      yeah but this one will actually not work as expected, shoot someone in the eye then gaslight you telling you it’s your fault that you needed to buy more subscription credits for it to kinda work better

          The foundation of the system is its visual model, which Cheng trained on a custom mosquito dataset. To do that, he relied on a DSLR camera with a high-magnification zoom lens, capturing detailed images of mosquitoes for training data.

          So, machine vision model. Cooler project, less clicky title.

            vision models is what truly broke the barrier. neil degrasse tyson likes to teplace the word “ai” with the generic term “computing”. he made the point that before “ai” every advamcement in computing was just called computing. now we give this mystical reverence to this new tech and call it “ai”. whether you hype it or hate it, you give it yok much power.

            when adobe could remove an onject from a photo we said “cool tech” now its “ai”. there really are cool fun tools buy its hard yo find people online to have a down to earth conversation about them. there are people offline i talk to but it would be cool to coolaborayr more

          Its unfortunate how big tech has hacked the word AI to mostly mean these LLM based chatbots or agents.

          Even when LLMs are like tiny subset of AI technologies out there.

            I actually think DLSS5 isn’t that terrible and part of the reason it was so hated was because of “AI”. I see it similar to graphic mods or Ray reconstruction (DLSS 4.5), just another tech. Don’t like it? Don’t use it. Me, on the other hand, want to actually see this happen in real-time, one day. I imagine we could even see proper filters in the future (like this).

              As a technology DLSS5 feels a lot like Nvidia RTX remix where game can be modded to look very different from how it was originally intentended to look. If it can be achieved with local hardware it’s fine, if it needs internet connection, subscription and huge data-center then not so much.

                DLSS has always been local. I’ve never heard about anything cloud-related when it comes to DLSS. The DLSS5 demo was also local.

      the one from 13 years was about killing flying mosquito and it was later turned out to be fraud (sorry original project wasn’t a fraud but it never went into production see replies to this comment).

      This uses equipment worth thousands of dollars to kill stationary mosquitos (standing on a white wall).

      Maybe it works but it will not “wipe out” his mosquito problem. most mosquitos would be hanging out under your desk where your feet are.

        […] it was later turned out to be fraud.

        Huh? That’s news to me. Any source?

          i double checked after I saw your comment:

          The original project “Photonic Fence” is real and theoretically work however it never turned into a product because it requires very expensive components to identify and kill a mosquito in the fraction of a second it passes in front of the device not to mention the risk of that laser reflecting on something and blinding a passing person.

          However other products with same concept are for sale currently and those are the fraud.

          I apologize for the misinformation in my original comment

          I think it’s the smell. I remember some scientist did a experiment where he sat in a room full of mosquitoes and counted the bites to different parts of the body. He got most bites in the feet but when he washed them and tried the mosquitoes stopped attacking feet more than other body parts.

          1. Much harder for you to kill
          2. under your desk is a safe dark place.
          3. Mosquito could wait there for you to come the next day
