  • This is such a cool project. My mom would absolutely love this if I made it as a gift. This may be a good project.
  • Awesome! It's really cool that it uses public domain images as the inspiration, too. And even cooler that you link to the places where you got those public domain images.
  • As a fellow Norwegian I must say that this is pure art by the developer Arne Munthe-Kaas.
  • I'm also in the BirdTech scene. I detect birds and automatically spray them with a sprinkler to keep away from our pool area.

  • So many bird projects recently and I think it’s all thanks to this project[0]

  • e-ink is so much fun, especially when combined with ESP32 or BTLE boards. I currently have 4 around my house displaying book quotes that I've highlighted in KOReader and they bring me joy each time I see them. They are simple and do one thing very well.

    I just got and setup a BTLE e-ink driver the other day and according to my calculations it will last _years_ on a single charge (2000mAh) even with multiple refreshes per day (crazy compared to the Wifi ones). Year+ lifetime completely changes the calculus for where to put these IMHO.

    I'm considering designing a multiple-screen "art" piece to hang on my wall and playing around with various ideas (on both content and design).

    LLMs + 3D Printer + e-ink is my new favorite hobby.

  • The underlying classifier, BirdNET, is a traditional neural network and not an LLM:

  • This is the coolest thing on HN that I've seen in a minute. The whole thing is a perfect blend of ideas with the end result of something that feels... magical. Honestly this is the highest inspiration to me as a builder as I just want to create magical experiences, even if they are just small oddities.
