Gradually working on a factory management system framework, built on top of django, to allow for the rapid conversion of a workflow (with measurements required, equipment used, SPC charts, etc.) into something that can be used on a factory floor.

#732Currently a one-man side project: https://laboratory.love Last year PlasticList discovered that 86% of food products they tested contain plastic chemicals—including 100% of baby food tested. The EU just lowered their "safe" BPA limit by 20,000x. Meanwhile, the FDA allows levels 100x higher than what Europe considers safe. This seemed like a solvable problem. Laboratory.love lets you crowdfund independent testing of s…
Love this! But I’m struggling to understand the results

Wow, great idea, simple website and hopefully a positive impact, not often you see all three in one project :) Good job!
I'm guessing it's limited to US products and US labs? Would love something similar in Europe and/or EU, but it isn't clear if you're limited to US/North America right now, would be nice if it was a bit clearer up front :)

#734Visualize massive aerial images on the web: https://rasterly.com
I started building Rasterly as a side-project to be able to dynamically visualize drone and satellite imagery of any size. You can calculate and view spectral indexes too!
The goal is to make it really easy for drone surveyors, conservationists, researchers, and so on to share aerial imagery without anyone needing to download anything.
No customers yet. Focusing on improving the performance of the tile server and preprocessing of images, and of course trying to connect with potential users! Struggling to transition into a salesman though.

#735Earlier quoted context omitted.
I pride myself on being pretty well organized with my digital life, especially files and folders. I’ve been using Hazel (God Knows, since it's beta). Recently, I realized it has become a muscle memory for me to name/rename files, and drop them where they belong while I'm working on or as it happens. This works for me now because I have a weekly routine of digital chores that picks up any slack and missing things that…
Thanks so much for your thoughtful comment and support, Brajeshwar — it really means a lot. You’re right, Fallinorg currently only supports Apple Silicon Macs. The main reason is that the M-series chips have neural engines and very high memory bandwidth, which makes the AI models run fast and efficiently. On Intel Macs the performance just isn’t the same, but I do want to explore ways to bring a great experience ther…
No Refunds. I’ll use it with a Silicon Mac.
Some of the key uses that I remember with Hazel were;
- Of course, cleaning the Trash, Downloads, and the “tmp” folder to either delete or mark as old for me to attend to during my digital chore sessions.
- Syncing a backup copy of all Work-Related Google Workspace, which is pre-converted to Open File Formats (I use InSync for this.)[1]
- Screenshots older than a set day to be archived into the Pictures Backup folder. They are yearly for now. So, I have almost all screenshots I ever took, since 2022, in their yearly folder (YYYY). Each year is less than 1GB, so I’m fine with the storage.

I love this! I keep telling my euro-friends that food and health regulation could potentially be enforced by the free market more effectively than by corruptible government, and this is a perfect example of this. I'd want to see all products I can buy in there, with all possible chemical, ingredients and nutrients, and clear indications of good/bad, a little bit like in Yuka. You should partner with them maybe even!
1. This doesn't seem to enforce anything
2. The "more free" market in the US seems to have produced worse food, based on what I am reading here
I guess the words "could" and "potentially" are doing quite a bit of heavy lifting here.
Either way, I agree it's a cool project! The transparency is needed, on both sides of the pond.

#737trying to build a webapp where i apply some recommender systems knowledge to TCG deckbuilding. MtG in particular is suffering from product fatigue and as someone who is both an MLE and a casual MtG player, it has been a fun challenge to apply my skills to a domain of interest
Neat! Any links?

#738A newsletter based platform that gives daily news briefings on countries using the local language news. Called Lexica News it’s working pretty well so far. Users are mostly international business execs, diplomats, etc.

#740I'm working on a system that helps surgeons make precise bone cuts during knee replacement surgery. Believe it or not, manual cuts are still the standard in that type of procedure. Robotic systems exist but they are very costly, big, and actually add time to the surgery (bad news when you are under anesthesia and your leg is in a tourniquet). It uses 4k stereoscopic capture and bunch of ML models to match bone positi…
So a Shaper Origin for bone cutting? Pretty neat!
