be aware, at least in Chrome, once you give teachablemachine.withgoogle.com permission to use you camera, unless you revoke that permission is has permission to use your camera without further permission including from iframes. In other words every ad from and analytics from Google could start injecting camera access.

I wish chrome would give the option to only give permission "this time" and I wish it didn't allow camera access from cross domain iframes.

Good to know, but thankfully easy to remove permissions from the settings.

But won’t it be on just that FQDN alone? Google analytics and ads are served from a totally different domain. What’s the actual concern here?

You can solve problems using Machine learning without coding from a while ago.. azure machine learning have this features from more than a year ago. I've solve regression, classification and recommendation problems with it and the best part is it deploys an web service with a few clicks.

But you would need to have: 1 a working phone 2 a valid credit card To use azure which places a too high bar on students. I mean I've tried to argue for graduated restrictions so basically students with .edu emails should be able to do some things without entering a credit card number but the fact that it is not possible suggests this isn't a priority for azure. Google says this finds on your browser so there's littl…

There is a student offer that doesn’t require credit card https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/offers/ms-azr-0144p/

Am I the only paranoid one who thinks this is just Google's way of capturing millions of faces in their database? Or did Apple beat them to it?

What did Apple beat them to? FaceID is said to not upload data off-device.

So you are contending we are secure via DNS?

I don't have a camera here. Did anyone try it? How does it work?

Surprisingly well! It's a really well put together demo & tutorial. I held a pen up next to me and held the green button. Then did the same with a mouse. It would flick between the two if I was holding nothing, so I held the orange button for a bit while holding nothing. Worked pretty much every time. Training is fast enough with a few hundred images per class that I didn't notice any delay.

What do you mean exactly by "held the green button"?

I can't run the demo here (browser not capable enough, and no camera) and I'm getting really curious what this is about.
