DC Hack and Tell
Round 6: Clones of Drones
It’s not PGP-signed, but just trust me: this is the wrap-up for the most recent DC Hack and Tell!
Huge thanks once again to the beautiful people of iStrategyLabs who provide such a wonderful home for DC H&T!
-
Aaron showed a great gift for hackers, Shell in a Box. The best thing to come of it is probably this set of lyrics to the hit songs GeekyBack and “SSH in a Box”.
-
Glen gave voice to a
30-year-oldvintage speech chip from RadioShack with an Arduino and assorted magic. If you’re lucky maybe you can catch one of his upcoming Intro to Arduino workshops! See: PunchRock / DC Robotics Group -
Your password is weak, and Julian can show you how weak. Change your passwords, everybody! (Julian also wins for most demonstrative demo in the software category.)
-
Rick showed how he wrote a neural net in C to predict the price of silver. There aren’t even any question marks before profit for this one!
-
J/K @BeerLabyrinth came with way more technology than typically used for visualizing beer. If you haven’t mixed t-Distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding and alcohol, what are you waiting for?
-
We got to see what Scott’s been working on, setting up a system for mentorship. Look forward to seeing more of it in the future!
The next DC H&T is already scheduled! RSVP for Round 7: Thermal Prior Scarab and we’ll see you on Tuesday March 18! And don’t forget to submit your hack to present!
(This wrap-up and all its cousins are on github.)
