OpenCV (demos) are a good way to get started with "old-school" computer vision. For machine-learning kind of computer vision see for example https://experiments.withgoogle.com/collection/ai

Interesting, this is powerful. UIVision is using OpenCV/Webassembly for their image recognition features: "...run automated visual UI tests inside the web browser and on the desktop, powered by WebAssembly." ( https:/&#

" you want to run it ... in your own onsite/cloud/whatever" => I agree. If security and/or privacy is an issue, better use a non SaaS solution. There are many options available, such as UIPath or UI.Vision, or si

Hi, interesting. Does this run in the browser or on the backend? "All your bots live on you computer and process data in your web browser. We store the steps of your bot and data" It seems the scripts are stored on your servers?

It is a truly great tool. The caveat is that using Hammerspoon is essentially programming. So it is "only" suitable for technical users like developers. For the casual Mac user (e. g. product manager or the guy from sales) the vis

Showing a password vs getting your face scans taken and stored in a gigantic face recognition library is a gigantic difference. Once the state has your biometrics stored, you can be ID'ed without you noticing , e. g. as you walk aro

A solution to run non -headless Chrome browsers in the cloud would be welcome. We used Sikuli and now UI.Vision RPA for test automation, and have to manage the servers for it ourself. If I could outsource this to a service like browserless

Tesseract is the only open-source OCR package that I am aware of. If anyone knows anything else, I would be very curious as well.

Yeah, nothing to learn from this page. But I can not undo my upvote. I was hopping to see either a comparison of established services (Abbyy, Google Cloud Vision, OCR.space,...) or, even better, an insightful report from a Tesseract develop

Nobody blames anyone here. The point is that anyone who lives (or has family) in a dictatorship can be easily blackmailed by its own state, with no legal recourse.

He had an idea and tested it. 3 month and $1900 sounds about right. I don't think you can test product ideas with significantly less time and money investment.

Are the trains better e. g. compared to TGV or Shinkansen? I doubt that. Or just cheaper? Sure, cheaper is also a form of "better". Please note that they forced the technology transfer from Siemens. That is one of the key issues w

...which is what I strongly prefer (rule of law and all that). Of course, as others have said, on-device processing would be the best.

I understand that developers need to earn money for their work. => Another license option to use is the the one of UI.Vision and others: Split the product in an Open-Source core (e. g. GPL license) and a proprietary part for the commerc

No need to. These Teslas are for domestic use, and they already have enough data of every Chinese citizen.

?? I really don't understand what upset you so much about my comment. A person falls, and nobody misses her or looks after her for three days. How is this not a problem of our current society?

by eastendguy 7y ago
...the problem here seems more that nobody missed her for three days. So loneliness is the key issue here and an Apple watch will not fix that. That said, having an Apple watch is certainly much cooler than wearing those emergency call devi

Another good example of a freemium browser extension is Grammarly. Browser extension certainly can be monetized in an ethical way. (Note: I never used Grammarly myself, just seen the many ads)

Why is Germany (the state) "anti credit card"? It is accepted everywhere. You might mean that some Germans don't like CC and prefer cash for privacy reasons. But that is a personal decision.

Yeah, but I usually don't want to accelerate 10 times, but only once in a while (e. g. after a red light). It is totally useless, but great fun in Tesla.

I keep thinking that an app or service to fight loneliness will be an (anti) killer app. Yet I have no idea how such an service should look like. Obviously dating apps do not work for all circumstances.

Exactly. To avoid contact form spam I added a simple "Fill in this number (123):" to on of our forms. The number is even hardcoded! But that was enough to reduce contact form spam from ~10-20 a day to zero.
