Thanks for your answer!

Tailoring to these areas mainly come from my personal focus areas, but at the same time, in the last 2 years the code and model sharing from research (both, university and companies/corporates) has leaped ahead dramatically in terms of providing code, models and sometimes datasets.

GitHub is so far the main source, but usually models and data is linked from many different resources due to large file sizes. And running/testing the approaches and models is often still quite cumbersome due to different versions and so on. Probably shared Google Colab notebooks is currently the least "painful" way to test out the methods.

That's the motivation to ask around and see if there maybe some other formats/platforms that would make such sharing even easier, thus reduce the "engineering" overhead in testing and help researchers and developers to focus more on the research part advancing the field even further :)

Interesting idea, thanks! gonna think on how rfid or similar tagging can help to avoid adding complex CV algorithms where much easier alternatives could be offered. There are some robots moving around trolleys with items already there, so staff and patients are getting used to see machines sharing same corridors

Interesting idea. However, I believe doctor correction can be a very delicate matter as professionals are still not happy of machines pretending to "know better". However, we did discuss some surgeon assisting robots, like holding various tools or ultrasound scanner in place and adjusting for patient's body movements

Some more links explaining events around that time and how independence was reached, it wasn't an easy journey:

These are just a few reasons why Lithuania and Baltic states have huge support for Ukraine regarding current events!

How about hardware startups in Singapore?

Really cool app, thanks! I've been using it the whole day yesterday and performance was really good (did get few false positives though..). I was pleasantly surprised when it recognised next song gestures in really dark conditions, hand was mainly lit up just from the macbook screen itself.

It would be really cool to have a gesture for answering a Skype call (maybe even making a call, to pop up online contact list). Telephone hand gesture should do the trick.

Keep up the good work! I can see this going beyond the music control.

Hot Air Balloon tourism in Vilnius is gaining popularity due to relatively low price and the unique opportunity to fly over the city. Only two more cities in Europe allow Hot Air Balloon flights over the city - Helsinki and Stockholm. It’s a very rare occasion that flights are allowed over the the international airport, not only Europe, but probably anywhere in the world.

VNO approach Air Traffic Control (ATC) has special arrangements with balloon pilots allowing them to fly in one flock, they have to take off within 10 minute interval and all the communication is done with the leader of the group. Once the balloon is right over the airport territory, it has to ascent to 1km height in order to allow planes to go under, while in the close proximity it’s opposite, they go down allowing planes to fly over.

In general, such flights are possible only because of good relationship between Hot Air Balloon pilots and ATC who have full control of the situation, so it happens even when some planes approaching the airport. Every situation is handled individually.
