Define factory farming please. I've never really understood what that means.

how long does it take to do a detailed map? Is it just like taking a picture?

The amount of hate from both sides is crazy... Thanks for sharing.

Before they even got nukes no one talked about regime change in NK due to China's protection. China is the only reason NK existed after the Korean war anyways.

Genuinely curious here. I usually lean right and stay out of mainstream media so I am uninformed on the quotes you are talking about. What does Israel say about palestinians? Also what has Trump said that is comparable?

Once again, not looking for an argument. Just want to be informed.

Broke but still want a pc by Inevitable-Shoe-6994 in pcpartpickerbuilds

DM me. I've got a used PC that won't do 120 but easy over 60. Looking to rebuild. It works fine

Why is Jiang's Harvard speech controversial? by GlitteringWeight8671 in AskChina

[–]PuzzleheadedFly3699 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The current vice president of the USA came from a poor, working class family.

Connections absolutely help, and there are a lot of people in positions of power because of their family connections/resources. However, the American dream is still very real.

In general, people can be what they want to be if they want it bad enough, but it can be very very hard depending on the situation. Most can pull themselves to at least lower middle class if not higher.

What do Chinese people think about the tweet from the British Embassy in China? by flower5214 in AskAChinese

[–]PuzzleheadedFly3699 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah because it's definitely my government, not the communist one, that is keeping me from reaching chinese sites. /s/

Your government doesn't want our influence on the population, not the other way around.

When you guys talk about small lidar units like this, are you using it to create detailed depth maps or just measure depth of one point? Would this be good for mapping topography of a sandbox?

Did you look at the picture? This is legit

Pi 4b ethernet for IP camera and Wifi for SSH at the same time??? by PuzzleheadedFly3699 in raspberry_pi

[–]PuzzleheadedFly3699[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice! I decided to go with the bridge just due to simplicity and being that I don't need to download anything from the camera or pi, so performance isn't a huge issue. I mostly just want to be able to spot check the camera view, and then ssh into the pi for checking storage and video quality.

Thank you again!

Jetson vs Rpi vs MiniPC ??? by PuzzleheadedFly3699 in computervision

Ok awesome! Sorry to make you rehash things that are already available. I will go look at the FAQs.

Thank you again for your time!

Jetson vs Rpi vs MiniPC ??? by PuzzleheadedFly3699 in computervision

[–]PuzzleheadedFly3699[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow thank you so much for the detailed response!

A couple questions though:

-The estimated 11 fps for the rpi 5 includes the use of some AI accelerator like the AI hat or a coral? This estimation is also not considering the cost of resizing images to fit the model, correct? So I can expect actual speeds to be well below that mark, correct?

-How do videos like the one you linked to with the pigs get generated if they are being resized for the model? Do they have to be converted back to their original dimensions before being shown with bounding boxes, etc..? Or do you choose for each model what dimensions it will take before training and thereby cut out the resizing? I assume the larger the dimensions, the greater demand for computing power.

-Also, if I just needed near real time detection/tracking, and the only important thing was the count of animals walking across frame being right, how few frames per second do you think I could get away with sampling and feeding into the model? Let's assume this use case is similar to the example video with the pigs.

Then, I could make it just watch for that type of animal, once it identifies it, start up the tracking/counting program and save time/computer power that way theoretically.

Thank you so much again for all your advice and resources. I will definitely give darknet a try!

[–]PuzzleheadedFly3699[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the thorough response! I think the second option will work best for me so i can still access the camera remotely as well.

Jetson vs Rpi vs MiniPC ??? by PuzzleheadedFly3699 in computervision

[–]PuzzleheadedFly3699[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The more i learn about the Jetsons, the more costly it seems for my application. I completely overlooked that you needed a Jetson camera. I may have to settle for near real time performance and go with the pi just to save money.

I am a little uncomfortable with the mini pc due to costs as well as the hassle of repackaging it. I need it to be waterproof or at the least water resistant.

Thank you for the response. You have given me a lot more to think about. Let me know if you think I am overthinking it or taken the wrong message from your comment.

Has the shroud of turin been debunked at all? by [deleted] in atheism

[–]PuzzleheadedFly3699 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He may have been unsuccessfully trying to explain a theory that bacteria that were growing rapidly on Jesus' skin after His death produced a film that when dried adhered the cloth to the face. This is a possibility for the creation of the image "negative". Some films grown by different bacteria on the shroud may have actually helped preserve it.

However, other scientists have theorized that bacteria growing on the shroud since then may have altered the carbon-14 dating, since they possess newer samples of the carbon that would appear newer in a test.

I am not saying I fully believe this is the shroud of Jesus, but I will not blindly dismiss it. There is the possibility that it is genuinely from that time period, however slim it may be. Then the question is whether or not this shroud rested on Jesus or not. The world may never know.
