i've written about this multiple times on HN and always got downvoted

I work in the CV industry and this was a very badly kept secret. There is absolutely no financially feasible way to run something like this with current CV




i'm curious to know what the limitations of the technology are. Are the machine learning/CV algorithms not accurate enough to run it at scale?


I work with ML CV industrial systems, and they can certainly do accurate and detailed analysis and identification very quickly. The systems that do this are also necessarily very, very expensive -- much more expensive than any grocery store could possibly justify.

Of course, costs change with time, but right now I don't see how this sort of application could approach being financially feasible.
