You've obviously never used the AI image generators :) It takes me 2 minutes to generate a bunch of iterations of an AI image, masking out and replacing elements as I iterate of whatever might be undesired. The result is an image that

I agree with you on that a good integrator can get successful, but we should not forget here that the underlying code running all of this is in the order of hundreds of lines (see alpaca.cpp for example) in combination with a boatload of mo

Could you? Do you have to? Would someone pay you to implement an FPGA design, given that you know nothing about it but have access to GPT-4? In practice, I've found that the advantage it might give you quickly ebbs out. It surely helps

From a hacking perspective, DJI previously seemed to be pretty nice with SDKs etc allowing you to get the video feed, send controls to the drone etc. But from what I can see they stopped supporting this for most (commercial) drones from Mav
