If we’re going back to the 80s, do we at least get the company provided cocaine?

Exactly. If it’s displaying the line-in correctly, I don’t see what a firmware update would bring to the table.

It’s a display. Once it’s achieved being able to act like that, then you should be done for as long as the hardware lasts.

Haha, yeah, I probably wouldn’t have learned to care that much if design clients didn’t yell at me about it 20 years ago.

I don’t use AI much. Is it actually using two dashes? 'Cause an em dash is its own character: “—” vs --

I had to put those in manually with the — html entity in the pre utf-8 web days.

And I’m not your mate, shining star, light of my life

Pal, my dude, my buddy, you’re raging against someone’s garage proof-of-concept as if they held the key to the software problems on modern smartphones, and downvoting anyone who tells you to chill out. Lots of people do much more useless things than this every day, so why does this one thing enrage you so much?

Dude. It’s a hobby project. It doesn’t need to solve major global market problems for you. What an absolutely bizarre thing to get this angry over.

An interesting take on the technical hurdles it would have taken to even be able to fake what we saw during the moon landing.

tl;dw: It might have just been easier to go to the moon instead.

I mean, if that fits your use-case, I’m not gonna tell you not to get it. Plenty of folks just need a machine for scrolling a social media feed, documents, and Youtube.

But anyone who wants more than what amounts to a Chromebook can get it pretty affordably with the low-end macbooks. Effectively tripling your speed for another $200 is definitely worth it for lots of folks, and memory paging is a lot faster than it used to be.

Benchmarks can be hit or miss, but aren’t totally useless:

Low-end M1 from 2020: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Apple+M1+8+Core+3200+MHz

And finally, the A19 they’re talking about using: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Apple+A19+Pro

Intel celeron N150?

I mean, yeah, technically it’s got more ram, but that’s literally the only thing going for it. I’ve got a mini-pc server with that exact CPU. It’s good enough for what I need it for, by my wife’s 5 generation old M1 Air from 2020 trounces it several times over in terms of speed, even with 8GB.

For AI, it’s because they’re the cheapest way to hook up tons of memory to a GPU.

Nice fronthawk
