I would also add at this point, I’d be hard pressed to say there are going to be massive changes in the price you’d get. A phone tends to decline in value the most for the first few years it’s been released, sort of like how new cars depreciate the fastest in its first three years. So I suppose to answer your question: yes you’d maximize your money if you gave it up today, I just don’t know how much more you’d be making.

Yeah normally I’m not a fan of more big brother esque security but given the parking situation in Philly… I’ll shut up and nod.

It’s not “are you recording” but more highlighting what to look at. It would take so many union labor paid hours to sift through all those videos to find a violation. It’s probably cheaper, as crazy as it sounds, to train an AI Model to catch the violations and log it so an employee only has to sift through likely violators.

I also wouldn’t be surprised if the PPA is looking into this model themselves for… other reasons.

My best guess as an AI engineer is that the AI is to detect the difference between cars that are parked vs cars on the road that are stopping at a light and then take the picture at the right time.

I don’t think the article says the bus drivers initiate the photos — presumably SEPTA would rather have drivers drive than framing the perfect shot — so it makes sense to have AI fit in there.

Because I’d like Lenny/Memmy to succeed Reddit and that means making it more accommodating to the non technical focused folks.

I’m going to say something unpopular: I think you should make it possible for users to pay you for premium features like notifications.

Writing software is a hard thankless job. I’m sure there are many in the community who’d like to help you so that you can be more recharged and sustained in your pursuit to make Memmy better.

It’s admirable you want to keep it free, I hope there’s always a great free version. But I think you should consider a premium route, for features which actually do cost money to operate, and make a few bucks out of it too.

This episode showcases the brilliance of BattleBot to do these at the end of the season so all the bots have time to optimize their design. There were no duds and in the case of Shreddit, that’s a heck of a zero to hero story.

Was that actually the clue tonight? Wow

She gets a lot of undeserved hate but I always felt like her decisions are fair or she corrected it in the appeal. Maybe not the decision I’d like to see happen, but it always made sense as per the judging guidelines

No problem! I didn’t get paid to say they’re the best, they just are. Lots of great options and lots of care in designing them for the best intersection of everyone’s foot sins. Plus they always come with extra insoles in different shapes to accommodate both flat foot and… overly-arched foot (you’d think I’d know that term…)
