Selfhosted

40330 readers
538 users here now

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Randall Monroe has provided me with weekly nibbles of entertainment for nearly 2 decades. But this was inspired by his style, not created by him.

Funny, now it's easy to check for birds.

If by "easy" you mean someone else already spent 5 years and a nice chunk of cash training a model for it, which you get to use. And if you accept that it will not be accurate across all possible species and environments, only very specific subsets.

You're right, but you could say the same about the National Park GIS lookup.

We spent the five years training the model. Manually. With Captcha data.

Now we're teaching it not to run traffic signals, hit motorcycles or busses, or try to drive up stairs.

I'm waiting for the day Google Recaptcha will ask me "is that traffic light red?" and after a couple of seconds "hurry up, I'm approaching the intersection!"

But if my tesla cant go how will hit those last few pedestrian

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

also fooled by drawings and if it's shit enough the model will be fooled by text saying "bird"

This is original work. The source is in the post.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

For a generous definition of "original".

Edit: very generous, since it's just new text on the second panel in https://xkcd.com/1269/

A bit of reverse image searching reveals this was the original XKCD comic (more specifically, the top middle panel): https://xkcd.com/1269/
