Are these deaths only in this gang war?

Really puts in perspective how atrocious American cities are for gun deaths…. This is barely the typical first quarter of the year.

Yup. And now the founder is rich when he really should be in jail.

Yup. This is really the worst part. I am a village idiot. So if i do it at home that’s fine.

But then again the shit I see at work sometimes…

Yeah they do. The device current issue is one of time. If they coded it properly they could keep the pi asleep at almost all times, but seeing as they used one in the first place I have my doubts.

Essentially it would make the scooter drain from just sitting vs being able to sit for weeks until a rider hops on.

I swear they probably followed an instructables to found the startup…

But why not an ESP32 or something that’s really well supported but better matched to their use case? Rpi screams ‘I read an article on how to connect my leds to Wi-Fi once’ levels of competence.

But I suppose if it was a half baked grift of sorts then it checks out haha. Even if that grift was more of an egotistical and not intentionally sourced grift.

This is what I mean. It’s not like they are running some kind of image processing or literally anything heavy.

Just seems way over the top. Also my bet is it they didn’t bother with bespoke hardware they probably didn’t do much to power optimize.

This is such a terrible application. These things would drain their battery just running the pi and electronics. Why such a high power platform for such basic functionality?

This screams of free money flooding startups. Amateur hour.

Straight to jail.

He is spot on.

Algorithms and AI aren’t even any different. AI is literally a complex system of nonlinear functions. It’s not black magic.

If I wrote a traditional nonlinear alto with computer optimized parameters it only differs from ML models in that it’s less complex. Not understanding your product is not a defense.

As LTT said. Threads is the result of the Zuck flicking his tongue out and tasting blood.

But I mean we (society, not me, miss me with that) are still clearly subscribing to a social media site run by the lizard people and calling it an improvement.

Which says a lot.
