Seyfarth Synopsis: In 2023, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (“FMCSA”) under the Biden administration started accepting public comments about the many petitions for waiver that key stakeholders, including the California Attorney General, had submitted. These petitions sought waivers from the FMCSA’s 2018 determination preempting California and Washington’s meal and rest break rules for truck drivers.

By Ryan McCoy TLDR; I love building models, but I HATE recollecting and reformatting data just to run another model. I'm sharing how I built an automation pipeline to build faster and more productively. Picture this: you've just finished designing the perfect model in a Google Colab notebook. Suddenly, you realize you need to retrain all over again.

Images are the currency of computer vision. While the realm of computer vision often emphasizes cutting-edge models and sophisticated algorithms, it’s essential to recognize that the foundation of any successful project lies in the data it trains on. As the saying goes, “garbage in, garbage out.” This is particularly true in the context of computer vision, where the quality and diversity of your image dataset play a pivotal role in model performance.

Today’s coffee shop lecture is steaming hot with a topic that fuels our digital lives — data compression! Specifically, we’re brewing a showdown between two compression titans: LZMA and DEFLATE. Think of them as different roasts, each with its unique blend of strengths and weaknesses. Imagine you’re drowning in an overflowing to-do list, scribbled on napkins and receipts. That’s your data — uncompressed, messy, and taking up space. Enter LZMA, the master barista.

In the ring of computer vision, a heavyweight title bout is brewing between two contenders: YOLOv8, the lightning-fast flyweight, and EfficientDet, the heavy-hitting bruiser. Both pack a punch for object detection, but their styles are as different as a jab and a haymaker. Agile and quick, this champ dances around complexity, predicting bounding boxes and class probabilities in a single swift move.

Livin’ on the Edge — I’m pretty sure Steven Tyler was singing about edge detection. In computer vision, edge detection is the rockstar sandwiched somewhere between Mick Jagger and Jerry Lee Lewis in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Although one could argue Elvis is the king, edge detection is the backbone for tasks like object recognition, segmentation, and motion tracking.

We are in the age of IoT where data is collected worldwide, yet bandwidth and power consumption limit complex calculations. Traditional machine-learning approaches often require centralizing massive datasets, raising anxieties about data security and ownership. Federated learning (FL) emerged as a powerful solution, enabling collaborative model training across multiple devices without ever sharing raw data.
