my school has (and I now encourage you to check it out)! It's now available at mybla.vercel.app :D
It's been awkward walking around and seeing people compliment the project due to seeing my name in weekly announcements but I'm happy that it already has a happy user base even after being released for a short while.
@EvanGan7+Day 24 of #100-days-in-public.
As I predicted yesterday I had no time to work on my project today, as I was at the BSU FRC competition. Our robot worked pretty well and we only broke a little bit.
@EvanGan7+Day 22 of #100-days-in-public.
Today I continued on my react journey. It's blue! I started adding(basic) CSS to my page. My page now also takes in the input from the input box when the user presses enter or send. If they hold shift and press enter they can make a newline. I still have yet to figure out how to apply Wack Club Sans to the prompt box, but have been able to apply it everything else. Overall I made lots of progress today. Now I have the framework, all I have to do is add the AI!
@TheTridentGuy0Recreated the classic Chrome dino game for #sprig:
@toby0i found an old raspberry pi 4, and got tinyllama running locally on it with ollama!
@EvanGan7+Day 15 of #100-days-in-public.
Today I added a bit of CSS styling to my game. My original goal was to get two AI's talking together but was limited because of some odd safety features in chrome that prevent JS files from using importmap'ed library's. Tomorrow I plan on trying to switch over to react to a) learn more about it and b) avoid some of the issues I ran into today.
@toby0GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE! MERRY SUNDAY!! let me tell a bit of a story. it was yesterday afternoon, and @zoyashussain reminded me that the swift student challenge submission date was tomorrow (thank you zoya!!!!) so, i scrambled to make an app!
enter MOL!! mol is a mini app on your iphone and apple watch that lets you view the elements of the periodic table and all of their properties! 🧪 :table: 🧑💻
mol ios: github.com/tobyab/ssc24 📱
mol watchos (my favourite mol): github.com/tobyab/mol ⌚
(i'll combine the repos at some point)
it's not on the app store (yet!), since i don't have an apple developer account. but do clone the repos and run them on your devices if you wanna give it a whirl! pls enjoy!
thank you for reading!!! 💖
(p.s, i don't understand chemistry, so none of this made sense to me either :P)
@HenHen0Day 11 of #10-days-in-public, so far I’m the only person to post? Huh that’s weird. did some Duolingo and getting ready to code
@toonnongaeoy0Finally, #10-days-in-public has come to day 10, and I'm having problem on Wallpaper page, but I have come so far away now from beginning. So I think that's conclude our 10 days journey. But I will continue doing it on my channel (#toonnongaeoy-room) (if I have time cause I have a lot of things to do rn.)
@karmanyaahm0Why did the printer cross the road?...to go to the vexu tournament in Houston
@zrl0Day 8 of #10-days-in-public! I’m working on hackclub/wizard-orpheus for the workshop I’m going to give at Wonderland this weekend.
The concept of the library is that it allows people new to HTML to build fun games relatively easily using AI. I’m really excited about the concept - it came out of a discussion with @cwalker and @msw at #the-summit on how AI can be used to automate work, but also to make building certain kinds of projects a whole lot easier.
@Malycia0Day 2 in Boston! We hosted our Day of Service today (check out #boston-days-of-service for updates!) and I spent some time chatting with the one and only Jenisa Diaz :D
@HenHen0Day 8 of #10-days-in-public, computer broke have to use my phone from now on
Got hack star HCB set up and talked to my library about hosting. Also I’m starting to do some more Linux+ :)
@tejasbhartiya0Day 6 of #10-days-in-public! The big test is done now time to wait and see on results!
@toby0day 5 of #10-days-in-public!!! hey everyone! today i did some work on keeping adults outta the slack (sorry adults!), and i am currently sit with some candles lit, and feel v cozy. merry monday everyone! 🕯️ :10daysinpublic:
@leom0Day 5 of #10-days-in-public: Not much today, just did a bit of CAD and laid out some revised parts so they'll be ready for laser cutting. This will eventually be a camera/display mount!
