Thanks to OSHPark for this lovely little board! Arrived today! I can already see I've made one mistake but thankfully, it's not critical.

We had a great chat with some new faces last week! Our next meetup will be on the 12th of February at 10am, on Google meet! https://bioml.org.uk/coffee

How I made an alternative Queen's Speech using #deepfake technology. SFW. Much lower budget than the one Channel 4 made but I had a lot of fun making it nevertheless. https://benjamin.computer/posts/2021-01-18-deepfake-queen.html

So I know Channel4
are #deepfake -ing the #QueensSpeech but they are late to the party! We did it last month! :D

A little example of mixing #python and #rust together to improve the #fish I need to make my #AI better! :D https://benjamin.computer/posts/2020-12-12-rust-python.html

Tried to improve my quadcopter stability by paying attention to cleanflight and setting things more correctly. First test? Quad immediately rolls on it's back and breaks a prop! 🤔😭

I've come to the conclusion that D&D is merely 'ok'. As a DM and a player, there are better RPGs out there. I think D&D is too beholden (hah!) to it's roots* to ever change for the better.
