Get ready for the next adventure in the saga of 12 Monkeys, with AI starts like Bruce Wills, Madeleine Stowe, Brad Pitt and Christopher Plummer, coming to a bio lab around you. The experience of a life time one you can't miss, it is in the air.

Congratulations!

Your timing could not have been better. Yesterday I was talking to a friend about starting a company to tap into the domestic solar inverter market that is about to have a healthy growth due to FCC banning foreign made inverters with radios.

We are planning to build it around STM32 or ESP32 with US parts sourcing and manufacturing.

We are in the project scoping phase. Hopefully we can get something going soon.

Lovely application process.

I saw a few one wheelers getting close to teeth shattering when the fell.

This is exactly how I did my last project of automating the generation of an interface library between a server that controls hardware and the mobile app.

The hardware control team delivers a spec as a document and spreadsheet. The mobile team was using that to code the interface library and validating their code against the server. I converted the document to TSV, sent some parts to Claude and have it write a parser for the TSV keeping all the nuances of human written spec. It took more than 150 iterations to get the parser to handle all edge cases and generate an intermediate output as JSON. Then Claude helped me write a code generator using some custom glue on top of Apollo to generate the code that is consumed by the mobile app.

This whole pipeline runs as part of Github actions and calls Claude only when our library validator fails. There is an md file which is sent to Claude on failure as part of the request to figure out what went wrong, propose a solution and create a PR. This is followed by a human review, rework and merge. Total credits consumed to get here < $350.

Two of my GP&E shifts got rained out. I had walk from Black Hole to 2&E one night with garbage bags over my shoes. The next time when they had to close the gate and all traffic over night, we had to come back in SxS with mud flying everywhere and in places it should not be. It was an experience, all good, still an experience to remember. The caked roads next morning were a sight :D

WOW! What a lovely way to explore the character map.

This is the way.

I am doing something similar where I have a parser which looks for changes in documentation, matches them with the GraphQL schema and generates code using Apollo. In a nutshell it is a code generator written using Claude to generate more code and on failure goes back to Claude to fix the generator and asks a human for review.

Yes, they are all linked using Drupal's AI modules. I have an OpenCV application that removes the old paper look, enhances the contrast and fixes the orientation of the images before they hit llama.cpp for OCR and translation.

I run llama.cpp with Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct-Q4_K_S.gguf with mmproj-F16.gguf for OCR and translation. I also run llama.cpp with Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B-GGUF for embeddings. Drupal 11 with ai_provider_ollama and custom provider ai_provider_llama (heavily derived from ai_provider_ollama) with PostreSQL and pgvector.

People on site scan the documents and upload them for archival. The directory monitor looks for new files in the archive directories and once a new file is available, it is uploaded to Drupal. Once a new content is created in Drupal, Drupal triggers the translation and embedding process through llama.cpp. Qwen3-VL-8B is also used for chat and RAG. Client is familiar with Drupal and CMS in general and wanted to stay in a similar environment. If you are starting new I would recommend looking at docling.

Daniel, your work is changing the world. More power to you.

I setup a pipeline for inference with OCR, full text search, embedding and summarization of land records dating back 1800s. All powered by the GGUF's you generate and llama.cpp. People are so excited that they can now search the records in multiple languages that a 1 minute wait to process the document seems nothing. Thank you!

Look up JOBS act (https://www.sec.gov/spotlight/jobs-act.shtml) With a strong business plan, this could be a viable and great starting point. Good luck!

Sad news indeed :(

How about Pi-KVM (https://pikvm.org/)? Secure, flexible and extendible.

wxWidgets is a wrapper over the native GUI toolkit. It allows you to write a OS independent GUI code and because it is a wrapper you get most of the benefits of native toolkit like dark mode.

Why is Microsoft not interested? Or they are and it has not been reported?

ARM should fit well with them, plus it would give them a way to enter the mobile space again, this time by owning the IP and not making hardware.

Absolutely, diff (Differential) based patch review is a great workflow for adding changes

Great write up. Thanks for posting this.

There’s rumor that due to a large number of people taking ML courses, there will be far more people with ML skills than ML jobs.

I hope this is true. There are so many areas where ML skills could be useful. The sad part would be that some industries would be changed forever. The animation industry for example might not even exist the way it is today.

The rear view camera system almost always runs independent of the main Head Unit (HU) or In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI). In most cases the rear view camera view is a single application specifically coded for the target micro processor (SuperH for example) and is the only thing running on that micro processor. The HU and the rear view camera share the display. While you are driving in R the HU is booting Linux or QNX and when you move to D the screen switches to the HU. The rear view camera application keeps running uninterrupted.

How I do it:

  1. Heat 14oz of milk for 2 minutes in a 700W microwave
  2. Add 4oz of cold milk to a container
  3. Add 2 spoons of Yogurt (I use Pavel's full cream) to the cold milk and mix
  4. Pour the hot milk in the container and stir it
  5. Put away in a place where the temperature won't fluctuate much and container won't be disturbed for next 12-18 hour. 
     I use an oven for this with no per-heating or temperature control.
