Unless every browser ignores them. Then what they’re going to fine Microsoft, Google, and Mozilla and declare the internet illegal in France?

It just seems so absurd I can’t take it seriously. There’s zero way to make this actually work. If they want to ban websites they’d have to go full China on it.

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.

Oh my god. Absolute dumbasses at the record companies actively trying to act evil. Barely anybody will stream these and it sure isn’t so malicious of the ‘store’ selling these records is doing it for free.

I mean how many people are actually going to buy these ever again? Also their damage claims are per usual pulled from the oceangate depths of their ass.

If anyone remembers when torrenting was big and the riaa was essentially claiming something like 20%+ of the US economy’s value in lost profits. These people don’t munch on crayons, but they really should start because it would be a more intelligent hobby to take up.

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.

Predictable. Biased datasets and company execs who can tell AI from their own ass.

The sooner assholes who don’t know the pitfalls and limitations of AI get punished for this stupidity the better off society will be.

But I’m not holding my breath based on the money around it.

This is both awesome and depressing.

Awesome he’s doing this.

Depressing it’s come to starting businesses in a god damn stairwell.

Cheat code pcp for god mode.

Straight to jail.

Yeah and they broke bots which actually were core to certain subs. The quality of say Buildapcsales isn’t what it was.

Yep. I also didn’t think this would work as well as it does. Remarkably good platform so far.

This is actually awesome to see. Sadly the main thing holding Linux back is still just momentum. And for a lot of people MS word. Even if the free suites are pretty good nowadays.

People often forget what the medical research and medical authorities say are not always the same.

See heart disease for another one of these fun ones.

I suggest you read the research papers on Lyme and form your own decision too. The CDC is hardly comprehensive.

Like the fact that the infection can actually remain dormant and undetectable in people for long periods of time.

I’m also pretty sure the estimates on number of people who get Lyme per year vary wildly depending on who you want to believe.

Actually here is the cdc saying 476k

https://www.cdc.gov/lyme/stats/humancases.html#:~:text=Q%3A CDC also states that,is this number so different%3F

Anyways. Lyme is a tricky one because not everyone has a reaction and it’s impossible to say how many people are carrying it dormant.

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.
