AI experiments, computer vision, and ESP32 Cardputer
Sirwan, Omid, and Saman discuss the fruit fly connectome, Jev, computer vision, ESP32 Cardputer, and learning through interactive simulations.
Participants: Sirwan, Omid, Saman
We caught up on life in Sweden and the UK, winter nights, the Northern Lights, and travel in Norway. We also shared personal experiences and reflected on cultural differences between countries.
AI and Computer Vision
We discussed the fruit fly connectome and experiments using biological neural wiring.
We revisited Jev for classification and probability-based decisions, and Sirwan shared an example of using it.
Saman showed a Label Studio experiment for annotating how goods are placed inside a box. This led to a discussion about training data and YOLO object detection.
ESP32 Cardputer and Side Projects
We talked about ESP32, Cardputer, and hardware side projects involving sensors, networking, and automation. Saman shared his hardware experience, and we discussed using AI to understand datasheets and unfamiliar systems.
Learning Through Simulations
Sirwan shared PGSim as an example of exploring PostgreSQL internals through interactive visualisations. A recurring theme was how AI and hands-on tools make unfamiliar fields easier to explore.
