My sense has been that accuracy that I need is only possible with the pretty advanced AI models and that OpenCV type approach wouldn't be good enough. Birds are pretty small in the image of the overall pool that I am working with and d

I have it down to $0.60/month which is lower than I expected I could get it with good accuracy. That's ~10k images processed.

I taught English in Seoul for a year in '02/'03. bang = room. There was (maybe still is?) a PC bang on every block or two pretty much. I'm sure I went at least 100 times. Great way to kill some time playing counter-strik

This article bummed me out. I think this analogy of popular digital content being the 'junk food' of the brain is correct and the negative effects will, yet again, accrue disproportionately to the poor and less privileged in soci
