Cake is watching you: I built a camera cake

  • What is this Viam? Looks like something like NodeRed? There are too many AI related buzzwords in the website and I am genuinely not able to understand what the product and the (opensource?) viam-server is about.

  • I think lightbulb cameras would be better for long term surveillance.

    Naturally connected to a long term power supply and easier to hide cabled networking to avoid emissions.

    Extracting faces might be more difficult, but that’s “just a software problem”.

  • once the article started listing the software and hardware components, I was expecting a recipe for the cake too :)

  • You can print images on cakes.

    You could make a cake that takes pictures and gives you a cake with the picture.

  • I appreciate the hardware side but shuddered when I read the words “cake mix.”

  • if "competition is for losers" is the axiom, "confectionary roboticist" literally takes the cake. very cool. very inspirational

  • "The cake is a lie"

  • Covered with eyes: biblically correct angel food cake.
