Oh no.
- girvo 6mo agoYou’re absolutely right! …LLM-isms are like nails on chalkboard I swear. Instant turn off the moment I read them. Even if they’re maybe not lol, doesn’t matter my visceral reaction is negative.
- Apocryphon 6mo agoThat's just what standard marketing copy sounds like. ...which perhaps says a lot about the corpora that the models are trained on.
- smlacy 6mo ago156 MHz!!!!
- billforsternz 6mo agoSurprisingly high or surprisingly low?
- smlacy 6mo agoIMHO surprisingly low. Still not clear to me why they don't just port these things to ARM or similar?
- billforsternz 6mo agoThanks for clarifying. I think this is an ARM and a break from a history of Z80 and Z80 adjacent CPUs. I do get the impression TI have done a good (financial) job milking these products whilst under investing in real product innovation.
- samtheDamned 6mo agoI'm not an expert in this department but I wonder if battery life is a factor here. My Ti-84+ has not fully died once since I was in middle school (as a college graduate now). It can survive an entire year out of use and would still have a usable charge when I would pick it back up for a new math class.
- dadoum 6mo agoI don't know either what they meant, but for comparison NumWorks calculators are clocked at 216 MHz (100 MHz for the older models, and 550 MHz for some of the latest ones, but not everywhere), so it doesn't look that much out of the ordinary, maybe a little underpowered from my experience with the first NumWorks but eh idk it's a calculator and unlike the first NumWorks they don't try to do CAS.
- nxobject 6mo agoFaster than a base-config SGI O2, with a MIPS R10000 at 150 MHz! /s
- stabbles 6mo agoThis made me double check if it wasn't someone's vibe code scam website.
