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.

Anthropic dropped a Prediction Market trading bot structure
$300-$1,500 a day
33 pages cheat sheet for building Claude skills, and 2 of them are hidden under a trading bot that trades at 68.4% win rate
if i had seen these documents earlier i would have saved myself a few months of analysis
@NeuralBricolage Is this also generated by AI, your recent work is really impressive than years before, I would even like to buy such a artwork, great job
This semester I wrote a book, Data Structures and Information Retrieval in Python.
It covers data structures and algorithms, organized around a motivating example: building a search engine.
It's all in Jupyter notebooks that run on Colab.
With quizzes!

China's Communist Party has just proposed amending their constitution to allow President Xi Jinping to serve indefinite terms.
Why won't I be surprised if President Trump refuses to criticize this move?
Because this is likely his dream as well.

With brain we can fly to sky, thinking about thousands years after now, throw back to the beginning of the time. But we still live on the ground for about 80 years less or more.
There is no true friend or fake friend. It's all your thoughts.
What very funny is, when I was little, I had a lot of friends and a good temper, and now I'm 22, all of this goes to the opposite. I'm mad and alone. Interesting, isn't it?
