TL;DR: does OK with light skin tones, not so well with darker skin tones, fails at greyscale and low quality images, will eat CPU like there's no tomorrow.

Is it weird that I immediately thought this was coded to help people find more porno?

Only after a minute or so did I consider that its primary purpose might be to help people implement porno-blocking software, ie the exact opposite.

I am such a bro :(

Potential HN karma hack: create new account and post stories from Reddit that haven't already appeared.

That's not necessarily what happened here, but I am slightly suspicious.

I can almost see the jokes about "i want to see the unit tests" and "doesn't work on furries or avatar porn" etc. On a more serious note, this sort of stuff is hard. Google images does a shitty job of it from some slightly unexpected experiences. Good on people for having a go at the problem!

I had a similar idea, this might be interesting to use server side with node and a scraper for flickr, imgur, or photobucket.

I don't see how this is stupid. Personally, the more I understand how technology works, the more I find myself not trusting big parts of it. In particular, I don't expect nudity detection to work well at this point in time, especially given that typical image processing algorithms are heuristics that feel like smart hacks at best.

Why is that a hack? I've done that a few times, and vice-versa. Not really for karma, but because I thought people would find the stories interesting.
