$200 is two man hours. So if you save two hours a month, you are breaking even.

I would say using performance of Perplexity as a benchmark for the quality of o1-pro is a stretch?

The mistakes they make are very similar to mistakes we humans do. Just like you can confuse a human with irrelevant information, you can distract the LLM. We are not good at big tables of integers, just as them. An LLM isn't a calculat

I think I read the article s bit differently. The headline is a bit click-bate, but in the article they never state that the format has to die in general, but that this distribution has killed it of, with explanations on why that is.

"bright yellow on white" and "dark blue on black": I thought the system was designed so that you should use a bright colors on a dark color or opposite, not two colors in the same group?

This was a very interesting read. I have read a bit about the 4004 before so I knew it was strange. But the level of obscurity is mind-blowing. Now I just got the urge to see how well I would be able to make a CPU with the same transistor c

I can't understand how the game-while-loading hot granted. This "invention" was already invented and used long before, for example the "invade-a-load" fastloader on C64.

We have a couple of challenges today. Hobbyists often go over 20MHz, because they put WiFi, BT or USB on their boards, giving EMC issues. Also, the speed of the modern ICs tend to be very high. If you have a 9600 Hz UART signal, that is not

You probably know about this already, buy in case you missed it: The Arts of Electronics is a wonderful book on electronics, starting from zero, ending up at bachelor level EE. I was introduced to the second edition (silver) when I attended

Maybe real time image processing from a camera. 2GB would probably be more than enough, and less power draw is nice when running continuously.

Converting a picture from color to black and white is a fairly simple task. Getting back the original in color is not easy. This is if course due to data lost in the process. Minification works in the same way. A lot of information needed f

Very interesting project! I read the project description and status, and I would maybe call it a pre alpha, not beta at this stage? Anyway, good luck to the creator. I hope you find people interested in contributing :-)

The opportunity to go to space is worth so much that I think they would get qualified people to do it for free, maybe even pay to have the job. So I don't think there is a need to pay more than a regular "good salary". I woul

I came here with that exact quote copied, but expected to find it posted already It's easy to forget that the 80s took us from Apple II, TRS-80, PET, via C64, Amiga, Atari ST and Macintosh to SuperVGA and 486 when we entered the 90s.

Wow, is that true? And the documentation is thousands of pages! I can't understand how Intel keep these processors consistent during development. It must be a really, really hard job. It was a nice period in history when proper RISC wa

You are completely right. I think many people still think of Microsoft as Windows and Office.

Ballmer is a good used car salesman. He sold what they had, but new products suffered under his leadership. Just like Apple stopped inventing after Jobs. Nadella built new product categories for the company. I think two more years with Ball

This is so interesting! Quite often, I'm thinking about how a modern design would perform with tubes. Back in the 40s and 50s, digital computers were new. Much of the design was inherited from tabulating machines. When I study the earl

The valves need to be warmed up can still be the source of the names "cold boot" and "warm boot", even if we today have given them different meaning.

The trio Amiga, ST and Macintosh all had music software, DTP and graphics, but I think they ruled one craft each: The ST became the king of MIDI. The Amiga was the queen of gfx and video. Machintosh created and ruled the DTP revolution. Sti

This happens a lot on the Norwegian Wikipedia. It has a super-deleter, deleting hundreds of articles a month, especially on Norwegian artists, musicians and companies. Many of them have Wikipedia entries in other languages, but for that per

If you go to art school, what you do is study and analyze what artists have done before you. We humans learn much in the same way as an AI. We study what has been made by others. I think accusing AI generated work to theft, is a based on th

I totally agree with you. I hated them from day one. Sounds to clean and polished.
