Hi!

I'm the Founder & CTO of Envision. We're building EXACTLY the product you're describing. Envision Glasses is a bunch of computer vision tools built on top of the Google Glass Enterprise Edition 2. We've more than 2000 visually impaired people, across the world, using the Glasses in more than 30 different langauges.

You can check out more informaion here: https://www.letsenvision.com/glasses

P.S: I know the EE2 has been discontinued but we've been working closely with Google to ensure current and future demand is met. We're also experimenting a lot with other exciting off-the-shelf glasses that I can't talk about here but I'm super excited for this whole glasses + AI space!

This is from 2015. What would the HN community recommend as the best possible 'little book about OS development' in 2022?

Thanks.

I would love to see this also for App Store & Play Store Revenues. That would push me to pay for something like this because it's much harder to get that revenue data in real-time .

I agree with this. Showing results is the easiest way to influence people, especially when it comes to software devs and management.

As a manager, I'm more inclined to trust someone who's delivered results even in challenging codebases. It's human.

Envision AI(https://www.LetsEnvision.com/) | iOS Developer | The Hague, Netherlands or REMOTE

Envision AI is a tool that helps people with a visual impairment more independently. It can help them read text from any printed surface, recognise faces of friends and family, personal objects and so much more.

Envision is currently available as an iOS and Android app and we're porting our software to work with smart glasses to give people a more unobtrusive and hands-free experience.

We're currently looking for an iOS developer to push the app to new heights. If you're someone who wants his/her code to make a lasting, direct impact on people's lives then this is the place for you. We use Swift, AVFoundation, TFLite, CoreML & Firebase and pretty much break new ground in mobile AI each month.

We're located in The Hague, The Netherlands and prefer someone onsite. We're also okay with remote folks within the EU.

Please write to us with your resume/cover letter at [email protected]

Envision | Android Developer | Delft,NL | Remote, ONSITE https://www.LetsEnvision.com/

Envision is a tool that speaks out the visual information in front of you using computer vision. It helps visually impaired people read text, recognise faces, objects and so much more. We currently have an iOS and Android app which have more than 3000 MAUs and hundreds of paying subscribers.

We're looking for a good Android developer who can help us continue to develop the app and also expand it's scope to work with IoT devices, etc. This is an incredibly exciting opportunity for people who are interested in computer vision and the current mobile deep learning space.

The app is mostly written in Kotlin and extensively uses TF Lite for deploying computer vision modules. Here's what we're looking for:

1) More than 1 year experience with Android Development. 2) Experience with Java and Kotlin

Though we're based out of Delft, NL. We're also open to Remote applications from across EU. Eventually we would like for the Android developer to move to Delft.

Please send your CV to [email protected].

Envision AI | iOS intern/part-time professional | Remote,On-Site(Delft, NL), Full-time | www.letsenvision.com

Envision AI is a tool that helps people with visual impairment live more independently. We help them read text, recognise faces and objects and describe scenes around them. Our app pushes the current state of the art in mobile deep learning and the product is growing super fast.

We're looking for iOS interns who can help us grow faster from this point. Here's what we're looking for:

1) Knowledge of Swift. 2) Experience with AVFoundation. We're not looking for AVFoundation experts but a basic understanding helps.

Envision AI | iOS Developer | Delft, The Netherlands | Remote/Onsite, Fulltime | www.letsenvision.com

We're building a visual recognition platform that's helping visually impaired people live more independently. This is currently in the form of an iOS app. We're growing pretty fast and need a full time iOS intern or a professional part-timer who can give us 25-30 hours a week minimum. We're okay with remote applications from around the world.

We're currently working on the cutting edge in deep-learning on mobile space. This would be a great opportunity to break new ground together. We're also very active in the iOS Accessibility community and have given talks/workshops in a lot of leading EU accessibility conferences.

Here's what we're looking for:

- Experience with Swift.

- Experience with AV Foundation.

- Working knowledge of Node.js.

- Experience with Obj-C, OpenCV/Core Image is a plus.

You can write to us at [email protected]. Please send us your CV and some of the apps you've worked on as a sample.

DeepL is what I use for European language translations. I wish they added more languages and maybe a nice app like Google Translate. It blows every other translation service out of the water.

Link seems to be down.

Can't agree more with you. Especially about the back and forth rejections. It's insane how easily such apps escape the scrutiny of apple's review team.

Image text recognition is a major problem we're trying to solve in our startup. I would love to be pointed to some SOTA research in this space. Hard to find anything by Googling about it.

As far as our experience goes, Cloud Vision API is a killer option compared to both AWS and MSFT. It's pricier than AWS though and is slower. MSFT is terrible in both price and speed.

It all depends on the team size and the where the company is at. We're a 2 member team and for all intents and purposes code quality takes a backseat. It's not outright ignored but there are a few shortcuts that i take that will hopefully not bite us. All in the interest of shipping things faster. I end up refactoring code at nights after we've pushed to the app store.

In a previous startup that I worked in code quality was outright ignored and I saw first hand the kind of technical debt that builds up because of this.

I would love to get started with data analysis. Could anyone point me to a reliable guide that gets me started on the bascis. I'm pretty well versed with Python and have used Pandas before as part of some side projects.

Thanks!

I would say that this title is misleading. A lot of what is presented there needs a strong grasp of deep learning(and the other underlying concepts behind them.), without which all you'll do is load the examples on Xcode and run them.

Moreover, I would probably encourage people to read examples of Tensorflow or Caffe2 running on iOS rather than something like Forge. Forge is an interesting project but won't really help you if you don't have a clue about MPS or Deep Learning.

I can second Serverless. Apart from being quite a powerful tool, it also has a nice experience overall.

I laughed more than I should at this line.

In India, most people I know use ClearTax. It's freemium(the last 3 years I've only used the free version, that was enough.) and I spent only about 20 minutes or so every year filing my taxes. Everything becomes super simple with Form 16, given out by my employer. And apart from this the government has an e-filing system but I've never used it. ClearTax was enough.

I can totally vouch for the ease with which you can setup your deep learning AMI. I followed the instructions on the site and the scripts provided by Jeremy abstract a lot of the stuff away. Super cool work!

Superintelligence by nick bostrom. It's a book that explores how superintelligence could emerge, the different ways it can take off and what it means to us as humans. More importantly, the book takes on the difficult task of figuring out ways to make sure the AI is safe and not land up in the wrong hands. Pretty interesting read that doesnt really require technical know-how.

I've been looking around in a few places but I can't find a way to use XLA to compile tensorflow models for mobile devices. Is there a tutorial/blogpost by google(or anyone for that matter) talking about it? Thanks!

super cool to see this here. do the lecture videos go up the same day as the lectures?
