About SequoiaHope

Hi I’m Sequoia! (she/her)

I make robots mostly. I want to figure out how robots can help solve social problems. Read my writing or see my portfolio at tlalexander.com and see my robots at http://reboot.love

My cool robot arm: https://twitter.com/TLAlexander/status/1455320442642714625

See my farming robotics work here: https://community.twistedfields.com/t/a-closer-look-at-acorn-our-open-source-precision-farming-rover/108

And:

You are welcome to email me but usually I don’t end up responding to out of the blue emails (due to procrastination or disorganization). [tlalexander at gmail]

    Well running from QSPI flash (even the internal memory versions use SPI internally) so any inference would be very slow streaming from that compared to RAM. The featured article sa…

    Thank you for sharing. MCC is nice when it works. I’ve also found that running the original Halo in Xemu emulator makes for an extremely lightweight, fast, and performant experienc…

    To me the surprising thing is how much sugar people are willing to drink, but I think the same thing when my friend drinks Coca Cola.

    Oh wow the concept of Vitamins, which I learned about from the Reprap Project, must have come from that 1980 NASA study! https://reprap.org/wiki/Category:Vitamin

    I had to look it up. Apparently maize did not get to Egypt till around the year 1600 but in British English the word “corn” refers to any local grain. Eg these “Corn laws” refer to…

    Basically. Moreover though it’s cloud based so you can’t run it with a poor connection or no connection. They could change their mind at any time about free accounts and lock users…

    Thanks! I had a lot of false starts too. I asked fable in my repo about your question and it said there are two schools of thought on tolerance tracking. My kernel uses exact predi…

    Six months. Basically when Claude code started to hit that inflection point I chose a project that seemed potentially impossible but was also something I care deeply about. (I have…

    The app consists of a wasm (web assembly) binary and JavaScript. The wasm runs locally on your machine in your browser and communicates with the JavaScript frontend. There is no ba…

    Browser can be local. What’s nice about browser based is that browser based programs can run on every device. Though it sounds like this one requires chrome which seems weird to me…

    Agreed. I’m not OP but for six months I’ve been using Claude to build a from-scratch CAD kernel based on Rust and WASM, MIT licensed. The actual UI still needs a lot of work, but I…

    Not all of us live in places with EU funding. I worked at a rural farm in California and the EU refused to fund our network infrastructure. We had few reliable options, and Starlin…

    I hear you, though I will point out that OP said “projects”. Could be a house remodel, ebike build, any manner of project.

    Seems a bit knee jerk. I go on walks and bike rides all the time. A couple of times I’ve used voice mode and it’s been interesting. I could have listened to music or a podcast, lis…

    I think there is some middle category between “required for survival” and “luxury”.

    Do they also show bikes? I use the mirror not just to monitor cars but see where my friends are. If a friend breaks down and is on the side of the road I want to see without having…
