The signal to noise in fitness apps is high. The mainstream ones don’t do this, or if they do the implementation is so bad it’s not worth using, and discovery of anything else is fraught with shitware that wants a subscription to “unlock” it’s unknown potential.

Yeah you mean low

Not sure why you got flagged, so I have vouched - I did indeed mean "low".

> But if you are successful, there is a chance of getting sherlocked, so its a risky business model. What does this even mean? Watson shows up to help out?

Watson was an independent search application on Mac OS, until Apple basically photocopied it and named theirs Sherlock. Since then it's become a verb for when Apple takes your app and builds it into the OS. Another blatant example was Dashboard, which copied Konfabulator, Night Shift is a copy of F.lux, etc.

When they demonstrated on-desktop widgets the other day, I thought to myself “there goes Konfabulator/Dashboard 2.0”, and then I thought to myself “you’re old enough to remember that and to be caustically cynical”.

Seems logical, most people interact with their pets which are mostly cats and dogs. Horses will probably be next

Short-legged pets like hamsters and rabbits might be trickier. vs goldfish, which are easier: the pose is simply "Live" or "Dead".

This is entering Monty Python territory.

We had tried their vision framework for pose, the accuracy was not great compared to other open source models. Hope they solve the issues with the new release.

@lgrebe: Check XTRAVISION and let me know if that is what you were looking for. Demo: https://demo.xtravision.ai/
