The content of this article is pretty cool...but if I had to come up with a HN title that a deep learning process would surmise would do extremely well, it would be literally this. Or maybe "Show HN: How to use deep learning to optimize honey production from beehives"

edit: The title of the submission has been changed; originally, it was something like "Using Deep Learning to Keep Cats off the Lawn"

Although incredibly off topic (the Cats = upvotes meme isn't even true on Reddit), a submission title's phrasing is not the primary cause of a HN story's success/failure. (and the proposed Show HN would make me raise an eyebrow in thinking the post is linkbait and cause me to flag it)

How necessary is the deep model there? It seems like a simple motion detector would work just as well since he doesn't mention using the lawn himself.

Looks like there is a sidewalk through the lawn. Which probably means using a motion detector would force him to sacrifice using the front door.
