Just a screenshot showing how well auto clustering (sometimes) works.  Given 159 images, it properly identified front face label, and then autonomously grouped them into equivalent clusters with no mistakes:

Screenshot - 2_17_2016 , 10_13_05 PM.png

No guidance was provided by the user other than to say this was a D20 die; there was no pre-training of labels (i.e. this was a pure unsupervised clustering task).
Note that the class numbers listed have no meaning at all.



Notice that it separated the 6s from the 9s, which differ only in the occurrence of a very small dot at the baseline of the 6s.  These classes can be hard for the algorithm to separate sometimes depending on how clear the dot is on a given die (for example if the camera isn't in good focus).



The 159 source camera images being processed look like this (after they've been cropped and focused to hide extraneous background):

Screenshot Captor / Re: It makes me crazy ... SC zoom while i'm screening
« Last post by mouser on February 16, 2016, 12:10 PM »
I think i know this bug.  Can i just confirm -- the problem happens only when you trigger a "Selected Region" capture, right?
4904
When trying to capture a region using Surface Pro 4, the screen zooms 200% on the built-in monitor (i.e. 400% of original image). The same zooming carries to the external monitor.

so this bug only happens when you do a selected-region capture?

if so, i know this bug, and SC fixed it a while ago, but i may have ended up disabling the thing that is responsible for the fix.  i will try to get up a beta this week.

I apologize for missing this originally. Can you elaborate a little bit on this, or can anyone else provide some guidance about what kinds of apps we are talking about?

ps. for what it's worth, using this software as a benchmark, my desktop pc is about 20x faster than the RPI2.

Living Room / Make a custom 20 key keypad for $10
« Last post by mouser on February 14, 2016, 10:59 AM »
Nice little tutorial on how you can make a custom usb keypad with 20 custom keys to do whatever you want for $10.

The trick is to use a generic cheap external usb numpad but then use some clever software that can be told to only respond to certain keys pressed on a certain keyboard.

Neat stuff.

ProcessTamer / Re: To ignore a process - when?
« Last post by mouser on February 13, 2016, 12:29 PM »
Just let PT do it's thing then.  No need to ignore anything.

It should be said that if you have a modern fast pc, then Process Tamer is not going to do anything useful for you (it won't hurt you either).

Process Tamer really is useful for people who have slower older pcs, where certain applications noticeably slow their computer annoyingly.

ProcessTamer / Re: To ignore a process - when?
« Last post by mouser on February 13, 2016, 11:48 AM »
A good rule of thumb is to ignore anything where you won't be doing anything else while they are running, and where you care about them running as fast as possible.
So, full screen games definitely have PT ignore.

The reason to let PT tame a process is if you want to be using ANOTHER program while the tamed program is running.

I think you were probably on the right track -- it's probably a plugin that is crashing, and your process of moving the plugins out and in resulted in FARR disabling one or more of them.
If you go into the plugin options in FARR it will show you a list of enabled/disabled plugins.

Parts have arrived, I'm installing the libraries I need on the Raspberry Pi, and i have sketched out my wooden machine "box", which will be 15" long by 7.5" wide by 4" deep.
As absurd as it sounds, the best justification in my head for going through with this build is as an (absurdly) expensive (in terms of money and time) art project, and as a learning experience... Trying to justify it in any other way is even harder.

And in the back of my mind i'm hoping i come up with a better way to re-use these parts at some point..

I will post photos next week I hope.

I have ordered raspberry pi and motor control hat and touchscreen.. Gothic (dc member who helped set up servers and lives nearby and is a hardware guy) is going to come by to help me try to get things wired up in a couple of weeks.  if all goes well might have a prototype by march..

Considering beaglebone instead of raspberry pi..

Though i do like the easy availability of camera and touchscreen for the raspberry pi, so i think probably that's still the best way to go.

So, the $10 dice rolling machine ordered from amazon arrived today, made in china, shipped from germany (i will never understand the economics of this stuff).

At first glance it seems to work pretty well at creating a random die roll.

Find And Run Robot / Re: How to copy command line output in an alias?
« Last post by mouser on February 03, 2016, 01:17 PM »
ok good question..

heres what i THINK should work, an alias result that looked something like this:

appcap "path/to/script 20 ft to yards";;; copyclip %lastappcap%

i have not tested that, so i can't be entirely sure, and if you can't get that to work i will make sure it can be done somehow.

but here's how that's SUPPOSED to work:
The appcapp command should launch the specified program, and capture it's output in %lastappcap%.
Then the ;;; separates the next command to run, which tells farr to copy the contents of %lastappcap% to clipboard.

If that is all too messy, i might add a new appcap like appcclip to run an app and copy result to clipboard.

And, before you try making that work, you might try the simpler:
appcapappendmemo path/to/script 20 ft to yards

See here for an example: https://www.donation...ndex.php?topic=28136

I'm going to have to look into the escaping of pipe character -- i thought that putting it in double quotes should work, but it's definitely possible I'm wrong.

But getting back to what you are trying to do..

Can you elaborate a little more on exactly what you are trying to do .. FARR does have commands for copying things to the clipboard, etc.
