YacineMTB reports his new project has eaten all his free time, but with one Sunday off he made "ridiculous" progress on his hobby project getting drones to fly autonomously on what he calls dog-shit compute. beffjezos replies that this is exactly what Astra ultra fast was made for. Light on details, but a fun signal for small-model robotics on edge hardware.
