Why build a telescope? YOLO, as the kids say. Having decided that, one must decide what type of far-seer one will construct. For his 10″ reflector, [Carl Anderson] once again said “Yolo”— this time not as a slogan, but in reference to a little-known type of reflecting telescope. Telescope or sci-fi laser gun?

Much of the expense of developing AI models, and much of the recent backlash to said models, stems from the massive amount of power they tend to consume. If you’re willing to sacrifice some ability and accuracy, however, you can get ever-more-decent results from minimal hardware – a tradeoff taken by the Grove Vision AI […]

Finally, a useful application for machine vision! Forget all that self-driving nonsense and facial recognition stuff – we’ve finally got an AI that can count cards at the blackjack table. The system that [Edje Electronics] has built, dubbed “Rain Man 2.0” in homage to the classic title character created by [Dustin Hoffman] for the 1988 […]
