Training using a local MCP/tools I've built out feels like a super power. Being able to create multiple strategies, run them all and check in on results.

Playing with different annotation interactions, attempting to improve speed and comfort.

Now using a couple ML methods to detect contours, then be able to trim or add to the polygon with limited interaction.

Probably need to make an iOS app with pencil support...

Experimenting with animating sensor data. Eventually looking to build out predicted poses based on sensor data, and how that maps to detected activities.

Boring, for now.

I've been thinking of new ways automated testing could be used. Today, I created a series of tests that goes through my customer flows in a variety of appearances.

They take screenshots, finally creating a new webpage where I can directly compare various UI against each appearance.

Super excited to see everyone in Chicago! Can't wait to chat w/ folks @DeepDishSwift@iosdev.space

New mission:

Hand @dewygolf@mastodon.social to a new person everyday till launch.

Learned so much watching a non golfer, and non-iOS user using it as a first time experience.

I might be too deep into SwiftUI animations. I now have resorted to using Final Cut Pro to go frame by frame...

Had fun today redesigning my new user experience. Including a little cart that moves along with your progress.

I love diving into academic papers/writing and history related to what I'm working on. Today, I'm working on line/grid detection and segmentation.

So how a golf scorecard could be read, led to Hough transforms, which was related to work that earned a Noble Prize in physics.

Been doing a ton of annotation work in Clay lately and noticed something fun.. corner-to-corner bounding boxes just feel better than clicking edges.

At first I thought it was just fewer clicks, but it's more than that. You're really just answering two simple questions: where does this thing start? Where does it end?

Edge-clicking makes you think about width, then height..your brain has to decompose the object instead of just seeing it. Hundreds of annotations in and my brain is way less fried

Putting the vinyl player && speakers directly behind my desk has had at least a 70% improvement in enjoyment of music.

Updated my ML app to have native support for translation and drawing AABB/OBB annotations.
