I've written a bunch of LMS integrations so I've had the opportunity to use all of the major LMSs. Basically, all LMS systems are rather user unfriendly and complicated with a ton of customization options hidden under layers of sub-menus/configuration settings. At their core they provide a grade book, student management tools, and some basic CMS type functionality for posting class messages/coursework/etc. They've all adopted a standard for interacting with external tools (LTI).
Canvas generally is the 'easiest' to use, and the 'cleanest' looking one although D2L Brightspace is pretty good too. Moodle out of the box is pretty confusing and ugly, but I've seen some heavily customized instances that look a lot better. Blackboard is the worst of the bunch IMO.
Facebook marketplace is an everything shop, though a bit more local in nature. Also, it's much easier for small businesses that ship to have an online store thanks to Shopify, etc.
The last few times I've used EBay is to get parts for old garden tractors, and even for that I've found cheaper options with small retailers that specialize in that stuff. Most ebay shipping pushes the cost up too much, and with the small retailers usually I can get a bunch of things I need at the same shipping price.
FB Marketplace is full of scammers too. Every time we've tried to sell something, we've had people try to steal our phone number and register it with their Google Voice account.
If you look at the cybertruck's architecture it basically is the "top end" of that line.
It's a big car platform with a bed. It's the "top of the line" for "car based" pickups like the old Subarus, the Maverick/SantaCruz and Ridgeline.
While it nominally competes with the F150 it doesn't really. Same as how the Ridgeline nominally competes with the Ranger, but doesn't really.
I think it's a real shame the cyber truck never took off. While gimmicky I think the longevity of it's absolutely stupid thick(er than typical) gauge stainless body would have put pressure on other OEMs to stop building shitty truck beds that dent and rust if you look at them funy.
With the visual analysis of LLMs, throw in some extra ingredients with a camera, microphone, speaker, and display, and were getting close. Add Bluetooth for biosensors and... Iterate a couple of generations...
Ran a simple test with the examples you find in the project. Will publish those benchmarks.. actually that makes me think, I should probably do a public test suite showing the results. :)
