@WilsonErnst2 Are you interested in supporting Ukraine with your engineering skills? We could use more capable engineers like yourself who have worked with UAS. 🇺🇦

@VileerDeng @cemaxecuter @geerlingguy Awesome! How many RX inputs for the SDR? Would be cool if we could do some AoA stuff with it
English
Just received the first SMT PCB of the Raspberry Pi RTL-SDR/LoRa/GPS/RTC Hat from JLCPCB, and everything works like a charm. I even implemented the GPS PPS indicator as @geerlingguy suggested.
I can think of some fun use cases with it, like using an RTL-SDR to listen in on emergency broadcasts, converting the audio to text, and broadcasting it over LoRa to a public Meshtastic or Meshcore channel. If you have better ideas, drop a comment and let me know!
Maybe a perfect hat for the #DragonOs when using with Raspberry Pi. @DustinFinn @cemaxecuter

In the past 5 years, I've reviewed 1,000+ pitch decks from founders pitching VCs like:
· Sequoia
· a16z
· Y Combinator
· Accel
· Index Ventures
· Bessemer
· First Round Capital
· Lightspeed
· General Catalyst
· Tiger Global
And many more...
In the process, I've found dozens of patterns that separate the raises that close from the ones that stall for months.
So I built a visual playbook with all of them.
Comment “playbook” for free access.
It includes:
→ Understand the VC game (what VCs really want, where they invest)
→ Build your investor list (where to find relevant VCs, how to follow up)
→ Plan out your raise (SAFE vs equity, how much to raise)
→ Access investors (warm intros vs cold emails, how to get inbound leads)
Basically - everything you need to go from finding your first investor to closing your round.
For your angel round, pre-seed, seed, and Series A.
I wish I had this playbook the first time I raised.

@bruce_mcgonigal Nothing makes someone want to leave more than telling them that they can’t.

The Liberals are pitching the idea of charging Canadian youth $500K if they want to leave Canada to move to the USA. 🙃
Holding Canadian youth hostage is not what a democratic society does.

Liberals love this 🤦🏻♂️

@ZackKorman Yeah the odds are low. Just like the odds of founding a unicorn startup are low. YC is just setting the bar for the types of teams that are the most likely to become unicorns. The onus is on the founders to… you know… not commit fraud
English
YC knows saying this will lead to fraud. They just don’t care.

🇨🇦 founders go to US for capital.
🇨🇦 capital goes to US for returns.
The solution to each is right here at home.
We must break the cycle. 🇨🇦💪🚀

@Arthur_NC_ Yup.
You still building on Canadian soil? We started a group of staunch Canadian builders to push the needle back. Need more hardware/defence guys in there.

We are consistently adapting and innovating our procedures to the realities of war.
Among the many ongoing innovations of Ukraine's Armed Forces are efforts to strengthen the protection of Ukraine’s skies and simplify aircraft upgrades to counter Shahed drones.
The government has adopted a decision that will allow aircraft and helicopters to be retrofitted more quickly for the needs of modern warfare. Weapons, communications systems, navigation equipment, and target detection systems can now be installed without lengthy approval procedures.
The entire process will now be reduced to one month. The work will involve not only enterprises, but also specialists and military units.
This will make it possible to respond faster to new threats and strengthen our military’s ability to repel aerial attacks.

@hell_line0 Did you bother to check whether the death rate is a significant deviation from the average population

I turned down 2 government jobs because my dad told me to do some specific research and when I did, I learned that in 60 months 72 federally employed (NASA) scientists died of unnatural causes. Ex: house fires, car accident, heart attack at 30, freak accidents, drowning, falling, plant crashes etc..
My dad saved my life fr!!!

@Arthur_NC_ It’s being pushed through, it will happen soon. We had a rush of applicants, you're at the head of the list.

We at Defense Tech for Ukraine have learned that a surprising amount of effort goes into producing even a basic newsletter (especially agreeing upon the content!)
So, please have a look!
Defense Tech for Ukraine@defensetech4Ukr
We are proud to announce the Defense Tech for Ukraine Newsletter! This newsletter, available on our Substack, will highlight what we've done, battlefield analysis, and opportunities for volunteers. We are excited to use this newsletter to better support Ukraine and its defense ecosystem going forward. We highly encourage you to read this and learn more about what DTU has been doing. defensetechforukraine.substack.com/p/empowering-u…

i’m working on geo rf-detr
this time i fine-tuned rf-detr on neontreeevaluation dataset; it gives you insight into forest health, tree counts, and land changes without manual field surveys
what other aerial / drone use cases should i try next?
SkalskiP@skalskip92
RF-DETR + Trackers is such a strong open-source combo I fine-tuned RF-DETR on the VisDrone dataset, plugged in the OC-SORT tracker now I’m going to build some cool smart city demos link: github.com/roboflow/track…
