Which Mental Health Subjects are most important to you

Fill level sensor DIY? 💧

Built it with a camera and Python! 📸

Camera sees the bottle. YOLO detects it in real-time. HSV reads the liquid height by analyzing color.

Angle correction handles tilted bottles because conveyors never have perfectly upright containers.

Quite a cost-effective way of automating stuff.

To my knowledge this is the first VLMs purpose-built for civilian drone-view understanding (lmk if I'm wrong).

Is there any one interested in MEMS fabrication in Southern California or Hampton Roads area?

[Ian Miles Cheong @ianmiles]

A man who worked at SpaceX for 10 years moved to the US from Mexico in 2015 and took a welding contract at SpaceX for $28 an hour. He's now a supervisor.

He received $10,000 in stock plus payroll deductions to buy more, and he did exactly that. Despite achieving the American Dream, he says he isn't going to stop.

He's one of 4,400 SpaceX employees who became overnight millionaires with the IPO.

You are a taker, not a maker. All you’ve done your whole life is take from the makers of the world.

The zero-sum mindset you have is at the root of so much evil. Once you realize that civilization is not zero-sum and that it is about making far more than one consumes, then it becomes obvious that the path to prosperity for all is just let the makers make.

Regarding Tesla, the reality is that I have been given nothing.

However, if I lead Tesla to become the most valuable company in the world by far and it stays that way for 5 years, shareholders voted to award me 12% of what is built. Anyone who wants to come along for the ride can buy Tesla stock.

If Tesla “merely” becomes a $1.999 trillion dollar company, I get nothing. This is a great deal for shareholders, which is why they voted so overwhelmingly to approve this, for which I am immensely grateful.

And they did so by a margin far more than you won your political seat.

"The biggest myth about labor unions is that unions are for the workers. Unions are for unions, just as corporations are for corporations and politicians are for politicians."
