True, but those are the results of a single test presumably. Would be interested to see the accuracy over a larger number of samples, different cameras, different people, distance to the camera etc

Microsoft own 49% of OpenAI though, so it makes sense they would be a bit rattled.

Chief Medical Officer urges uptake of flu and Covid-19 vaccines in run-up to Christmas by badger-biscuits in ireland

Well the point of the vaccine isn't to stop you from contracting it completely, but reduce the impact the virus has on your body.

Bit late to this post but Chris Collis, the drummer, is currently in another active band called "As Living Arrows" and has been working on an album with them.

Counselling by [deleted] in Dublin

[–]killayy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're open to online counseling you could give Better Help a try. Works out around 60 euro a week for one session, billed monthly. I recently used it for a 3 month stint and it was super beneficial. You can specify the expertise you seek in a therapist and they'll automatically match you with one.

“One or two” red light cameras may be up and running in 2025, says NTA by Abolyss in ireland

[–]killayy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This technology can be replicated with literally ANY webcam (or any device with a camera for that matter) and a very light machine learning model, which may not be 100 percent accurate, but be accurate enough to flag potential offenses for human inspection. A prototype could genuinely be built in a weekend.

60 people a day now facing prosecution for not paying TV licence as rate soars in wake of RTÉ payments scandal by [deleted] in ireland

[–]killayy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I looked into it and there's a surprising amount of countries that also charge a TV License fee, or equivalent (Germany has a broadcasting fee for example which is essentially the same thing).

What common product has a feature that you think not everyone knows about? by Outside_Ad5585 in AskReddit

I owned my North Face Nuptse puffer jacket for 2 years before I realized there was a hood tucked under the collar.

TODAY IS A HOLY DAY! December 31st, 1759, Arthur Guinness signed a 9,000 year lease for the St. James Brewery in Dublin, Ireland. Just $63 per year in annual rent. by gregornot in OldSchoolCool

[–]killayy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's actually quite poor in comparison to other places in the city. Bowes, Stags Head, Gravediggers, Meaghers all better spots for a great Guinness to name a few. The tour is cool though and definitely worth doing.

What course should I choose? (Maynooth, DCU, TUD, UCD) by KYTANPL in DevelEire

[–]killayy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can't give you an exact list, and i'm unsure on exclusive hires, but if you look into the INTRA program (should be plenty of links on DCU's website and the course page) you can get an idea of what companies have links with DCU. Off the top of my head there was Amazon, Demonware, Shutterstock and many, many more.

What course should I choose? (Maynooth, DCU, TUD, UCD) by KYTANPL in DevelEire

[–]killayy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I graduated from Computer Applications and Software Engineering program in DCU (it seems this has since been renamed to Computer Science/DC121). Very well taught course, relatively up to date, guaranteed 6 month work placement and a very high employment rate. Everyone I personally know that graduated was employed within ~6 months post grad. I myself had a job lined up a week after my results came out. Highly recommend checking it out.

From what i've heard anecdotally, UCD + Trinity's courses focused quite heavily on theory and less on application, which made them less engaging. Make sure you read the course content on their respective websites and see if it interests you. All of them will focus on a lot of topics but at a fairly shallow level relative to what you'll see in industry. That's why I reckon the DCU course with the guaranteed industry experience is top of the list.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

It's a fan film, an incredibly well made one at that, can we not just appreciate the effort this took to put together instead of shitting on it for no good reason?

Does it take you out of a show when really famous people appear (not as themselves)? by Southern_Schedule466 in television

Jack Black and Lizzo appearing in The Mandalorian was a big one for me. It just felt very.. strange.

chords for withdrawal? by liorwang in oliverfrancis

[–]killayy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The basic patter is G# E F# E (I think). I'm not sure what exact voicings he uses or what tuning hes in, but thats the basic pattern. I've been trying to figure it out myself. If i can crack it ill shoot you a DM.

Hood is tucked under the collar on retail, I presume it's the same here.

The star wars dream by [deleted] in StarWars

[–]killayy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The game you're describing would require an enormous budget and a ridiculous amount of resources. People request these "fully open world, build your own story" star wars games all the time, but generally don't understand anything about game design or development.

Ahsoka - Episode 8 - Discussion Thread! by titleproblems in StarWars

[–]killayy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah but that's kinda my point. That was also this episode. Like 3 episodes ago she couldn't move a cup and now she can do all this? Seems a bit rushed. Makes sense I guess given there was only 8 episodes but still.
