So many cool projects on HN this week!
For OpenCV classification tutorials this is another great resource to keep playing around with DIY projects. FYI avoid his email list unless you enjoy 3-4 sales emails every week.

#23This is the project I am planning to do with my son as he's getting interested in computers and loves nature. The rough aims are - > Rasp Pi + Camera/PIR to photograph birds > Connect to internet and post to wp, twitter and instagram The final aim is to add an AI component to see if we can detect birds and keep a count

#26This is an awesome family xmas project. I don't have an old pc around to run YOLO / YOLO Tiny constantly though; can anyone recommend a cheap, suitable server provider for this? AWS EC2?
Don't you have a computer with a decent GPU? I have trained YOLOv2 on a GTX 1050. A night of training (and starting from pre-trained lower layers) yields good results depending on your application.
Inference is cheap. I suspect even a Rasberry Pi may be enough.

#28This article inspired me to have a play around with Darknet and Darkflow - turns out they're pretty easy to get going on an OS X laptop with Python 3 (installed via Homebrew). Here's how I got Darkflow working: https://gist.github.com/simonw/0f93bec220be9cf8250533b603bf6... For Darknet, I just ran "make" as documented here: https://pjreddie.com/darknet/install/ and then followed the instructions on https://pjreddie.c…
Off-topic, but I am curious what you are using for your OS X laptop. I'm assuming from your choice of wording that it isn't Apple hardware and am interested in your experience with what is working well for a non-Apple OS X machine and how happy you are with it.
