3D printed keyboard and stand

I want a really narrow keyboard stand and couldn’t find one, so I’ve been working on a design I can build all myself. To test it, I 3D printed a 20% scale model and it might be my favorite ever haha. AA battery for scale.

the problem with my last job being "microfiche scanner" is that linkedin has no idea what the fuck that means

it keeps suggesting jobs in grocery stores

Google colab with crab mode

Working on some image processing / machine learning for kelp forrest detect with the Seattle aquarium and discoverd that google colab has a crab mode, which seems quite apt for this situation.

I worked as a software eng. at spacex when this tech choice was made and wow was it hotly debated internally.

Is this the start of your youtube career @timonsku.zip ?

Robots dancing with humans

China is hosting the World Humanoid Robotics games this weekend. The opening ceremony is really something.

There are dozens of us meme

Ah so familiar…. been there myself and it’s just not fun

servo servo sommelier's servo survival

So many little robotics projects are plagued by terrible servos. Thinking of starting a little side project where I validate what servos are good haha. Could be called servo servo sommelier lol

Ah yeah been there and felt that. We’ll keep up the good work and if you ever need some help or someone to do any technical tasks let me know! Saw you speak at OSHWA this year and the project is great!

Nice. Are you working in an open-source repo anywhere? Is there a todo list or ways people can contribute / support your work?

Welcome to my robot window washing review ted talk lol.

I definitely feel like it could be designed better.

Maybe I need to retract my statement about it working well lol

This thing seems to always get stuck on the bottom and then there is no way to recover it haha. You just have to pull on the tether and do a harrowing catch lol.

What a bizarre device but it does seem to work.

Robot window vacuum packed away

For my project (Ribbit Network), we used to have a monorepo, but it got a bit unwieldy after a while, so we split into different ones for hardware, software, etc. Then I just link everyone to the org. main readme here which works pretty well. github.com/Ribbit-Network

They make these crazy window robots that are like roombas, but they grab onto the window with a vacuum motor and drive around shooting water and cleaning. Borrowing one from a friend to clean a bit window. Will share pics later haha.

I’m trying out a robotic window cleaner today and I’m unreasonably excited about it

"FLIF development has stopped since FLIF is superseded by FUIF and then again by JPEG XL, which is based on a combination of Pik and FUIF. "

^ A real sentence I just read in the docs of a github repo.

Omg I got to contribute software and drive a very fun robot at the aquarium today.

I'm going to assume not.

Doing more web software lately and like, do you think Nicki Minaj knows about supabase the database?

Engineering companies hate using the term quality, but love reliability.
