I worked on something very similar for inference on video streams. To avoid the limitations of the config files mentioned in a sibling comment, I added a tool to convert a config to plain Rust. Your primary focus has to be the quality of th

Europe has smaller cars, up until recently you'd see way more very small 3-doors hatchbacks than SUVs, including in rural areas. These would cost around 10-15k€ new, bellow 10k€ with a few thousands kms on the counter.

I'd rather pay for a transition out of car-centricity instead of subsidising a dying industry that lobbied against every single move forward in the past few decades. Against air quality, against electric transition, for fossil fuel, ag

What shocks me with European automakers is that all small EVs have disappeared from their offerings. Renault Zoe, Twingo, VW Up, etc. SUVs on the other hand are absolutely everywhere. Public transports are the ultimate solution of course, b
