I ran it with remote start this morning for 20 minutes and it still wouldn't budge when trying to do it by hand. I accidentally found out that hitting the gas at a stop sign will do the trick though.

Did you think all trains were unicycles or something?

Mythbusters did it.

When Lyft rides are $60 to Belmont, South Station will save me up to $40 well the blue line station with only save me $20.

The silver line is free when you’re leaving the airport as well. I usually take it to south station and call a Lyft from there. I’ve saved $40-60 on rides doing that.

Blue line is faster though.

The camera budget wouldn't have been moved to the production budget. The production budget is determined independently, based on the ROI of said budget. Tossing more money at the production budget would have done practically very little over the course of the last two years when the issue chip supplies, pretty much completely out of their control. You saying 'just do toss it into R&D for board production' screams that you don't know anything realistic about the industry. The board is simple. Sony makes the boards. The chips are simple. Broadcom and more make those. Do you understand that Raspberry Pi doesn't make the boards or the chips? The only 'R&D' they could do is change board design to account for additional chips and again, that goes against the core principles of the Raspberry Pi foundation. It would take time. And after all that work, as soon as chip supplies start picking up again, you have an ugly duckling product that was a colossal waste of time and money.

Your statements imply that the Raspberry Pi foundation doesn't know what they're doing in balancing the budget of new tech and production. That they don't know what is a reasonable amount of budgeting. That you know better than not only the CEO of the Pi Foundation, with his PhD from Cambridge, but the entire management team at the Raspberry Pi Foundation.

>Every tech companies, from Apple to IBM to Razers to Intel to Sennheiser etc etc etc are all constantly improving their productions, but Raspberry pi actually have it perfect and nothing could be improved. That's your take.

This isn't about improving products, this is about production of more raspberry pis. If you want to put words in my mouth, fine, let me return the favor.

You believe that the Pi foundation should shutdown all other divisions, all development of different products, future products, etc., if it means they can get one more single raspberry pi fabricated even if it costs millions and the company goes under. That's your take.

I added short term because this problem is temporary. To solve this problem, you had to solve this problem in the last two years, or otherwise have a magic ball to tell you COVID was going to impact chips the way it did and act before the pandemic.

There is nothing 'to be done eventually.' Chips will come back in stock eventually, board production will continue. You just want to say 'throw more money at it' like it will solve all the problems without understanding the problems. I literally work with PCB manufacturers on a daily basis.

You're also missing the point. The camera budget was likely independent of the production budget. Even if they canceled the camera entirely, it is unlikely to have had an impact on production over the last two years. Budgeting was not the problem, you can read Eben Upton's post about it. It's all been about chips, and any reasonable solution would have taken longer than the pandemic or impacted support of its products.

To my limited understand of the problems that the Raspberry Pi foundation is facing, I do not think there is anything reasonable that can be done to accelerate the manufacturing of boards in the short term.

I also do not think it is likely that the Pi foundation can reasonable increase the 'top maximal optimization possible' when it's Sony fabricating the boards, and a chip shortage that is probably related to Broadcom and more suppliers.

It may be possible for them to switch some chip suppliers and release variations of their boards, but they also have to 'optimize' with their ability to support the boards for 10+ years, one of the core foundations of the organization.

I'm trying to understand what you think the bottleneck is that tossing more money would simply solve. Most R&D takes years to have results, and typically budgets have money set aside. It isn't about spending $1M on camera development board or $3M on fab, it can often be an independent decision.

Are you implying that the problem isn't primarily being supply constrained on chips? Or do you think Sony UK Technology Centre is having issues making boards?

How would they accelerate the manufacturing of boards? Aren’t they manufactured by third parties?

Do you think the resources for developing camera boards is impacting the production of Pi boards?

They estimated. Might not be a great estimate but it’s an estimate.

From my reading, with drugs they have to go through the CDER to be proven effective. There isn't a single approved homeopathic drug, it's just the ingredients that are labeled safe. These ultrasonic bone healing devices are classified as medical devices, so I assume they go through more scrutiny than only safety. A variation can be found here which also has a link to the Exogen system.

Measuring impedance probably gives you an idea of the state of the surface of the skin. Way to conductive? Probably wet/pus. High impedance? Very dry, to some level of cracking/scabbing/etc. As far as temperature, I thought you could see wounds differently with a thermal sensor as well. Combine the data and it might help narrow down a possible window on the state of the wound, even if it's not as good as what we can assess with our eyes.

As far as electrical stimulation, it is much more difficult to say. I had a device about 10-15 years ago that was FDA approved and would send ultrasonic waves to a broken bone to promote healing. How effective was it? Well, I have my doubts, but 'FDA' approved I hope there was a double blind study in there. I doubt the electrical stimulation is done acoustically, but I can imagine that they found some sort of FDA device/study that had electrical stimulation, added the electrical stimulation to the bandaid, and said 'ah, see, it can heal!' and cite the source for the electrical stimulation so they aren't questioned about it.

At least, that is what I would do as a grad student.

You have an IMU that uses both a gyroscope and acceleration.
