| floridagram-bot | <ahoneybun> oh no. | 02:58 |
| floridagram-bot | <Ivoriesablaze> those seem like very... uh... peculiar names | 02:58 |
| floridagram-bot | <ahoneybun> Nice new mat for my keyboard and mouse. | 03:10 |

| floridagram-bot | <Luke Van Dervoort> would using a captcha or something help alieviate all those? | 13:21 |
| floridagram-bot | <KMyers> @Luke Van Dervoort, Not an option as far as I can tell. I removed all of the single named ones and re-generated the link late last night. I have a feeling that one of those accounts was inviting the spam accounts | 13:45 |
| floridagram-bot | <Luke Van Dervoort> And I hate those things | 13:45 |
| floridagram-bot | <KMyers> @Luke Van Dervoort, I do as well, and with modern computer vision, they are becoming less effective by the day | 13:46 |
| floridagram-bot | <SivaMachina> What you don't like to play Whack-a-Bot? | 13:59 |
| floridagram-bot | <Luke Van Dervoort> Ha, not my job man | 13:59 |
| floridagram-bot | <Luke Van Dervoort> @KMyers, Really?? Not surprised. Technology moving much faster than I can keep up | 14:00 |
| floridagram-bot | <KMyers> @Luke Van Dervoort, I know, it is mine | 14:01 |
| floridagram-bot | <KMyers> @Luke Van Dervoort, Yes, especially with things like the Movidius, it brings edge computer vision to users without making a massive investment in expensive GPUs | 14:02 |
| floridagram-bot | <KMyers> The Movidius is only $109 on Amazon for example - https://amzn.to/2tw1ib2 | 14:03 |
| floridagram-bot | <KMyers> No clouds or internet connectivity required | 14:03 |
| floridagram-bot | <Luke Van Dervoort> Huh | 14:04 |
| floridagram-bot | <KMyers> It is a USB dongle that contains Intel's edge vision processing unit (VPU). Developers can use it to run complicated computer vision tasks on a low powered device such as a raspberry pi without the need of offloading it to a cloud or a desktop with several GPUs | 14:06 |
| floridagram-bot | <KMyers> I have been messing with one and am able to pull off 37 FPS on a older computer | 14:06 |
| floridagram-bot | <Luke Van Dervoort> Wow | 14:07 |
| floridagram-bot | <KMyers> Intel has the following use case - if you wanted to make a custom drone that uses computer vision to identify objects and navigate around dangerous objects - streaming the video to a cloud based setup for analysis will take a few seconds to do (assuming you have a strong high speed connection). Those seconds can mean the difference between the drone reacting or crashing into a building | 14:12 |
| floridagram-bot | <KMyers> Normally the compute power to do this at a reasonable speed would require a decent computer and a GPU with some CUDA cores. That is not something that you can fit on a drone due to weight | 14:12 |
| floridagram-bot | <Luke Van Dervoort> Ok, that makes sense now. So they needed to carry that capability along | 14:12 |
| floridagram-bot | <KMyers> The VPU solves this by simply using a Pi | 14:13 |
| floridagram-bot | <Luke Van Dervoort> A lot of applications in robotics in general then | 14:13 |
| floridagram-bot | <KMyers> But as it is insanely inexpensive (under $120), scammers, spammers and bots can also leverage the same technology to beat captcha and other challenges to prove you are a human | 14:14 |
| floridagram-bot | <Luke Van Dervoort> Wow, amazing | 14:15 |
| floridagram-bot | <KMyers> As the Movidius runs offline, it can also be used in places where you would not want to trust a cloud provider with sensitive information. Examples can include OCR in documents and other private matters | 14:25 |
| floridagram-bot | <KMyers> It is also pretty open, intel's SDK is open source and the sample code is well documented. It only takes a bit of python to get started (although there are samples for many languages) | 14:26 |
| floridagram-bot | <Luke Van Dervoort> Well that's cool | 14:27 |
| maxolasersquad | FWIW I implemented a captcha on our company's website and we went from multiple spam messages a day to none in about a year. | 15:18 |
| floridagram-bot | <KMyers> @maxolasersquad, It will help with some but I suspect that it will not be effective for too much longer. | 15:19 |
| floridagram-bot | <KMyers> I have a few tricks of my own that stop them. My blog for example will catch attempts to post comments on pages were you would not normally need to post comments (the main page, article listings, etc) and blacklists the IP address. There is no form to enter comments so it is safe to assume that any POST attempts with comments are automated | 15:21 |
| floridagram-bot | <SivaMachina> Taft & University | 16:46 |
| floridagram-bot | <KMyers> Gas is going up. I paid $2.09 yesterday | 16:55 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> @KMyers | 17:04 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> Was at the cvs | 17:04 |
| floridagram-bot | <KMyers> Cold Brew... I need to try that | 17:05 |
| floridagram-bot | <KMyers> Who is up to see Altea Battle Angel this weekend? | 17:17 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> Meeeee | 17:45 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> I want to rewatch it in imax | 17:45 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> The fight scenes were the best ever | 17:45 |
| floridagram-bot | <KMyers> Is it playing at the Ft Lauderdale IMAX? | 17:46 |
| floridagram-bot | <KMyers> Sweet, it is | 17:46 |
| floridagram-bot | <KMyers> It is not an IMAX, it is THE IMAX | 17:46 |
| floridagram-bot | <KMyers> @RazPi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRLfGwQ7Nsw&feature=share | 17:49 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> XD I love that | 18:28 |
| floridagram-bot | <KMyers> Anyone else up for a movie? | 18:29 |
| floridagram-bot | <RazPi> @everyone | 18:29 |
| floridagram-bot | <ahoneybun> @KMyers since you're handling a lot of the LoCo stuff do you think you could setup the IRC-Telegram bot on your server? I need to reset all of my servers and downsize a bit. | 18:40 |
| floridagram-bot | <KMyers> @ahoneybun, Sure. I wont be able to do that until this weekend - crazy few weeks at work. I can spin up a VM if you want to give it a stab. | 18:42 |
| floridagram-bot | <ahoneybun> No rush on it. I want to take down both of the servers from Linode as I don't think I'm using it that much other then the website and the bot. The bigger one is staying for my Bitwarden setup. | 18:43 |
