0:53 - My brain must've been turned off when I was making that slide. The Coral does 4 TOPS, not 2. And the Hailo-8L is more like 3-4 TOPS/W, not the 8 I put in the slide.

Recall seems like one of the worst possible ideas to highlight as a feature. Not sure what Microsoft was thinking on that one!

[@Darkk6969]

@@JeffGeerling Same here. Biggest concern is privacy. Where is that data really going?

[@distiking]

Recall is an excellent ide but not for windows but for camera glasses. You would never had to look for anything again, not only on windows. The only condition I would use such feature is a machine with no internet connection. All updates would be done via sd card.

[@ts757arse]

I really like the idea of recall. I have a very bad memory and I run a company. I spend a huge amount of time documenting what I've done and ensuring it's searchable. I put it all in a database and have my own LLM able to search it for me in context. It works well enough to be a huge time saving. You tend to hit issues where you're feeding it a lot of context and I don't know how MS can get around that with small, locally run models. What MS is doing is my system, but on steroids. The big downside that means I'll never use it is I don't trust them. My inference server was built by me, configured by me and the data on it is controlled by me. Microsoft have been cracking passwords to people's compressed archives stored on one drive to analyse the contents. The potential of their recall system for really busy people is huge. The risk associated with it is also huge.

[@SequoiaAlexander]

On Trashfuture their guest suggested that systems like recall exist to collect training data. So like if they have a huge library of user interactions they can train some kind of new and potentially very useful type of model. But they should be upfront about that! Ask people to join a testing beta or something. Saying “here I made this for you” and it’s just a surveillance machine is super weird.

[@kenzieduckmoo]

One of the quotes i heard that i really liked was "Its only called AI till it has an actual practical use. Then we just call it what it is". Think things like automatic captioners or OCR tools, or some of the earlier tools of CGI.

[@18earendil]

I guess that Mozilla plans to have local "AI" to create alt texts for images without native alt texts on PDF and web pages visualized through Firefox will have to find a new name if this is correctly implemented. As it solves an actual accessibility problem. (Eg making those images "readable" by a screen reader.)

[@aladdin8623]

So called AI comes actually from early OCR applications many decades ago. The principle concept is still the same namely statistical programming. AI sounds more catchy though in terms of marketing.

[@dafoex]

If it's written in Python, it's Machine Learning. If it's written in PowerPoint, it's AI. I'm an AI apologist, but I want people to research it and find useful tools, not just jump on the hype train. I hold the same feelings about NFTs, a key that is nearly impossible to forge is massively useful if only we could look past selling monkey pictures.

Jeff: don’t forget that you can use a Coral TPU with each USB port as well. A couple of years ago I attempted to use a webcam and coral TPU (based on a KZbin tute) to use eye-gaze and muscle twitch, to control a mouse … to control a PC as a communication device for my late wife who had ALS. However, a much more sophisticated (and $$$$$) device with integrated software was loaned to her by our state ALS support team before I completed it. However, there's a practical use for AI and a raspberry 5 and AI device for probably 10% of the cost of what they provided on loan.

[@ErazerPT]

There are many... My internship back some 7y was research on using SSD512 (YOLO v2(3?) was faster but worse) for machine vision in industrial process inspection, because the price of "all in one" cameras for that field was... eye watering. When a "dumb" model trained in 3 days on an off the shelf GPU on a quite low amount of data coupled with a not fancy "basic" camera totally outperformed the VERY expensive (won't name manufacturer) camera with all it's bells and whistles and a painstakingly hand crafted software solution there was silence in the room. The writing was on the wall. Guess that's why I'm not all that fazed with the current AI hype train. It's not really news. It's like a DC motor. Once you had them, you just had to keep finding more ways to use them. And getting more data and beefier machines to train on ;)

[@noth606]

@@ErazerPT I had basic object recognition and (slow) tracking a bit earlier, running on what best could be described as a heterogeneous i2c "network" of ARM chips, there was a kit with bits of it made that one could buy for a while, and then integrate into/onto an OS hacked Lego NXT to stick onto whatever, in my case a sorta robot platform built of Lego combined with PCB's, screws and bits of alu. The end result could chase a specifically colored ball around, or explore an environment, map it, and search for a specific item - item in this case defined as something it could recognize at 'decent fps' which means about 1-2 at least. If it took more than a sec to recognize something it would move on, it mostly did pick up the 'tagged items' in about half a sec or so. But, the point is that in a funny way my little NN AI Legobot is version 0,001 of the Terminator, looking for its John Connor LOL. I did for a short while program it to try to run over the tagged object in a bid to "terminate" it, but it kept flipping over and the IR sensors of the bot bent out of alignment - so I changed it to just beep instead.

Well, AI can do all manner of things but beyond specific edge cases there isn't much it can do well enough to be worth it.

[@rolyantrauts2304]

@JeffGeerling The Pi does have enough CPU to do detection and just needs to be set up to frigate on overdrive. You can do a low computational alg such as 'Frame Differencing' that is a movement and tracking alg then forward a letterbox centered cut of each object. You don't need to be told its a Cat at 60 FPS as you could even go lower than 1 FPS and you are still tracked and detected. If you ever fancy kickstarting something rather than a all-in-one such a frigate creating a container system for each algs to forward frames to upstream stream bigger models would allow much more flexability for users to mix and match a cascade of containers that record timebased metadata in some form of SRT file. Often an alg such as a Yolo is processing full 1080p whilst you could be cutting and scaling based on the output of a low computaional movement & tracking alg

[@SpartanDiab]

I was going to say I have a security camera making clips of motion already without the need for AI but the example at 4:30 gives a clear example why even this little m.2 ai chip is a huge aid for this stuff, that's quite an improvement in detection already.

I think Raspberry Pi are aiming for the AI kit to be as much of a teaching tool as they are something useful. One of their newer lesson activities is about training your own model to identify apples vs tomatoes, only they get you to train it on just green apples then ask you why it identifies red apples as tomatoes.

I'm really pleased to hear your take on AI. When I was finishing up high school (quite a while ago, now), I had intentions of doing cryptography as a career path. I didn't end up doing that, and I'm kind of glad I didn't; nowadays, when I say "I was very interested in crypto", I have to make sure I add the -graphy to the end. The same thing is happening to people who have spent their lives working on AI (generally) ML (less, though still fairly, generally). Their entire field is being boiled down to spicy auto complete, and it makes it very difficult to do "real" ML work unless you find some way to incorporate the letters LLM into your grant proposal. As an aside, as the crypto hype dies down, I'm considering going back and doing a master's in cryptography. Hopefully the folks like me but in AI don't have to wait as long as I have.

Dude, my question is, what you cannot do? I mean, you know everything!! (I enjoy your videos, man!)

Hi Jeff, this is a really intresting subject and think that it could be useful for an idea i have. I fly RC planes and sometimes i dont have a helper to video my flying, I was thinking if it could recognise my model and then follow it in the sky. This would need a good camera, and a setup for moving the camera, and possiblt zooming in when it gets too far. How about a project like that on your channel?

Your collection of coral modules could be called a coral reef. 🪸

I could see someone making a cheap, open-source outside-in full-body tracking setup for VR using an SBC with an NPU utilizing that pose detection software. Not really useful for much more than social VR apps but way cheaper than even some budget options like SlimeVR

I tried Frigate on a Pi 5 with a usb edge tpu and while the detection worked OK, my 6 cameras were killing the Pi cpu with ffmpeg processes. I went back to my little NUC clone which handles it all with cycles to spare.

I want to see the cool projects that comes out of this!

[@CedroCron]

The possibilities are truly endless... WOW!
