He was the man who could have been Solo. I have always been intrigued by BoShek. When Ben Kenobi enters the cantina on Mos Eisley looking for a pilot to take himself, the boy and two droids to Alderaan, his first choice is a smuggler sporting arched eyebrows, killer muttonchops, and a black and white space suit more akin to an astronaut than a fighter pilot.

In this post I’m going to describe what I did and what to expect if you want to do something similar. Installing Darknet (Windows) Darknet is an open source neural network framework written in C and CUDA and it includes a YOLO implementation.

Each year, 99% Invisible producers select short design stories to talk about with host Roman Mars. Some of these were just too brief to make into full 99pi episodes, but many also reveal aspects of how we find ideas for (and ultimately make) the show.
