      It’s a more efficient, direct, and profitable method for destroying the planet.

      See also almost all “technology” under capitalism.

      The fucktard who made the Oculus Rift likes to use my preferred operating system to kill people. Tech is a wild world.

      Edit: actually not just tech. Capitalism is just evil in general and polutes everything both literally and metaphorically

      We live in a world where it’s sorta just widely understood that the bottled-water chocolate-bar company murders people for profit on the regular

      It’s all fucked at every level

        Palmer Luckey is the goofiest looking cunt out hey. Imagine looking at yourself in the mirror with that stupid goatee and thinking you know what would go well with this, a hawaian shirt. Imagine having so much but being worth so little. What a fucken loser.

      Always have been. Orin nano/nx SoMs are in all sorts of weapons systems. NixOS had a whole community civil war because Anduril heavily adopted NixOS and integrated it with Jetpack, the BSP that these run. They’re kind of a PITA to use (fuck you WayneWWW…IYKYK) but they’re easily the highest performance SoM of that size and the power consumption is workable for these kinds of…short lived systems. I think they started out targeting automotive applications and never really took off in the commercial world despite being comparable to Apple silicon in performance because they have no power saving modes. They ended up being perfect for doing real time object detection from a MIPI camera though so now they’re the gold standard for bleeding edge slaughterbots.

      Before the Orin, a lot of more experimental systems were using the TX2i and Xavier modules, but they had much less computing power and the image recognition models weren’t as capable anyway.

        Interesting, thanks. I’ve seen NixOS requirements in german military projects. And it is very interesting looking at western downed drone teardowns in the Ukraine. I kept looking for NVidia logo there.

      All of the tech giants discovered that there is much more money to be made making tech for dystopian authoritarian governments than gamers. It was inevitable I guess.

        Just look at the long, long, LONG list of American and European companies helping Israel murder little children…

        Like the US/western Oligarch Regimes for instance…

          Yeah, and also Russian/Chinese oligarch regimes. What’s your point?
