I tried the on-device image input model with an app I am building. It's not very good at world-knowledge recall, but can describe the submitted image well enough.

We have one of these in my town, Denton TX. KUZU FM. I think it was one of the first. It was originally a pirate radio station, that went legit with LPFM.

I have seen this a lot lately. I am curious to understand how these are used and/or what benefit they provide?

willing to bet that 99.999% uptime is just static text, because 5+ hours out of 2190 hours is not 99.999%

...let's say instead of a dolphin named flipper, the character / avatar on the product was a plumber with a big mustache named "Mario". You're telling me Nintendo isn't filing a C&D?

i wonder if anyone owns the rights to the name "flipper" from the TV show. could potentially be argued that it's IP theft.

I found this really interesting to read. It's really cool that they use the mechanical press of the buttons to generate energy. I had never thought of that before. However when you think about those old longpress ratchet flashlights - that was the same concept.
