Sharing my face with my camera with a random website? Sure, what could go wrong... /s
Worth it to be told I am more attractive than 100% of the Spice Girls.
Spice Girls back then or Spice Girls now?

#112I was initially put off by the webcam permission requirement, but the terms and conditions page says it's basically an art project and they don't send any data off (unless you explicitly accept it at the end) so I gave it a chance. I'm glad I allowed webcam permission because it was an interesting, informative, and fun look at biometric tracking. Apparently I'm "violently average" which is not a way I would previousl…
I found that the most shocking. 96% of people who used this didn't read the conditions first.
That's lower than I expected, tbh.

#113Some interesting tidbits: * There's a sortof hidden/unlabelled button - did you press it? * Did you notice the nickname you were given, slowly building up over time? * Do you have resting sad face? Or resting happy face?
>Do you have resting sad face? Or resting happy face?
Or a resting angry face.

#115I'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".
I'm mesmerized that you weren't able to validate that it works completely offline and instead decided to write a comment.

#116I 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 care

#117Pretty cool to see it guess your age and BMI. Lots of interesting information. I also got the score violent average.

#119I think many people commenting on the model making bad predictions are missing the point.
The speaker argues that even though models are known to be inaccurate, companies like tinder or insurance companies might still use the model outputs since they have nothing better.
Therefore, in some future (or already today?) you can suffer from bad model predictions because you are "not normal enough" for the model to make good predictions, and might therefore receive a wrong predicted life expectancy and higher insurance bills.

#120> You are more attractive than 0% of the Spice Girls.
That hurts.
