A lot of people use them for the use case I described (object detection for security cameras), using either Blue Iris or Frigate. They work pretty well for that use case.
Wake word detection is a good use case too (eg if you're making your own smart assistant).
The Coral site lists a few use cases.
It's good for coding if you train it on your own code base. Not great for writing very complex code since the models tend to hallucinate, but it's great for common patterns, and straightforward questions specific to your code base that can be answered based on existing code (eg "how do I load a user's most recent order given their email address?")
They're all built on top of OpenAI which is very unprofitable at the moment. Feels like the whole industry is built on a shaky foundation.
Putting the entire fate of your company in a different company (OpenAI) is not a great business move. I guess the successful AI startups will eventually transition to self-hosted models like Llama, if they survive that long.
I receive alerts when people are outside my house, using security cameras, Blue Iris, CodeProject AI, Node-RED and Home Assistant, using a Google Coral for local AI. Entirely local - no cloud services apart from Google's notification system to get notifications to my phone while I'm not home (which most Android apps use). That's a good use case for AI since it avoids false positives that occur with regular motion detection.
You could probably swap out the TTS engine. I'd like to hear a podcast narrated by Microsoft Sam.
The current owner of Winamp tried to open source the Winamp 5 source code, but there were so many problems with the launch that they had to delete the repo. Things like a license that prevented the repo from being forked (which violates Github's terms of service), and the repo contained licensed proprietary code from companies like Dolby and Intel that wasn't supposed to be open sourced, things like that. They didn't understand how Git works so they unsuccessfully tried to delete the infringing code.
I think it's all read-only access through, so you can only use it to import data not make new transactions.
That's alright. Even read-only access is useful. I could write a script that pulls my current investments, prompts for the amount I'll be investing in total, and prints out the buys (eg "buy 10 x VOO, 5 x VXF, 20 x VXUS") that'll keep the account balanced based on some percentages.
It's the same in SmartTube. Age-restricted videos haven't worked for a while, even if logged in.
Does SimpleFIN use OAuth to log into bank accounts, or do you need to enter your bank's username and password?
Unrelated to this post, but do you know if SimpleFIN supports investment accounts? If it does, it seems like an easy way to let me write a script to help rebalance my investment accounts. I might look into it.
Definitely a possibility! It'll be interesting to see what happens.
It seems like there's a correlation between people that refer to women as "females" and people that don't treat women well.
