He works in tech in a large silicon valley company which means that he is underpaid yet does unpaid overtime coding new ways of either fracking the cerebrospinal fluid of adorable kittens directly from their twitching bodies, or else reinventing something that currently exists only worse, with overengineered tech/internet connectivity, and ongoing micropayments.

I say gently caress the haters, and live your life

Why even go back to your car? Just sleep under your desk

That's bleak

Are the windows totally blacked out? Is there no way people can see you in there?

While it is funny that OP is sleeping in his car while ostensibly developing a mattress, he's probably not really developing anything because the startup will likely go under before shipping a single unit and he will have wasted his life for nothing

Love giving data to corporations such as how often I wash my sheets and how many pumps it takes to finish in my wife etc. Thank you for your sacrifice op.

If you're whackin' it in the trunk, do you keep it unlatched to add an element of excitement and danger that someone might come by and take a lil peek?

What are your trunk whack strats, op?

I'm also starting to think this is a bit, I work in device firmware/software and this is like smart device 101. It's has to be smart enough without an Internet connection to do most of its functionality.

Then again givin how many lovely IoT products are out there it's possible this is real. The Juicero was real after all.

Neckpain from your mattress deflating once it loses connection with the internet. The middle of the night. Imagine being on sleep meds and having this happen

You didn't answer if you have a place to live, that you pay for.

Otherwise, I missed it.

Also, what type of car is it? Searching found it to be a Suburu, Sedan, Legacy is basically 16' long. can you stretch out?

Do the cafeteria people wonder why you're there three times a day, every single day?

how many pairs of underwear do you have? Pants?

I've been pulling for you, but you're ignoring vital questions

I lived in a '98 toyota tercel, because I didn't have a loving choice, stop acting like you're all hoity-toity

So what do you do when you need a poo poo at night OP... squat on the kerb?

Tristesse posted:

Where do you piss at night and why is it different when you piss on the curb vs the average unhoused person?

You are spending the majority of your life at work at this point, and the obsession over 500 bux in gas tells me they are not paying you enough to make up for that loss in work life balance. The way I look at it you aren't saving any commute time, you are just trading in ALL of your personal time during the week to the office for very little gain. I'm not cyberstalking you to find out what you home life is like but I would venture a guess that something unpleasant is happening to encourage you to act like an urchin and think this is some kind of neat shortcut to life.

i think he said earlier it's because the management don't want people not connecting their mattress to the wifi (lol)

There is literally no reason you couldn't run the model (or an "almost as good" model) locally. You can get MCUs that can run CNNs more than large enough for your application for ~$15-20 USD a unit, you'd be able to easily keep the power draw under 10w which would be minimal compared to the pumps etc.

This is of course assuming that using AI is actually beneficial. As an alternative you could also use AI to derive a more traditional algorithm that would fit on a ~$0.20 MCU that will run on nanowatts of power. That way you can still use AI in your marketing without actually having to deal with the expense of running AI either in the cloud or on an edge device.

For data collection you could still have your mattress refuse to inflate unless its app connected during initial setup, and then again if it hasn't fed back data for X days.

I am available to consult lol.

I'd like to know how far the smart mattress has been trained on non human objects on the bed.

Does it know how to raise ridges around a body pillow so it doesn't slide around?

Can it detect human shaped objects and add simulated shuffling movements to it?

What about those pillows shaped like a human arm?

Is there a VR mode that detects when you have your VR headset on and the largest open area in your living situation is the bed and like sets the edges to your movement area? Like say in the back of a car?

It's fascinating that the people who have been driven to these extremes seem to always think that they've mastered a superior way of life or unlocked an amazing productivity/efficiency shortcut, instead of realizing that they're wage slaves who've chained themselves to the yoke willingly.

As a licensed therapist I would like to chime in and add that OP's lifestyle is also quite bad.

Those are really specific problems, the Q4 started cannibalizing Q8 sales and then the Q5 went after both of them, they are also expensive with confusing optioning. The Hummer, dear lord, that is a $110,000 crime against humanity, the GV80 high-end luxury SUV that doesn't qualify for any tax credits and the Mach-E, Ford did a really lovely job with allocations and made way to many GTs that aren't selling at all. Also Ford dealers are actively not trying to sell them in a huge fight with Ford over the EV dealership model with many dealerships still marking them up to outrageous prices even though the supply chain has smoothed out.

Also there is little chance that the batteries are going to degrade 50% over 10 years, I think everyone is warranting their batteries for 8 years at 70% capacity and one of the issues with cost and supply chain is they are really putting batteries that are significantly larger than they should be in almost everything.
