A new auto-scoring system for darts has ignited a newfound love for the game, while open-source digital workspaces and advancements in machine learning continue to develop, according to recent reports. Additionally, several website builders are available for those looking to establish an online presence, and a new project allows for running Scheme code on web browsers.
The Target Darts Omni Auto Scoring System, a light ring with four hi-def cameras, has been tested and reviewed by Wired, with the reviewer noting it "ignited my newfound love of the old pub favorite." The system connects to the DartCounter app via Wi-Fi, providing automatic scoring, an announcer, and checkout calls. While considered a pricey system, it could be a worthwhile investment for darts fans looking to improve their game.
Meanwhile, La Suite numérique, a full-blown open-source digital workspace for online collaboration and teamwork, was highlighted on Hacker News. Built by French government agencies DINUM and ANCT, it is also the product of European collaboration with the Netherlands and the German state. The project was showcased at Hack Days, which brought together 300 people from 15 countries, including students, researchers, and developers.
In the realm of website development, Wired also reviewed website builders, streamlining the process of publishing a website. The article highlighted options like Squarespace, Hostinger, Wix, and Strikingly, catering to different needs and budgets. These builders utilize drag-and-drop interfaces for easy design, eliminating the need to manage files and networking complexities.
Furthermore, the field of machine learning continues to evolve. A paper on Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) was submitted to arXiv, providing an introduction to the core methods for those with a quantitative background. The book explores the origins of RLHF, drawing from economics, philosophy, and optimal control.
Finally, the Spritely project has developed Hoot, enabling the running of Scheme code on Wasm GC-capable web browsers. Hoot features a Scheme to Wasm compiler and a full-featured Wasm toolchain, built on Guile and without additional dependencies. The latest release is v0.7.0.
