The mastodon boop sounds are called boop and were created by Josef Kenny

You can find the binary files sound files of the Mastodon beep sound at

They were created by [Wayback/Archive] Josef Kenny (blog: [Wayback/Archive] josef.one; Mastodon “i made that mastodon boop sound”: [Wayback/Archive] josef (@jk@mastodon.social) – Mastodon) early 2017 and updated with metadata later that year. In 2022 it became clear that using the sound is allowed as long as there is credit:

YOLO (You Only Look Once) is a series of computer vision algorithms and libraries based on training data that does ultra-fast object recognition. Most of it is written in Python with the more recent versions all using Pytorch, though interface from various other languages and environments are available. The above article lists them all.

A long time ago I gave a presentation on a few conferences using computer vision of which I blogged about the first one:Β Spoken @ DevDays 2009 NL – download is online: .NET & hardware – capture video & control servos, in a fun application

My presentation (.NET & hardware – capture video & control servos,Β in a fun application) was as a GeekNight session.
That imposed geeky stuff, but in addition it addressed an important point: there will be many more means of interaction.
In particular, my β€˜geek’ combination of hardware and software would react on movements seen by the webcam by pointing the beam of the laserpointer towards the largest area that moved.
