Pray to Christ; then ask Mother Mary, the Angels, the Saints and the People in Heaven to Pray for You; and then Eat the Heart of Christ which is in the Unleavened Eucharist.
AI in robotics gets all the attention right now, but sometimes the most interesting work is very practical.
Viet built a small vision system that counts potatoes on a conveyor belt. No giant dataset. No huge model. Just a clear problem and a smart setup.
He used Ultralytics’ ObjectCounter, trained a tiny YOLO11 nano model, and because there was no potato dataset, he annotated a single frame with SAM 2 and trained from that. One frame. Still works across the whole video.
It is a good reminder that useful AI in industry often looks like this.
Focused. Lightweight. Solves a real task.
If you work in manufacturing or robotics, these small systems are usually the fastest wins. They save time, reduce errors, and do not need massive infrastructure.
Nice work, Viet.

Life cannot just be about one sad thing after another.
There must also be things that make us super excited and inspired about the future. This is one of things. Bigtime.
@robustus Code itself will go away in favor of just making the binary directly.
The next step after that is direct, real-time pixel generation by the neural net.
