First they hired a cop, now they're embedding AI. I'm calling it now(again), Raspberry Pi is dead. Pick a new platform folks.

I miss Ops work being generalized knowledge of UNIX and not specialized knowledge of some startup products that won't exist in 10 years.

 @miah this is a really good point. I'd love containers and container orchestration to be a cmdline tool that just comes w certain OSes ... or other sorts of things that will be useful for ops people |
@miah @BetoOnSecurity to be fair, the ability to do my own modest ML on edge devices is legitimately interesting!
But selling that as βships with AI!β Is gross.
@miah Having an official hat for AI work, I'm fine with that. There are certainly common pi projects where it would be useful.
But yeah, it really doesn't need to be built in. I always thought the Pi was meant to be minimalist, with GPIO to give it great flexibility with connecting other shit for specific applications.
@miah I've been building on single-board fanless x86_64 since the covert surveillance cop thing. Cheaper, more available, more performant, lower power, runs the same Debian I already run elsewhere. I've been burned by Arm boards needing custom kernels and quickly going out of support so nobody's porting the special code for the custom kernels any more..
