Any pointers on some local VLMs to start with?

#1 reminds me of my favourite software quote:

"Show me your flowchart and conceal your tables, and I shall continue to be mystified. Show me your tables, and I won't usually need your flowchart; it'll be obvious." -- Fred Brooks

So what is your workflow now with this app for kids sports highlights?

You can buy an off the shelf cable for this.

Same here. I used to have Linux on my iPod and Xbox, MythTV running on a server and Fujitsu netbook. Now between the hockey rinks and soccer fields, I take out my iPad Pro for HN, light photo editing and Netflix if I’m lucky enough to find an hour of down time. There’s enough Linux, QNX, Windows, FreeRTOS, Azure, etc etc all day at work now.

You could try remi. It supports file uploads out of the box and is pretty simple to get up and running:

As someone who has this week been going through, in detail (is there any other way?), the American CCL and Canadian ECL, this is absolute gold. Thankfully the items in question are no longer on the USML…

I grew up with Calvin and Hobbes collections in the back seat of the car on family vacations. I was 14 when the strip ended so I had lots of historical material to go through at the book stores (!).

We have the anthology at home, I think it’s time to introduce the kids (6 & 9) to Watterson, although my son is already an expert at Calvinball without even knowing it.

What struck me reading this piece was thinking about how all the constraints that Watterson faced just don’t exist today, as he pointed out with his “click of the mouse” comment. Constraints can often lead to creative solutions, I wonder where Calvin and Hobbes would go in today’s landscape.

It is also on the Internet Archive.

Of course they do! Thanks for the link.

Thanks for this, I’ve wondered if AirPods data could help me track if I’m grinding my teeth, I’ll dig in now!

Might want to put a TEC on the server CPU!

I learned lots, worked with some great people, and even certified a thing or two!

Here’s a decent textbook that covers the software side in aerospace (DO-178):

You can read up on the system safety side in documents like ARP5754 and ARP4761 and hardware side in DO-254.

During the pandemic we ended up going the thinkpad route due to availability. We now have all our users on ThinkPads from admin to engineering, including CAD capable models for our Mech team. No complaints really.

If you aren’t currently, sounds like you are ready to use an ERP to track such things and link your BOMs to suppliers and purchasing.

You could probably get a BOM into something like Odoo over a weekend to test it out.

Ikea JÄRVFJÄLLET has been good for us.

Any interesting things I could do with my X-T2?

Keeping an eye on this in the aero, uh, space. Very interesting progress, keep up the good work.

Canada (Ottawa, ON): the only cash I deal with now is for the kids to learn about or for the odd farm stand. Most farm stands have gone to cashless as well.

Canada’s got the Interac system owned by the banks which has merchant fees lower than credit cards and also provides an electronic money transfer system (email or sms based) for the public.

They have an engine partnership with Kratos FTT

Same here. There’s great stuff for us to watch together, but the mindless stuff keeps getting thrown up over and over again.

It’s as accurate as the underlying models, from which you can select the one you’d like to see visualized.
