Hand Tracking with MediaPipe (Task API)
Real-time hand tracking using the MediaPipe Task API and a TensorFlow Lite model.
The 21 hand landmark points are detected live and displayed as a skeleton. I used my old PlayStation 2 EyeToy camera with a resolution of 640×480 px.
Such systems can be used for gesture control, motion capturing, VR/AR interaction, touch-free interfaces, robotics interfaces, or even for computer games and creative projects.
Similar techniques can be used to implement other forms of computer vision, such as face or eye tracking, by using the corresponding model instead of the hand model.
Video workflow:
- Recorded with OBS
- Edited in Kdenlive
- Transcoded with VAAPI (H.264)
Everything runs on Linux + Python (FOSS), so anyone can set this up.

Python Tip #70 (of 365):
Print partial lines by specifying end="" 🧵
Instead of writing to "sys.stdout" to avoid printing newlines:
sys.stdout.write(prefix)
sys.stdout.write(remainder + "\n")
Consider passing end to print():
print(prefix, end="")
print(remainder)

The pipeline for @civicband is 100% running into this issue @hynek documented three years ago: https://hynek.me/til/rq-macos/
Are there more modern python queues that have don't have this issue? Maybe it's too inherent to #python on #macOS

Now this is an interesting #Python problem. I don't know if it's a #bug, but it's a change in behaviour that I don't see documented.
I upgraded from #Debian 12/Bookworm to 13/Trixie, so the default Python3 changed from 3.11 to 3.13. A script of mine broke, because `pathlib.Path.is_mount()` changed behaviour when the path is a symlink (at least to a directory).
i.e. I'm testing a path that is a symlink. The symlink points to a directory. That directory *is* a mountpoint. The `.is_mount()` test in 3.11 returned True, while in 3.13 it returns False.
This seems wrong to me. Most path-manipulation functions transparently treat symlinks as if they were the pointed-to object unless you pass an option/flag specifically to say you want the symlink itself.
Gonna have to dig to see what else I can find.

Release 10.8.2 of passagemath, the comprehensive #OpenSource #Mathematics system in #Python, the pip-installable modularized fork of #SageMath, is now available.
Thanks to work by Shahzeb Imran, rich output (LaTeX formulas, 2D and 3D graphics) is now available in @marimo.io@bsky.brid.gy notebooks.
