#172ok. a similar idea, you should put a camera outside your door and do the same for passing dogs.

#174This is the coolest thing on HN that I've seen in a minute. The whole thing is a perfect blend of ideas with the end result of something that feels... magical. Honestly this is the highest inspiration to me as a builder as I just want to create magical experiences, even if they are just small oddities.
> This is the coolest thing on HN that I've seen in a minute. Off-topic, but what is up with the increased use of the phrase "in a minute", presumably to mean "in a long time", lately? I've only started encountering it in the past year. Did it get popularized by some celebrity, tv show, influencers, etc?
It's been around in slang for a few years with a few variants, e.g. "I haven't seen her in a hot minute." I think it's just filtered into wider cultural vernacular.

#175I've been leveraging Birdnet-2.4 as well, but also ultrasonic-pass and activity-v1 to do broader detection with an ecological targeted microphone. This means I can capture not just bird sounds but also bats and some insects, and acoustic events such as jets and cars. Applying heterodyne transformations to the bat recordings makes them audible which is fascinating, especially when you catch them in a feeding frenzy. S…
>I've been leveraging Birdnet-2.4 as well, I love HN
Yep, when it's humans nerding it's awesome

seems like you know what you're talking about 5k% increase starting in July this year https://trends.google.com/explore?q=I%27ve%20seen%20in%20a%2...
I think the trend is probably misleading. A popular youtuber may have released a video in August with a title containing "in a minute".

Hmm. The project uses BirdNET-Go, which does inference locally on a Raspberry Pi. Then it looks up the species against a set of already existing illustrations. So in this case it seems like the "ultra expensive, data-center-driven AI" is not really involved in the core loop of this project.
The local inference is a product that came out of the data-center-driven AI.
Incorrect. As others have pointed out, BirdNet is a “traditional” neural network. The amount of compute needed to train something like this is many orders of magnitude less than an LLM. Something like this could be trained on local hardware with enough juice, or by renting a handful of GPU’s

Do you use AudioMoth embedded mic?
