So I spent a lot of last night working on suggestions I received from yesterday’s post , and I can say it is getting better. It now detects when a vehicle stops , a person gets out , wherever waste was left behind and it can capture the number plate, not perfectly but it can kind of do it.

Later today I’ll be testing it on regular traffic to make sure it doesn’t flag innocent people. By no means is this complete and perfect , however it’s a big step up from yesterday .

There’s a road near me called Crime Lane in Greater Manchester where the council spent thousands on concrete bollards to stop fly tipping. People just moved 10 seconds down the road.

So I’m building an AI system using computer vision to catch them instead , detecting vehicles, people, and dumped waste automatically from camera footage.

First model is already hitting 95% confidence on vehicle detection. Planning to pitch it to the local council as a free pilot.

I’m 14.

I got tired of seeing fly tipping near where I live so I started building an AI system to detect it. Computer vision, YOLOv8, trail cameras.

95% vehicle detection on first model. Building toward automatic alerts and evidence packaging for council prosecution.

I’m 14 and doing this from my bedroom in Manchester.

Building a fly tipping detection system using YOLOv8/RF-DETR and Roboflow. 320 labelled images so far, retraining with 820 augmented images now.

First model hitting 95% on vehicle detection but struggling to generalise to unseen images — currently working on dataset variety and augmentation to fix overfitting.

Planning to add OCR for number plate reading and a behaviour sequence logic layer on top of the detections.

Happy to share what I’ve learned so far — any advice on improving generalisation with a small dataset?

People who don’t use AI , how come ? Tell me why.

Hey if anyone from coros can see this , I think a sleep score would be good because then we can see how good are sleep actually is , other just food or great . Thanks

So I want to do an iron man but the hardest part isn’t the fitness side , it getting on a bike . Is it ok , because i really want to do an Ironman but don’t want to be a c*clist . Can there be an exception ?

Built a free AI agent that runs on Groq. Tired of paying for Claude and Manus just to have something that manages my day. Bring your own API key, no subscriptions, connects to your apps and takes actions. Still early but wanted to share. What would you actually want a free agent to do for you?

Been building MADS* — a personal AI agent that actually does things for you. The problem with agents right now is they’re all expensive. Claude, Manus, Codex — priced out of reach for most people.

MADS runs on Groq so it’s completely free. Bring your own API key, no subscriptions, no limits imposed by me.

What it does:

•	Connects to your apps and takes actions on your behalf  
•	Web search, calendar, messaging integrations  
•	Works across your whole day not just one use case  
•	Liquid Glass UI — built for iOS 26 aesthetic

Still early but the foundation is solid. Happy to answer questions about the stack — running Llama 3.3 70B for complex tasks, 8B for quick ones, function calling for the agent layer.

*MADS Stands for - Multi Adaptive Direct System
