if you double click the coreml file in a mac and open xcode there is a profiler you can run. the profiler will show you the operations it's using and what the bit depth is.

cheers for the tip, I'll give it a go

Not having a congested CGNAT in the mix at 4pm every day is a nice benefit.

Why shouldn't I get my cut, then? Why do they get to double dip? The point of the dash cam is that the data is ephemeral unless it's actually needed because something exceptional happened.

  > Why shouldn't I get my cut, then?

They do offer to pay you for it, which you'd know if you read the article.

OP obviously read the article; please don’t be aggressive.

So you pay $20/month to be able to earn some crypto-coins they generate out of thin air to be used for...

If they aren't paying the equivalent of whatever the government allows you to deduct for 'wear and tear' on your vehicle then you're basically just subsidizing their data collection.

I don't even have an opinion on this, you do you.

--edit--

Oh, I saw down thread they're primarily a fleet services company and that explains a bunch. $20/month per car probably makes sense if you're outfitting an entire fleet and integrate it with your wonky in-house drivers' app which is barely fit for purpose. Yeah, I'm not bitter...

To phrase my point another way, an analogy might be:

Would you shout away a man who dug through your trash to pull out things he could sell?

You've already binned the trash. At that point, nothing that happens to it matters to you.

Either:

A) You lose nothing, and nobody gains something

B) You lose nothing, and somebody gains something

Picking A) is, from a philosophical viewpoint, essentially malice for the sake of it.

Like I said, you do you.

All I really have an issue with is the claim you get compensated for the time and energy you, essentially, donate to the company. If that's what you want to do with your time then by all means...

It just seems like a weird business model to me, they sell a pimped-out dash cam (fair enough) and pay some tokens (or rely on your philosophical bent) so you're willing to turn over all your data so they can repackage and sell it. To give credit where credit is due, they seem to be completely transparent with this and if the people who participate don't care then why should I?

has the author never seen a young che guevara, fidel castro, or joseph stalin?

stalin's pictures were photoshopped when he was in power, he was actually quite ugly. napoleon similarly was ugly looking but had himself painted as a chad after he betrayed the revolution

Ok about Che, but Fidel and Stalin were nothing to write home about. That obviously didn't stop them from having loads of women, of course.

Big companies tend to have Staff/Principal/Distinguished type roles. Usually those roles give you a lot of independence. But that independence means you need to be able to find projects to do and advocate for them and get them staffed and planned and executed and out to production. Often those projects can span many teams and multiple organizations, depending on how the company is structured. So I suppose the most valuable skill is being able to earn the trust of the managers so that you're able to even get them to listen to you so your stuff ends up on their roadmap.

so i do sympathize with a lot of the negative sentiments about the role here in this thread, and i think that in general there is a lot of navel gazing about the staff+ tech ic roles, there is an actual place for them as tech leads of large projects.

> Giving them a lot of money surely isn't going to motivate them to work harder.

isnt that the reason we give ceos lots of money?

CEOs are given money to make them feel important.

They are given stock awards to encourage them to improve the value of the business.

How hard they work is irrelevant.

Even for professional developers I am not buying this argument. I think there is an argument to be made that we actually don't know how to work with these tools effectively and repeatably yet. But as the tools improve and we figure out the processes more that may change. It might not too, but I am leaning more toward it working better when we figure out how to use it than not.

e: Not a q for parent, but maybe for others. Are we supposed to be making a distinction between "vibe coding" and "coding with an AI agent"? What is the difference?

According to Wikipedia, vibe coding is "fully giving in to the vibes, embracing exponentials, and forgetting that the code even exists" and "If an LLM wrote every line of your code, but you've reviewed, tested, and understood it all, that's not vibe coding in my book—that's using an LLM as a typing assistant"

Why would that happen when they can have mandatory 50 hour work weeks?

Mass unemployment with some people working 50+ hours a week will have to lead to something changing. Capped work hours? UBI?

People keep thinking the Jetsons is going to happen.

Soylent Green is a lot closer to the reality of capitalism.

"deserve" has nothing to do with it.
