If you have any other “dude does cool AI shit with a box of scraps in a cave”, I’m all EARS.md


BirdNet, from Cornell University, is pretty cool. I’ve got a RasPi4 that’s been running birdnet-pi for about a year and a half, seems pretty accurate based on the birds I see in my backyard. It’ll also run on a $20 Pi Zero 2.
