Covid Party in my life: 1 friend and I self-isolate for 2 weeks so that we can hang out and yell at each other about socialism.

I really love the ideas you are suggesting here. I am trying to do something like this for a worker-owned business I want to start. It is a lot of work, but I think if it catches on the benefit for society would be tremendous.

weighted blankets are good in a pinch, but a significant other is definitely the gold standard when it comes to being weighed down.

For my su_chef project, I've been training a custom YOLOv3 model on Google Colab. It identifies apples, tomatoes and bell peppers.https://t.co/aUzakfOQl4 pic.twitter.com/a21zP0pWJt

I also packaged up the code into a tutorial with sample data to make it easier for the next person who needs it.https://t.co/TrNcaNtEyo

Congratulations to Pete Dahlberg and our team on CIASM: Correlative Imaging by Annotation with Single Molecules! Low T single-molecule localizations combined with cryo-ET fill the "chasm" between light and electrons... https://t.co/WsUxRiwOKm with presshttps://t.co/BfJ5Ah7W4G

You know you've found a machine learning project you love when you are willing to annotate your own data.

@Color is doing the best work in the country at making testing better. Just incredible stuff. https://t.co/LcYzVzuJs1

Here's a blog post describing how it works and where to get the source code. https://t.co/XaBVyDpRr1

Wow, yeah this would make a great segment for a Rube Goldberg. In fact, it would be a step where the preceding thing doesn't have to line up quite exactly because this one can correct for it!

I stitched together OpenCV YOLO object detection with an overhead webcam and an Arduino Braccio arm using ROS MoveIt's python interface.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you can turn an mp4 into a reasonably sized gif using:

ffmpeg -ss 7 -t 22 -i 20200721_143620.mp4 -vf "fps=5,scale=480:-1:flags=lanczos,split[s0][s1];[s0]palettegen[p];[s1][p]paletteuse" -loop 0 output.gif
(mostly just i need to hear this next time i need to make a gif)

To fly in this climate emergency is to deny this climate emergency. Updating outdated social norms is systems change.https://t.co/pPkq5QTtA1

With the increased demand for COVID-19 testing, we are actively working with @SF_DPH to expand site capacity. Our Embarcadero site, serving ~1.2k residents a day, is one of the highest capacity sites in CA, but more is needed. We are building new sites and increasing WoW by 25%.

Thank you, I realize in hindsight that I must have posted that because I was fishing for some positivity. π

And also thanks for introducing me to the term "Eternal September."
That was one of the best crystallizations of my experience on the internet that I've ever read. Especially that helpless feeling that there is nothing anyone can do to change anyone's mind.

That's fair. I just hadn't seen too many things like that so it jumped out. I apologize for the distraction.
— Will Stedden (@bonkerfield) July 16, 2020
no, definitely not saying anything like that. it could be that person is working there now for all I know. I guess the point was more like, I noticed that a clever person was working on a similar thing 3 years ago, but maybe wasn't an "ex-googler" so ¯\_(γ)_/¯.

Wow, this is a crazy coincidence. Just last weekend I stumbled on this student's project that looks a lot like that (from 3 years ago).https://t.co/U70YfIyKV1

I'm giving back to my houseplants. If you email me $100 in bullion I'll ... be very confused why you would think that made any sense to do.

But right now it almost feels more useful to remind me that the universe actually existed 6 years ago.

When it comes to COVID-19 test results, @sfchronicle says picking a test site in the Bay Area can be "the difference between waiting a day & two weeks for results.” Color processes >50% of tests in SF, with 89% of results released in less than 48 hours. https://t.co/yOst1qFt7R

To be perfectly honest, something like this almost happened right after my partner and I finished watching @SpiderVerse. She can see I'm holding back tears and she decides to say "but it was just a cartoon." ... https://t.co/nEvUW2769T
