They do. But not in large numbers. They are not cheap, take a long time to train and come with maintenance I understand. But apparently they work very well.

No. The report says it had the capacity to sustain that many.

If you can get them. Seems to be the most popular choice.

Yes. The Orin Nano is amazing. We support that as well. Once I’ve added nvme SSD and a case on the pi, if I use an 8GB pi then it’s getting up to 1/2 the price of the jetson. But the jetson does inference 10x faster. Plus it has fantastic hardware video support.
None the less, the Pi is still faster and physically smaller. If I’m spinning up lots of them for test scenarios having the pi as a platform still is really handy.
But absolutely. The Jetson is brilliant. The Pi is none the less a fantastic platform.
I think so of the reactions toward the Pi here are a bit harsh. The price hike is not their fault, it’s all the AI companies that will continue to suck your tax dollars and give them to billionaires. Raspberry Pi have done an astonishing job for the whole communities and we should be thankful for that company.

They are really good for edge devices. We have a Raspberrypi 5 running as a thermal imaging enabled wildlife camera with local AI. I don't think you can find another platform that can support this as well.

Isn't it just a film about a lot of fighting ?

Do you like the new European law that all cars have to have a camera looking at a driver's face and beep if it "thinks" you are not paying attention?
It's a new mandated feature.

That’s a little black and white though. It’s ruling out that the AI could make a pretty good guess as to what you likely wanted to convey. If it gets that right, then you didn’t need to understand it nearly much.
When I observe its reasoning I see it doing this all the time.

So combine easy public access to uber hacker LLMs with the European CRA coming into full force next year in December. cha ching!
15,000,000 euros fines for all tech companies in Europe :-)

Only two occasions though out of more than 60. All the other times they were just traveling through.
And I also don’t believe those two times they were a threat to the horses, more likely just curious. But I didn’t have the full visibility enough to be sure as there was just one camera. So I called the farmer to be in the safe side.
Now I think there are no more wolves there. It’s been weeks since Insaw them. They have either dispersed or killed on the roads.

If I recall correctly, Yellowstone national park has around 8 wolf packs. Whereas the Netherlands 14. That's pretty absurd!
Looking the other way for a really long time results in crazy situations.

There is a lot not to be proud of about human behavior. Still.. one has to try to be a little positive about there being hope as hopelessness is contagious.

Sure they are. But try mentally reversing the situation. If any other single species occupied and changed the landscape as much as humans they would be viewed by humans as the most horrific plague on earth.
So I'm just a little empathy would be well placed here. A little effort to try and co-exist with the other inhabitants would not be out of place and as a bonus you can think a little better of yourself.
Wolves don’t just encounter a farm and instantly jump over the fences. They would have been around for a significant period of time before doing that. And during that period they could have been detected and that attack prevented in all likelihood. This of course needs proper research but wolves are very cautious.
The wolf attack in question where a wolf jumped a fence 20 times could have been detected or cut short if an electronic detection system had been employed.
These systems have the potential to make a positive difference.
But these ways are not really being tried yet, 10 years later. We are not as adaptive as wolves it seems. Maybe that can change soon though.
I know, because I have developed such a system and studied a pack with it in Belgium the past year.

I captured wolves on video more than 60 times during that period. And in that period only 2x times were the wolves hanging around the farmers field which had horses (rather than simply passing by). I called the farmer and the wolves dispersed. The videos of this are also online.
The system uses thermal imaging and the University of Helsinki have incorporated the images into a thermally trained AI model. PIR sensors can detect wolves a relatively short distance away. But this system can detect wolves and label them as such at 50m or more.

Describing the slaughter as sport would not be accurate. The situation is an unnatural situation as the sheep have no way to escape. In a natural situation the prey would have had the opportunity to disperse.
If you try to break up a fight between domesticated dogs you would also note that they enter a different state of mind during such an attack. In these cases the trapped sheep just make the situation worse.
The fence however serves a very good purpose which in most cases would do its job. And in this particular case it’s also useful, it serves as a natural barrier to allow time for a detection system to detect the wolf and potentially invoke a response system. But it’s quite clear we need to adapt a little quicker ourselves, indeed our response was ill thought out.
