A friend works in construction and they have details of how much materials each part of a construction needs. Most of it comes directly from the (not sure the name) SW they use to calculate the structure/ draw the plans.

I was going to say, I don't understand what this does that Revit doesn't already do better. I guess it's a fun demo, but I doubt this was a problem that needed solving.

Do you think the same could be used for other cases? I'm thinking about detecting problems with cars (vehicles) just by the noise they make

I know google has general sound classifiers like Yamnet, trained on youtube data but they are not very good for specific usecases. So you would have to create a custom model for you usecase.

How far has your thinking taken you? This has piqued my interest on how many fields audio can be used to solve problems

just thinking, I've talked with a mechanic but he told me that now when they connect the car to a computer they almost always find anything wrong with a car, that and the experience they have they almost always know what's wrong.

I think sound + location could be really interesting, because you can filter parts of the car that could be making noises that are similar knowing where the mic is.


They serve so many sites that they are probably the best test there's now.

Probably because it makes sense to be building AI related stuff, so no one is working on that.

They even used to have an option to get notifications when new images for an area became available.

The latest update (that i made, i only update when asked) to the app doesn't allow to disable the suggestions anymore, before if you tapped twice everything except the map and your location disappeared.


I think reporting mileage would be one of the only usages for data collection that is ok with me.

In some countries there's a SCAM in which the owner or agency lowers the mileage of the car and sell it for much more because of the lower mileage.


This is harder on modern cars. Mechanical odometers were fairly easy to roll back, modern digital odometers are quite well protected.


They aren't. Even for brands like BMW, Mercedes, etc.


It's hard to take any piece of text seriously when it contains all-caps'd emotionally charged words seemingly just to make sure we notice that they're there.


SORRY


For me the opposite is happening. More emails are getting flagged that aren't spam.


You don't need a brazilian tax ID to use PIX, I've used it from MercadoPago from another country and there are a lot of options to use it besides MP.


Well .. How did you register to MercadoPago? I never was able when I was in Argentina (end of last year). It also asked me for some official IDs in Argentina which is even harder to get than a CPF (or probably impossible as a non-resident, I didn't bother at that point)


With MP you need an official ID, but there are some crypto apps that have pix and allow to register with a passport.


They are in a great position to generate a lot of value without rising prices, they haven't realized it yet because what they have to do is pretty boring.


I applied a few months ago and didn't get on the test program
