I tried different facial expressions and could influence the model from a 8 to 9.

Kinda reminds me of SingStar where I scored better if I simply sung louder - even if I sung a completely different text...

I'm mesmerized that so many of the HN crowd are willing to let some website take pictures of them in order to present some "funny/interesting results".

There are already photos of me on the internet, which can be downloaded and analysed by anybody.

Yup. Though i am having trouble downloading what you did on the 29th of last month. Busy day?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Shops and many other places have had video cameras for decades to deter theft and crime so people are used to it.

They're completely different. This is solely for intimidation purposes. Cameras previously would show a wide angle view of the store so you can see when someone put something under their jacket, etc. I can understand and accept this. In comparison these new cameras have a very swallow angle of view, they're zoomed in on your face and they're in portrait. They would be completely useless if you wanted to see if someon…

Well, I'm covered I guess - still wearing a mask.

Wearing a mask will not protect you from facial recognition technology: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-japan-...

It got a lot correctly about me, and put me at 92% normal.

I wonder if you are too far off "normal" it won't recognize you correctly, eg age.

It seems to be down rn

I always find it funny when .eu websites for projects sponsored by the UE are all using registrar from the USA, and probably hosting all of their data in US datacenters, including code hosted on US platforms And who knows what they do with the sensible data they manipulate as a result How can this still happen nowadays, what a shame and what a waste of EU money It clearly shows their lack of direction, ethics and car…

What are you on about? The registrar for the SHERPAR domain is Italian. hownormalami.eu is a minuscule part of the whole project. And it works offline so there nothing wrong with hosting it in the US when your data never hits their server.

Morpheus: Human beings feel pleasure when they are watched. I have recorded their smiles as I tell them who they are.

It put me at 82% put my age at 20 (I am 34 and visibly graying). This was the project of a student of a local uni so I'm not going to put too much stock in it. But as student projects go it's pretty slick.

I scored a 9 in beauty you ugly fucks. And my expression was happy, unlike all you normal ugly folk.

By moving my face to show my best profile, I managed to get a 10.1 in beauty. Yes, point 1. Don't know if the algorithm was being sarcastic.

My understanding is that these aren't for intimidation but rather to reduce theft by giving people an outside view of themselves. A mirror can also serve this purpose, but may be more difficult to fit in certain spaces. If this is correct, then these cameras aren't recording, just displaying the image directly on the screen.
