Awards

Kerala State Film Awards:

gollark: There are other neat ones like the inner ear orientation sensor thing, which you could emulate with those cheap accelerometer/gyroscope modules.
gollark: I mean, they all "matter" somewhat, but I guess I would consider those among the more important ones.
gollark: You gather much data, train the neural networks on high-powered hardware, then *use* the trained one for inference on lower end stuff.
gollark: ... what?
gollark: As far as I'm aware most actually-used artificial neural network things don't do that anyway.
