You can look at MediaPipe's BlazeFace / BlazePose for faster inference for lower-end chips. I currently have an application that does realtime video with YoloV8-M on my Macbook at over 60fps

It's not total bullshit - compare Imatinib on GoodRX ($787) vs CostPlus ($14) for 30 tablets. What the company is doing is cutting out the (arbitrary) pharmacy markup. They take a 15% cut and are TRANSPARENT about their price (again,

Let me add a bit of advice to any homeowners out there: learn to do the job yourself! I bought my house 5 years ago and I went from zero knowledge to remodeling the entire thing mostly on my own. Not only does it save you the hassle of ha

"a few more remote friendly companies". Respectfully disagree - the market will make this decision, and now that employees have all tasted the benefit, they are going to work for companies that give them that freedom. On top of

I am switching to one (not yet delivered) for my iOS dev work from a 2017 MBP. My main reasoning is price, and since my laptop mostly just sits in clamshell mode. I got the 16GB one, but can't imagine the 8GB will suffer for developm

The cropping issue is an unsolvable one for AI. It doesn’t matter how unbiased you want the model to be, if an algorithm has to chose between 2+ faces with no “correct” answer, it can’t win. You might just think, why doesn’t it just identi

I agree -- on top of this, I think machine learning will play an important role. The power of machine learning + AR creates some interesting possibilities. You can check out our website for some examples https://www.2020cv.com

Apologies if the title is confusing. The demo does use CNNs, as mentioned to predict the 2D joint locations of the hand. The whole point of this system is that it relies only on a monocular camera, allowing it to run on a wide range of dev

That app in particular got sidelined for now, but we've released two others since then: http://instasaber.com http://speakingpuppy.com

My project didn't get much attention on Show HN (or anywhere else), but I sent a cold email to Mark Cuban and offered to invest pretty quickly. So don't get too disheartened if your project gets a tepid response. Orignal post: h

Yes, although wolves are making a comeback in some parts of the world, so there's something to be optimistic about!

Maybe in the future -- a bigger commitment to create the infrastructure needed for that. For now, just looking to get feedback and reactions : )

Hey HN, I made this app, let me know if you have any questions! It uses a TensorFlow/Keras model to detect the dog's facial features, and a custom AR interface for estimating 3D pose.

Assuming the miners still want to rent out the hardware and not sell it :) Even then, you'd have an instance of two parties both taking slices of the profit, which is hard to compete in a practical manner against the Amazon/Googl

Serious question (as opposed to a snarky one): what happens when/if the crypto currency market takes a large downturn? If your pricing is based off using their cycles, Snark.ai would have to raise prices, right?

Of course it's a difficult problem, but why try and dissuade people from attempting it? Nothing novel ever came from somebody who didn't fail first : )

I would love it if I had the time and resources to do that, but hard to justify with how poor the retention was on iOS (understandably, from a gimmick like this). Quite a good chance I will be targeting Android first next app I do.

Essentially, just using it to feed frames into the CoreML model, but not using the planar detection. However, I am using ARKit world orientation tracking in other stuff I'm working on like this: https://twitter.com/20

Uh, InstaSaber, of course: https://twitter.com/2020cv_inc/status/942849449193177088 If on Android, just hide inside your Tauntaun and pray... joking (we hope to get this running on Android soon too)
