That's the issue with Google, no specific user group is significant enough for Google to care

My biggest frustration with WebRTC was precisely captured in the article: even if you don't need p2p and your video source is the process on the same host with your browser, you have to dance around connection setup like you're on a different side of a planet

Making this case public should drop a shadow of doubt onto other Ukraine statements

Probably it would be wiser not to brag about this one

You do know, that you can create more than one table in SQLite and have references from one to another? Even recursive references work

I do not see direct statements that they will stop maintaining sources in open source.

We'll see :)

It looks like setting up a mirror and CI/CD on top of Github might work for some time. ghcr is free for public images

So, are they evil because they decided to stop sponsoring free network egress?

I tried to do brick sorting (because we have great detection and classification models at https://brickit.app/)

It turned out to be much more complex than I expected.

The biggest issue was grabbing. Typical approach for this type of task is to use vacuum suction actuator, but it does not work for Lego parts, because they have stubs and prevent suction from working.

Also there are issues of part separation.

We abandoned this idea, but I still hope that we can return and achieve something working some day.

Everything runs on device in tflite and it gives us some headaches, especially Android ecosystem.

We do not use anything fancy, detector is ssd-like, and classifier is either resnet or efficientnet depending on your device capability

The use case "let me reassemble all the parts that I have" is out of scope of Brickit app. It works explicitly with the contents of a single scan, that's why you see small ideas to build: it's just what fits into the parts you scanned.

But! We recognize the intent, and we have something in the works which will be released very soon, stay tuned!

This one actually works :)

Anoop, first of all: thanks for your efforts, we switched to Bruno from Postman and are quite happy!

And a question: can you share your plans about Vscode extension? It seems to be broken for a while, do you have plans/capacity to revive it?
