For all my lifters:
computer vision app to measure back curvature during deadlift!
main technical highlights:
> RF-DETR (Roboflow) to segment the person (great performance out-the-box with no additional training!)
> YOLO11n (Ultralytics) for bounding box prediction around the barbell weight plate (trained on my own small dataset).
> Mediapipe (Google) for pose landmark detection to guide the bounds for the line fitting.
> Custom logic to fit a line across the back.
about the plots on the right side:
The Back Roundness Map shows the deviation of the estimated back curve from a line of best fit.

This thread makes a common fundamental error - it ignores demographics. The housing demand from a 30 day old is different than a 30 year old.
An unplanned surge in the adult population has a different impact than an unexpectedly high number of births.

PCBs made in America. Twice as fast as Shenzhen.
Today @CircuitHub is unveiling The Grid, our factory-scale robot in Massachusetts that builds circuit boards on demand.
No changeovers, no per-design setup. Prototypes and production batches, fully automated.

Turning complicated hardware into simple, fun lessons | ESP32 edition
Just like my Arduino app, this one shows you what the ESP32 can do, one circuit at a time.

Hardware looks scary until you break it down into small steps. So I built an app that takes you through Arduino one circuit at a time.

“The cost of cars, fur coats, housing, booze, travel goes up and who gets excited? Nobody, because they don’t buy these things every day. Potatoes go up a few cents and my God, everybody’s crying.”

"certified freak?" no, i remain uncertified because the freak certification board has undergone regulatory capture and now artificially limits supply to drive up freak wages

If the whole lobby heard your room number, your room is not private anymore.
One of the first things I’m teaching these girls about traveling is protecting information that does not need to be public.
Your room number should be given to you discreetly. If it gets announced where strangers can hear it, speak up and ask what your options are.
Not because we want girls scared of the world.
Because I want them aware enough to notice the little things that can keep them safer.
Privacy is part of safety.
