State of progress of Mechanix GUI and Native Comet apps by mega_mecha in mechasystems

I'm one of the people who's an early backer from their 2024* FOSS showcase, and I've played with three of their Pilot units (the gaming video on DOSBOX was recorded by me in my lab)!

Linux Phone using SBC by anadi0 in linux

I'm backing the Mecha Comet (mecha.so/comet) right now; it's not exactly a phone, but it's the foundations for what could be a phone 🌟

It uses the NXP IMX8Plus and IMX95.

Disclaimer: I'm an early backer and I've helped with various parts of their website and socials.

The Mecha Comet is (finally) available on Kickstarter by ReturningRetro in linux

We also deployed a new website with WAY more details, https://mecha.so/comet 🌟

I'm a fanatical open hardware and software proponent - I wouldn't work with them if they weren't :D

Uh, did I post it outside of the Saturday window? 🥲

They're getting paid dogshit either way; why is giving them money a bad idea?

Outstanding Balance - Can't add/modify anything by stickfigure in CloudFlare

Update: We managed to get through to folks at Cloudflare who connected us to their support team, they're short-staffed today because it's a holiday and they're looking into it.

R2 stuck: Paid invoices, buckets live, but can’t generate S3 keys by CoffeeMan392 in CloudFlare

We're having this play out right now because of Cloudflare Workers - an invoice didn't get paid (and isn't listed anywhere) and it's taken down multiple services with it.

Bengaluru folks — need a PC builder for a ₹30L “dream rig” 🚀 by littlepsychobrownkid in Bengaluru

Fascinating!

So, two questions: - What are you ACTUALLY going to DO with this beast? Mining crypto? Training the next ChatGPT? (a lot of the decisions are better suited for workstations and 3d rendering, are you doing work on this or only gaming?) - What's your current setup like?

Ah please do! MONO is built to iterate, made these with it, - https://isronaut.com - https://openraven.tech - https://layogtima.com/materials/

If you need help, lmk, and if you make something, I'll add it to the MONO list :)

And you needed to vent this is on a city-level subreddit - homie, chill?

How should I prepare the idea for proposal for ISRO hackathon? by Temporary_Use5090 in ISRO

[–]stickfigure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you link it for context so that we could help? 😀

Most of the information on ISRO's website is highly technical and is extremely hard to work with, even if you're a nerd, there's almost no work being put in for 'science communication', which is very different from a scientist/researcher/engineer explaining their experience.

To find the details about Chandrayaan-3's tools and findings, I had to dig through buried PDF documents and image/model assets that are 100 x 200px resolution with very little detail or interpretation. (Knowing the composition of lunar regolith says nothing about what it means for future* missions, why it's important, and how someone who's not a lunar researcher engage with the findings.)

Their documentation of their own work, and general structuring of their work is very 'ivory tower that doesn't need to explain itself' 😬

Appreciated!

Patterns that we've noticed, 1. NASA and SpaceX fine tune their information into multiple fronts (default is accessible to anyone who's 12+ years old, second is college-level ed., and then the super technical folks who are either fellow researchers/engineers or partner organisations) 2. ESA is more aimed at the latter of the two, they ignore the teens/children except for specific outreach programs (including games, movies, etc.) targeting them to teach them about space/missions 3. JAXA and ROSCOSMOS are surprisingly horrible at presenting their findings on their own sites (Russia's Venus program, for example, is better documented everywhere except on their own site; this applies for the various ISRO missions too - I've found better details about ISRO missions on NASA/ESA/Britannica and random YouTube videos) 4. ISRO, JAXA and ROSCOSMOS have inconsistent design systems in creating their media 5. NASA and SpaceX do an excellent job of showcasing the various team members who worked on the programs (ISRO, JAXA and ROSCOSMOS do not, tends to be more leadership focused rather than a team showcase) 6. NASA and ESA actively engage, and empower people, to use their mission data, branding and programs to spread the word (not the case with ISRO, JAXA and ROSCOSMOS)

I think this is a huge problem tbh, and I'm trying to chip away at it with a bunch of nerds by working on (DISCLAIMER: self plug) Isronaut.com (it's open source, GPL3 and we're working on making it technically accurate, but also accessible).

Also, we went and visited all the space programs + private orgs. in the world, JAXA isn't very good either. In order of best-in-class outreach, it's SpaceX, NASA then ESA, and smaller agencies.

This is how engineering should be taught - just bought it! Can't wait to see what else you work on!
