anonfunction··on Counting Bees on a Raspberry Pi with a ConvNet
Once you get the JeVois[1] it would be interesting to run the "Background subtraction to detect moving objects"[2] model and see how that compares.

anonfunction··on Show HN: A list of short, available .app domains
Some I checked were already taken and others were "premium" domains.
anonfunction··on Laurel or Yanny? Experts tell us why 'The Dress' for ears is driving us crazy
I don't think it's so simple. I only hear Laurel, even when playing the higher or lower frequency. I have no hearing loss and am using quality headphones. When the audio was slowed down I could hear yannie.
anonfunction··on Cloud Memorystore: A fully managed in-memory data store service for Redis
Thanks!
anonfunction··on Cloud Memorystore: A fully managed in-memory data store service for Redis
Is it managed redis or something google made themselves that has the same API? I wonder if they will keep up with all the new stuff in redis like streams.
anonfunction··on Show HN: I've made this API-linked list of 250+ crypto meetups in 60 cities
What does API-linked mean?
anonfunction··on GitHub provides an RSS feed for all user-facing changes made on the platform
I was just about to make a bot for this!
anonfunction··on Show HN: I have created a service that provides real-time UK box office data
Congrats! Where does the data come from?
anonfunction··on Ask HN: Markdown rendering on macOS Sierra
Atom has a markdown preview plugin I use. For writing longer documentation I've used MacDown[1] in the past.

anonfunction··on Show HN: Fast 2kB date library alternative to Moment.js with the same API
I built a library called human-date[1] that does this as a replacement for moment.js. It is ~30x faster according to this benchmark[2]. The API is not the same but very easy to use[3].

anonfunction··on Fast website link checker in Go
I like using make even for basic task running. It’s usually installed where I’m working and is familiar. I don’t want to install rake or mage.
anonfunction··on Show HN: View Instagram Profile Picture in Hi-Res
I had just used another submission[1] I found on HN to get it! Unfortunately the picture is still really low quality, and it's a good one that isn't anywhere else so I've been trying to find it for awhile.

I've never heard about this special mode.
anonfunction··on Show HN: Parcel, a simple resource bundler for Golang
The project looks nice and easy to use but I wonder if it might be confused with the javascript bundler named Parcel.

anonfunction··on Show HN: RunwayML – Machine Learning for Everyone
It doesn't seem finished, there's nothing but a pretty screenshot and a homepage. Found an empty GitHub repo and lots of the links don't work.
anonfunction··on Wizard for Mac – new kind of statistics program
Was thinking same thing, there is a link to a video at the bottom though.
anonfunction··on The dots do matter: how to scam a Gmail user
Same thing happened to me with my original gmail address. So much spam before google was really good at filtering it. Had to change address to include my area code, and of course I don't live there anymore.

I don't understand this though, how do they think they have an email address if they were never able to create it or sign into it? I think more likely they forgot the number at the end or something like that.

Love this comment:

// yeah yeah, goddamn, gotta fix this.....someday....soon....i promise....really

anonfunction··on Show HN: Chillbeats.live – minimal chill music player
I wish it showed the currently playing song, there is one I really like and it doesn't seem to be on https://soundcloud.com/letournedisque/tracks or at least I couldn't find it.
anonfunction··on Report of Active Shooter at YouTube HQ
My bad, I had multiple tabs open and got them confused.

anonfunction··on How to Easily Detect Objects with Deep Learning on Raspberry Pi
Thanks, I didn't see those plans in the app. Video pricing is great, but may be hard to work with for real-time feeds. I would probably be reducing the framerate to 8 FPS and using those images for detection.
anonfunction··on How to Easily Detect Objects with Deep Learning on Raspberry Pi
There are plenty of real applications for inferring every frame of video. Any real time monitoring application would run all the frames, even if you cut it to 1 FPS with multiple video sources the monthly price doesn't make sense.

One application would be nudity detection for a family friendly site, lots of video would need to be checked.

The argument that you would want to run your own machine validates my point. However the same could have been said for video encoding or any other form of intense processing which all now have cloud alternatives.

anonfunction··on How to Easily Detect Objects with Deep Learning on Raspberry Pi
The two pricing tiers for the hosted API don't seem practical for real usage.

$0 for 1,000 slow API calls

$79 for 10,000 fast API calls

To put that into perspective the 10k API calls is less than 10 minutes of 24 fps video. You should have a much higher plan or pay per request overage price.

anonfunction··on Ask HN: What are the best HN related websites?
I recently made https://code.hn to filter non-code related links.

I use http://www.hnreplies.com/ to get notified on replies to my comments.

anonfunction··on Show HN: A flat file CRUD API with just one PHP file
One reason is it's a lot easier to demo in person because you just need a browser. I wouldn't design any serious API with query params but I can understand the appeal.
anonfunction··on Show HN: Code on Hacker News
I was planning to add a filter by language which I get from GitHub API but I like the idea of adding other metadata as well. Thanks for the suggestion.
anonfunction··on Show HN: Code on Hacker News
Totally free and took less then 10 minutes!

Specifically I used https://certbot.eff.org with nginx.

anonfunction··on Show HN: Code on Hacker News
That is pretty much what I hoped to create. I just didn't know about that, I wish I had because I've wanted this functionality for years.

One difference is that ?site=github.com seems to only work on the /from page so the results are not broken into top / new / best / show pages.

I'm also planning to add a filter so you can only see projects for your language of choice.

anonfunction··on Show HN: Code on Hacker News
Yeah I know about that, I wanted to play around with the links in the bottom and see what got clicked the most. I added a check to make sure google is loaded, can you try again?
