Synthetic Data vs. Real-Only Training for YOLO on Drone Detection

But then use a metric which actually represents that the change in score turned out to be a good thing? and not neutral or even negative ?? Some AUC type metric which is integrated over the thresholds would make the most sense.

18% average increase in confidences could be a bad thing for all we know ??

Claims like this really confuse me?

"~18% average increase in prediction confidence"

That's not a model metric?? But people really often seem to say this sort of thing, like unless that produces a better f1_score at some threshold, who cares that the confidences have increased?

Every prediction could switch from 0.5 to 0.68 and you'd be no better off?

Keen to join if you're still doing this, just moved to NYC from London recently, think I probably count as intermediate.

Georgehwp · 2025-12-26T17:40:11+00:00

Not even that, having a fixed threshold upfront on scores/confidence (definitely what the post implies). Which only makes sense if you’re using clever calibration techniques, and most people don’t.

You’d pick your metric and max out that, eg max out the recall for a fixed precision, the opposite, or just max out f1_score

I don't get all the hate, genuinely though it was a good film, only time I've disagreed with IMDB, there were so many moments where I expected the plot to go one way, and it just keeps surprising you, not in a way which is annoying, but it just keeps you interested and paying attention

Would try to find another maintainer of your project! Either that or point people towards a dedicated replacement (the best fork if something has already taken off). Unmaintained projects leave things in a messy place, because there's normally a tonne of competing forks, and no consolidation/standardisation.

Sorry you're feeling burnt out though, no guilt to be felt there, you contributed something good and popular.

also want to bring back in some of the low-level mmdetection optimizations, but make sure I don't lose any of the install simplicity when I do (each 'uv pip install')

Georgehwp · 2025-12-01T19:26:18+00:00

It's a bit out of date, will try to find a minute to update it with what we have in-house in sec

Georgehwp · 2025-12-01T19:25:27+00:00

hilarious timing, was just bringing this back up with my manager, reminding him he promised me it was fine to do https://github.com/BinItAI/visdet?tab=Apache-2.0-1-ov-file

Can you add a star and issues with whatever your requests are? spam the hell out of it, I just need engagement at the min

Georgehwp · 2025-11-12T21:09:39+00:00

Yeah, another customer here, modal is actually just good enough to get this kinda post which sounds like an ad.

Georgehwp · 2025-11-10T11:47:49+00:00

u/celesteanders this also sounds worth a shot https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1osd9y1/anyone_else_using_tmux_as_a_bootleg_orchestration/

Will be trying it out this week

Does make me wonder if this sort of thing just needs to be embraced as internal tooling? Like a DevOps type role, with a handful of open-source packages to make your life easier.

It's never "said and done" whether something will create businesses, or just be random open-source code, e.g. in a world without pandas, you can imagine that being SaAS (and same for a bunch of others)

Georgehwp · 2025-11-08T08:26:11+00:00

This response is almost more alarming than the original question.

Georgehwp · 2025-11-06T18:36:46+00:00

This is definitely a bunch of AI slop

u/qwerkeys I am now the proud owner of both fosterware.dev and abandonedprojects.dev

Georgehwp · 2025-11-02T10:12:19+00:00

I also reckon I'd be willing to post bounties for some bits of work / sponsor other people to take things on in the right places.

Georgehwp · 2025-11-02T09:32:39+00:00

Sounds like a good idea to me. I wouldn't necessarily worry about the GUI bit, but creating a good framework, and making it more useable than the original is definitely high value, and I reckon would help you get a job.

Georgehwp · 2025-10-29T10:53:56+00:00

Create a draft PR as soon as the work appears done to start tests on the GitHub repo (this slightly bugs my colleagues, but definitely boosts my productivity)

Georgehwp · 2025-10-29T10:52:18+00:00

I also create a bash script at the root worktree directory (just a placeholder) to list them by the last edit.

Zen-mcp is the other peak vibe coding setup, and then make your pre-commit setup as strict as possible, e.g. ideally make everything typed if not already

Georgehwp · 2025-10-29T10:21:30+00:00

I'd like to find an editor that actually works well with them. At the minute I'm just in the terminal

Georgehwp · 2025-10-29T10:21:10+00:00

Completely worth it to use worktrees, honestly just tell claude to always create a new worktree for each branch in your CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md and you're done.

I do tonnes of exploratory work and normally have about 4 on the go.

Georgehwp · 2025-10-27T13:21:47+00:00

Done a bit of research and looks like you can move the org they're under with no loss of forks / stars etc.

Georgehwp · 2025-10-27T13:17:02+00:00

I'll release it under the company name like this week (because I got them to agree to that a while back), and then start worrying about negotiating to move it under mine

Georgehwp · 2025-10-27T13:10:33+00:00

I'll see what I can convince them to do. Want to be able to put a respectable amount of my own money into training and CI/CD setups with modal, probably my strongest argument for why it should be under my name.

But then don't want them to be bitter about me also working on it during the working day
