I find it strange when a company or school won't give me access to their system so I can help them debug an issue they've discovered. The reason is always related to security.

...but they'll willingly run my 100,000+ lines of open-source code without audit or giving it a 2nd thought. #Darknet #YOLO #DarkHelp #DarkMark

It is only a matter of time before someone takes a text configuration file and edits it on both Windows and Linux, resulting in a mix of DOS and Linux EOL.

Had to make this fix in 2 different libraries this morning to trim trailing whitespace while reading in .cfg files:

const size_t pos = line.find_last_not_of(" \t\r\n");
if (pos != std::string::npos)
{
line.erase(pos + 1);
}

Just uploaded a new video showing one of the new features in DarkHelp v1.8 released this morning: https://youtu.be/a7F89PrEbAc #darknet #yolo #darkhelp #cpp #neuralnetwork #objectdetection

What do you do when someone is using your open-source software in a way that is ... illegal ... and asking for help? Do you pass? Do you still help and simply ignore the moral dilemma?

This typically comes up in 2 different ways:

- People who want to cheat at games, such as building aim assists.

- Or people using it to cheat at online gambling to automate making money.

The first ever Python bindings for DarkHelp have been pushed to the repo.

I'm a C++ dev, not python, so I hope it all makes sense.

DarkHelp: DarkHelp Python API

So late last night I pushed the changes needed to implement DarkHelp's C API, which is a subset of the full C++ API. See a description of the API here: https://www.ccoderun.ca/darkhelp/api/DarkHelp__C__API_8h.html#details

About 2 weeks ago I started looking into using SWIG to create Python and C# bindings for DarkHelp, but ran out of steam.

Need to get that going again. #cpp #DarkHelp #neuralnetwork

Latest upload: annotating and training a neural network to do object detection in less than 30 minutes!
