I write most of my code assuming that I do not read it for quite a while. If I would live in it everyday, I would probably prefer fewer comments and shorter variable names.
Also: How to run and update the project is what I seem to forget the easiest, so a section in the readme for that seems to be essential.

In early 2023 upcoming Chinese #MCU vendors appeared to cause notable disruption in the #embedded space. Now as the dust settles, we'll reflect on the viability of their market relevance:

These vendors promised more punch for the same price. But was it just a gimmick?

With perceived drawbacks such as: low reliability/yeild, questionable stock longevity, and fears of backdoor access (on a simple MCU??), I believe they do have their place.. But for high volume industries (with access to mainstream vendor's FAE programs) the cost attribute fades away.

They may fit into circumstances when:
- Cost is the #1 driver: Consumer electronics, toys, disposable IoT sensors, LED lighting
- Volume is low-to-mid: where FAE pricing support isn't available, for startups and mid-sized companies.

And ofcourse the #hobbyist who takes up a challenge just for the fun of it!

I have been tinkering with #AnimateDiff trying to get away from 32-frame movie to unlimited movie length using just home computer GPU.

It's doable. But getting transitions smooth between different shots is tough. But at least it's possible to retain the overall "concept" during the whole movie.

Below example is with stock #StableDiffusion 1.5 & motion module (no LoRA, no fine-tune) with just a static text prompt.

Practicing to edit short films with Kdenlive... A little hobby won't hurt XD

Ah, yes, because nothing screams "hobby" like lugging around a 1.5 kg #radiation meter to sniff out pebbles with a side of #ionizing #radiation. ⚛️💼 Who knew the secret to a fulfilling life was discovering just how irradiated your rock collection can get? 🔍🪨

🐢 Breaking news: Someone wrote a "high-performance" full-text search engine in Go! 🚀 Because clearly, Google needed another competitor, and the world was desperate for more search engines built from scratch by hobbyists. 🙄

@kd8bxp If you get a chance, please snap a picture of the projects table so we can see what people are working on. (Used to hold these monthly at work and had a lot of fun meeting new people and seeing what they were excited about building and sharing.) Thanks & 73
