For example https://wiki.sipeed.com/soft/maixpy/en/develop_kit_board/mai... has been around for years, and is far far better than it should be, although the resolutions supported by the Pi AI camera are way higher.
The west has been very slow to get into the whole edge inference game.
Genuine request for sources. Whilst i know i could just search the name, i won't. Purely because search is nowadays terrible. However a link to something that further expands on your criticism would be useful.
They keep posting graphs of market capitalisation claiming that Europe must be failing because doesn't have speculative public trading stocks. There's also the top-list theme, making list of top-10 companies by market cap, claiming that if your country doesn't have monopolistic speculative giant public companies you must be failing.
It's very annoying because its very repetitive, I guess they are trying the Goebbles' propaganda technique of keep repeating something until people believe in it.
Someone really really wants to turn the European economy into this short term high growth long term who cares casino that the US has become.
It's so much that it literally pushes young people to have a non-risk taking mindset. I have a friend who has some knife sharpening and tooling skills and she's been figuring how to do something with this (some kind of a business). I suggested why not get a garage and get the machinery you want and get started. She listed down all the regulations and how even thinking about it is not allowed.
Starting a business/startups is hard. The EU just adds 10-20 more hurdles to cross to get even with the US startup ecosystem. At least that's been my observation in the few weeks.
So many cool things can be built with these tools we have now, so much faster. And while doing this, our experience will be useful in companies wanting to integrate these AI tools.
Checkout what's happening with open / local LLMs, tiny LLMs running on RaspberryPIs, LLama3 about to drop any minute now, Google just released a 1-million context model.
Feels incredibly exciting, I'm not able to relate to these posts.
We have encrypted face biometry and fingerprints on them, but no retina. None of the countries I have visited required my retina scan, either.
In the older versions, some data was unencrypted, and most encryption was optional, and someone built a passport scanner and made a talk. I remember that some heads are proverbially rolled and some specifications are updated.
This is mandatory for bank accounts, sim cards and what not. So its practically unlivable without Aadhaar these days.
It's a disaster waiting to happen.
