Despite having worked in technology based jobs for 20 years and been involved with computers for almost 30, it still boggles my mind that we've reached a point where we can:
- connect to publicly available video streams
- over public internet
- run existing computer vision libraries
- to identify real objects correctly
and all for free!
It really is astounding.
Not sure if some of this comes from working in old school FinTech where code is old, monkey patched etc or just my age. I will say that this is the kind of HN that keeps me inspired that tech will just keep getting easier and easier to use which will in turn lead to cooler and cooler projects.
