It did nothing"]]>We tried that, wasn't a big lift to setup and tested. We used 1000 detections with at least 4 crops, and it made a bit of a difference but not much - our conclusion remains the same.

This entire article is silly as AI has been poisoned so bad, ask any AI bot today what Fortnite is and they will give you long detailed answers, even though it doesn't exist at all.

WASM isnt a worst VM; it’s a diffrent trade off: portable, fast start, capability scoped compute without shiping a OS. Raw device still have their place (servers). If you need safe distribution + performance thats “good enough” WASM in the browser is going to be the future of client.

ONVIF.org will come after you with trademark threats. Doesn’t matter if your product really supports it, or if it’s even open source. They’ll tell you to delete “ONVIF-compatible” unless you cough up for their $20,000/year membership.

It feels backwards ... engineers need to say if things interoperate, customers search for “ONVIF” to check compatibility, yet instead of helping adoption they act like brand cops. Is this normal for “open standards”? Or is ONVIF.org just uniquely hostile here? I don't think they are right here, but having released a completely free product and got a trademark and a demand for 20k a year and being told I cannot use the word ONVIF in any way shape or form seems insane! Thoughts?
