#82Make available in Norway stores please! I want to be able to know what I am eating...

#83Why wasn't it called "Hotdog or Not" ? to avoid copyright infringement ?
They own the copyright.
Re: Not Hotdog App
#84Will it be released world wide
I second this, world wide release would be nice. It's a shame how many "locale neutral" apps end up walled in on the US app store. Is there any specific reason why this happens, just seems to me like you get worse reach and no benefits? Especially for a marketing stunt like this.
Crypto export restrictions, I believe

Don't apologize here. Apologize on the product page for this and all other similar things you do in the future to reduce amount of surprise for customers (and as a result also enmity created towards you).
And the World's Most Entitled comment award goes to... The authors of this app don't owe you anything and are entitled to sell it in whatever countries they so choose. Additionally, the app doesn't even get listed in countries it's not available in. The only reason you and other non-US users (such as myself) are able to see it is because the OP posted a link to the US version of the app store on a forum where the vas…
The author of the software disagrees with you, otherwise his response here would not have included the word "sorry": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14347371
Also, the show this app is based on is accessible to an international audience.

It's actually written in React Native with a fair bit of C++ (TensorFlow), and some Objective-C++ to glue the two. One cool thing we added on top of React Native was a hack to let us inject new versions of our deep learning model on the fly without going through an App Store review. If you thought injecting JavaScript to change the behavior of your app was cool, you need to try injecting neural nets, it's quite a fee…
This looks great, haha! Shame I can't access it from the UK. It would be really interesting to read more about your thoughts on working with RN and C++ and perhaps how you did some of it. I'm currently doing the same (but with a C++ audio engine rather than image processing stuff) and I think it's an incredibly powerful combination - but I do feel like I'm making up some interop patterns as I go and there might be be…
Sounds like you're further ahead than I was with the React Native part! Not Hotdog is very simple so I just wrote a simple Native module around my TensorFlow code and let the chips fall where they may performance-wise. The snap/analyze/display sequence is slow enough that I don't need to worry about fps or anything like that. As much as I enjoyed using RN for this app, I would probably move to native code if I needed to be able to tune performance.

How does one get this job? This sounds ridiculously fun.
It was random, I was already working on the show as what Hollywood calls a (technical) “consultant”: advising on storylines, dialogue, background assets, etc. When this idea popped up, someone suggested we build the app for real. We took a try and ended up building the entire thing in-house with the crew, as opposed to hiring an external agency to do it for us.
How long did it take you to build the app? How many devs worked on it and who got to feed the training data set?

Hey so I actually tried Vgg, Inception and SqueezeNet, out of the box, chopped and trained from scratch (SqueezeNet only for the latter due to resource constraints). We ended up with a custom architecture trained from scratch due to runtime constraints more so than accuracy reasons (the inference runs on phones, so we have to be efficient with CPU + memory), but that model also ended up being the most accurate model…
As someone currently writing an app which uses a retrained Inception model, I watched the show pointing and laughing (and then crying) at the same issues and frustrations. The accuracy of the show and especially this episode has been just brilliant. Thanks for sharing all the tech details too, it's been great to read. I'm even more amazed to see it as a real app, that I didn't expect!

It would be relatively easy to port to Android. Please open source it!

#90DANM! I wanted to start learning NN and write an app after watching the Silicon Valley episode. You beat me to it. Congrats.
