How did you learn PCB design? Any books or resources you can recommend? How long did it take you to learn?

Ask HN: How to use AI/ML to cut all dead time from table tennis video matches

reolbox — Mon, 26 Dec 2022 07:55:36 +0000

Hi all,

I am a table tennis player and I like to record my matches for learning purposes. The problem is I always have to manually cut away the boring stuff (pick up balls, time outs, towel breaks,...). Are there any open source libraries I could use to do this with AI/ML? What is the best way to start? I am an experienced web programmer looking to build this as a hobby. I tried to Google but haven't found a solid library yet. Thanks for your recommendations!

I am a software engineer and started making wooden table tennis blades. The only frustrating part is finding good woods, tools, ... In software you just need a computer and you can start being productive :-).

Here in Vietnam they also use it to cover their faces from the sun. Having a white skin is the beauty ideal.

For 22 years I used toilet paper until I traveled to South East Asia where every toilet has a seperate sprinkler. After a few toilet visits I decided to give it a GO. Man, toilet paper feels strange and plain stupid now. Water is way cheaper, doesn't hurt your "behind" and I feel cleaner afterwards. Paper seems an invention to sell something we really don't need (by Mad Men :-)).

Stack:

- Quiz Editor: Meteor - Realtime Play Engine: Vue and deepstream

Let me know what you think. Enjoy playing!

I wanted to play the game myself and with my family. So I quickly built a prototype and once I saw my family's enthusiasm I decided to throw it online. Just a lucky guess I think

I have built a quiz web app that enables people to play a popular Belgian TV format at home with their family and friends and with their own questions. Without any marketing, they came :). I am at 5000 active users and counting. People seem to love playing popular tv-shows at home.
