I started to implement my station for birdnet pi for detecting distant bird sounds. Which is a multi-channel array. currently being tested with two channels

A couple of weeks ago I fixed a nasty bug in this function in OpenZFS:

Eleven init systems enter, one init system leaves.

An exploration of how AI is accelerating traditional development methods into rapid, 15-minute waterfall cycles, transforming software engineering workflows and team dynamics.
