Unless they can somehow guarantee that the model(s) were not trained on any data later than the 2021 balance sheet, then this is a completely useless exercise and is basically a case of "hindsight is 20/20".

In the 80's in Arlington Heights the pizza of choice was either Dondi's or Wayne's. Sadly, Dondi's changed ownership about 15 years ago and went seriously downhill. They finally went out of business last year. I have hea

20 hours is enough time to take off, eat dinner, get drunk, pass out, sleep late, wake up, and realize YOU'RE STILL ON THE FUCKING PLANE.

I will accept your opinion as I have never implemented a complete ML based solution. All of my opinion is based on promises and demonstrations for ML products such as Cognex VIDI. If those systems have capabilities like you describe, they h

No. my company makes entire PC based vision systems including material handling and value added services. We are not a component level vendor.

God, the first generations of both USB and Ethernet cameras positively SUCKED. Flaky, buggy, and expensive. Our first foray into Ethernet cameras was from a company called Opteon. They had taken a stock Intel ethernet card and flashed custo

Sounds like you worked for an integrator, so it stands to reason that you had a high success rate. Cognex, Keyance, DVT, et al sold a lot of smart cameras in batches of 1 and 2 to non-vision experienced engineers based on the lie that they

Yeah, when I started, we were using RS-170 cameras connected to $30k Cognex acquisition boards (all analog). The switch over to USB and then GigE has been fantastic.

Nope.

15 years ago, I used to claim that there were more smart cameras sitting in engineers desk drawers than there were running in production. I think that was true until about 7-8 years ago.

As a developer and maintainer of a PC based vision solution, I don't like smart cameras. :)

As a engineer, tech enthusiast, software developer, and middle age Gen Xer, I love the analog reliability of a wall switch that simply opens and closes the flow of electrons in a circuit. No updates, no services, no spying, no improvements
