I was under the misunderstanding that Zed used Expert LSP for Elixir by default. With the RC coning out and my shit being terribly broken as it almost always has been I looked closer and found the settings.

Now my shit works again. Did tou know ctrl+click is pretty great? #elixirlang

Some text:
Firmware deltas

Firmware deltas provide smaller update payloads by only sending the differences between firmware versions.

Then an example of a firmware with a size of 10.55KB, noting a saving of 34.78MB.

Some text: Firmware deltas Firmware deltas provide smaller update payloads by only sending the differences between firmware versions. Then an example of a firmware with a size of 10.55KB, noting a saving of 34.78MB.

A firmware is never small enough.

But we're getting pretty close. We've been improving deltas to remove unnecessary resources when delivering firmware with NervesHub. Available on a NervesCloud near you.

GitHub - poeticoding/yolo_elixir: A library for object detection and seamless YOLO model integration in Elixir A library for object detection and seamless YOLO model integration in Elixir - poeticoding/yolo_elixir

So this particular setup is using YOLO through this library. github.com/poeticoding/...

It uses some Nx for pre-processing and post-processing but overall delegates to Ortex for ONNX.

I plan on using NxHailo and the AI Hat on the RPi as well later.

We've seen some really good sessions pop into the pile already for Goatmire Elixir. If you have a talk in your heart. Especially if it feels ridiculous, sing it to us:

Yeah, yolo model.

A version of it might end up useful in the product/project. What I'm doing is experimenting on top of the real stuff in ex_nvr.

there wasn't any fancy answer, just checking my work in an orderly fashion after some sleep. But I lifted a hilarious amount of frustrated stress off of myself. I am demo:ing it tomorrow for a bit. The workshop is end of month.

yesterday evening was kind of rough.. I'm setting this up to use it for some demos and workshops and I will need to run it on my Macbook, on a network setup I bring.

Ethernet did not work. IP cameras didn't show up. Issues were just piling up. Yesterday was defeat. Today I resolved all of it.

Alvise Susmel joined the battle later and we did resolve it. Some missing padding apparently made my proportions way more horse-like.

Disrupting the edge as usual.

Just a few tweaks and we'll be golden.

So glad to have this out. The new UI now covers the whole of NervesHub.

Now we use the full space of your display where it makes sense. Navigation is nicer. Lots more to improve but should be a good step up. And pinned devices is BACK.
