I think this might allow doing more things with the disc drive on all(?) ps2 models like running copied/homebrew ps1 discs (currently requires a modchip afaik), or potentially developing replacement optical drives/hardware emulato

vrchat is just weird enough (and for, maybe, weird people) plus the new user experience/children yelling slurs situation makes it hard to even bring up to general audiences I do think hardcore sims and vrchat are the only good reasons

if they sell 100 of these per year (which I doubt), with profit of $3000 per unit (which I also doubt), that pays enough to employ like one person (who needs to handle sales, support, marketing, three or four different kinds of engineering,

a decent comparison because they both seem like some type of responsibility laundering, and LLMs/PAs are being given continually increasing autonomy for economic reasons

the way you phrase this implies some sort of suppression of LLM interest, but anyone eligible to vote on these could have made their own. The absence of pro-LLM proposals shows nobody wanted one enough to send an email or two about it.

VR is probably the coolest new tech of the last decade to me, hanging out with friends and exploring weird spaces is so wild (sure there are lots of flaws and limitations but it's definitely exciting and new to me even as a jaded, incr

are you trying to use gpio for the pps? feeding the pps into the NIC clock is what gets you the great accuracy, doing it with gpio on the main processor will have much worse jitter

also companies try really hard not to keep huge stockpiles of parts as part of lean manufacturing

numerically, most companies are not in cutting edge rapid product cycle consumer gear like apple, they instead want to buy 1000/year of the same part for a decade (or maybe gradually better, compatible equivalents)

is 10W a lot of power? I absolutely don't believe the cpu is using less than that while pushing 25Gb out you can look up the rated power use of a connectx4 card, they do a lot of offloaded computation, too
