speaking of touch though they musn't have touched the swipe-typing feature in a while because somehow it works even better than the keyboard for me most of the time! No nonsense words like "oul" instead of "oil" constantly.

it's not really worth it after the recent price-hike, they aren't putting out content like they used to

...and up to that point, first world countries should not be complaining about developing nations using coal. It's a lot more shock resistant than diesel and natural gas, which is especially important for those that are so much more sensitive to inflation. From what I've seen coal, solar (hydro too, but that's land-dependent) and micromobility are save harbors. Not much they can do about the fertilizer shortfalls though.

it'd be nice if one of these environment labs made an environment for cross-architecture porting, it'd be really cool to see some old ppc mac programs running natively, or compiled to wasm (yes, yes I know the visual elements would need to be ported as well)

to be honest, outside of fullstack and basic MCU stuff, these agents aren't very good. Whenever a sufficiently interesting new model comes out I test it on a couple problems for android app development and OS porting for novel cpu targets and we still haven't gotten there yet. I'd be happy to see a day where it was possible however

I think it's more the performance cost of building the servers themselves, and their density, why put compute in a flood basin or tornado hotspot if you know the latency improvements won't be immense enough to offset the cost of their destruction

at the point where those gpus cost pennies, they likely won't even be worth the electricity that goes into them, better models would run on laptops.

Oh interesting, it looks like that geforce had an entire 64mb of gddr3 too, it'd still be fun to see if one could limbo that low, though I agree that save for upgrading the BGA ddr3 of the wii to something more the size of the dev kit had(128mb GDDR3)

Given that the original Apple TV ran on a modified version of macos, what are the chances one could turn an old wii into an Apple TV..?

EDIT: also, I just noticed on a second pass the system is addressing 78mb of ram, potentially meaning the ram spans the gddr3 and sram, I'm amazed this works as well as it does with seemingly heterogeneous memory

more likely, they would parse them out using simple regex, the whole point is they're there but not used. Distillation is becoming less common now however

I'm largely bored of wrappers, what still interests me are the new modalities of models being released and progressed on like small local VLMs, voice to voice and tts

...And you'll find that when you do so magically you seem to get logged out more frequently, and because of their UI, you likely won't notice until the sneaking suspicion the quality of your recommendations has dropped catches up with you
