I need to buy some pantry containers (for the *at least* six types of flour I use for bread and pizza, plus other stuff) and I guess it's not very neurotypical to pass two days measuring and weighting and comparing and checking company information (we want EU-made for ecological reasons) instead of, you know, just getting whatever crap Amazon decided to sell me today?

Beyond Discord
💬Join our new Matrix space: #home:commune.sh The web is awash with reasons not to use Discord, especially for open source projects. One of the easiest ways to trend on HN is to rant against the use of Discord for OSS or information storage: In spite of countless pleas,

Today I am very confused about how the bird detector is failing to spot birds on the video stream but if I run it against the analysed frames (which are saved out in debug mode) using the same model, code, etc., it finds them.

"AI" isn't going to take over the world until it's reliable and going off my experiences with that, it's a long way off.

(and that's not even getting into the inability to use different models because REASONS)

Glancing over the initial survey[1] results (only a meager 18 so far 😢), I realise there're at least three more questions I should have included, especially since the emerging picture for some questions is somewhat in very stark contrast to other answers & comments received and I can't make any sense of it...
So I'm trying to get some more feedback from any of you via this channel (feel free to reply via DM):
1) What reasons do you give for _not_ using thi.ng proj…

An Analysis of Driver-Initiated Takeovers during Assisted Driving and their Effect on Driver Satisfaction
During the use of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), drivers can intervene in the active function and take back control due to various reasons. However, the specific reasons for driver-initiated takeovers in naturalistic driving are still not well understood. In order to get more information on the reasons behind these takeovers, a test group study was conducted. There, 17 participants used a predictive longitudinal driving function for their daily commutes and annotated the reasons for…

We use data to act as a proxy for some results of the system. Often people forget that the desired end result is not for the number to be improved but for the situation to be improved. We hope, if the measure improves the situation will have improved. But there are many reasons this may not be the case (1 number improving at the expense of other parts of the system, the failure of the number to accurately serve as a proxy, distorting numbers, etc.)...
