Let’s face it: if you’ll be able to’t consider a fire-breathing billionaire industrialist to give protection to your stuff, who are you able to consider? (Video, embedded beneath.)
This one is directly out of the In reality Dangerous Concepts information, and involves us from [Marc Radinovic]. His tale in this one is that he needs to give protection to the stuff in his new space, and felt {that a} face-recognition machine with a flame thrower can be the easiest way to deal with that. And to one way or the other make it even higher, mentioned machine can be constructed into a ludicrous portrait of everybody’s favourite plutocrat. The center of the machine are just about what you’d be expecting — a digicam and a Raspberry Pi working OpenCV and a face reputation library, a butane reservoir and a solenoid valve, an arc lighter as an ignition supply, and an Arduino and a few utterly no longer sketchy in any respect wiring to keep watch over all items. And LCD presentations for [Elon]’s eyes, in fact.
The machine is educated to acknowledge [Marc]’s face and greets him cheerfully when he’s in view. [Non-Marc] other folks, on the other hand, are handled a little bit much less accommodatingly, as much as and together with a face-melting fireball. Effigies of different billionaires were given the remedy; unusually, [Marc]’s face-recognition set of rules didn’t even acknowledge some other [Mark] as a human face, which whilst you take into accounts it’s beautiful darn humorous.
So, under no circumstances a sensible safety machine, and for sure no longer one thing you must construct, nevertheless it’s beautiful just right amusing anyway. It reminds us a little bit of the fire-breathing duck we noticed years in the past.
Due to [JK] for the top.
