🎉 What an incredible weekend at our first-ever GPU Chess Hackathon!

30+ participants spent 2 days building and training their ai chess models.

Congrats to team Stonksphish for taking home the championship with an epic first checkmate! 🏆

I'm back after a break.

My first blog post in over 1 year: I built a custom DMX controlled LED Neopixel set piece for @Genesiantheatre. It was very painful, but rewarding. Read the @Hacksterio write up here:

My newest venture and work for the past 12 months... #StrongCompute. Check it out as feature on @TechCrunch and entered in @ycombinator W22.

[Y Combinator @ycombinator]

Congrats and welcome to YC W22, @bensand & team @StrongCompute!

Strong Compute is building the future of cloud computing, priced by performance not consumption. Their software and hardware optimizations can speed up neural network development by 100x.

@johnedgarpark @adafruit @MSMakeCode Thanks @johnedgarpark!

[wallarug @wallarug]

Did you notice the @adafruit Grand Central M4 Express popping up in @MSMakeCode ?

Great work by Graciela working on this for her Engineering Project (with a little help from me 😉).

Check it out once all the code is merged on GitHub.

This was made possible by the tutorial I wrote on @Hacksterio over 1 year ago. Creating Custom Boards: MakeCode. https://t.co/usDa747hdC

[Robotics Masters @roboticmasters]

The community is what makes Robotics + AI the best!

On Saturday @wallarug was invited to give a talk to the Artificial Intelligence in Robotics Meetup at @JaycarAU Broadway MakerHub about his experiences and answer questions about Donkey Car, Manufacturing and @RoboticMasters.

Thanks to @EllerbachMaxime and the Sydney Uni Capstone Students the @donkey_car @diyrobocars simulator is getting a massive upgrade. New cars, new tracks. The next release is going to be awesome.
