Sibil attack in 3...2...1....

I don't think there's anything recent here, they are just pre-computing a normal map which doubles as already "baking" a 3D-looking image in.

These are starting to become daily horoscopes

The RP2XXX microcontrollers are so incredible in terms of what it's opened to hobbyists. I hope microcontroller-based computers become a thing.

It's more a matter of exposing hobbyists of one vertical to what exists in another. Low-power RISC microcontrollers and microprocessors were superseded in popularity by the ease of a Raspberry Pi SBCs running Linux, that could act as a host to its own development.

Now that Raspberry Pi has entered the market, hobbyists that were only familiar with SBCs are now being introduced to the flexibility of Low-power RISC microcontrollers and microprocessors.

There's also some new products on the market that are the best of both worlds, with the system-in-package form factors and easy bare-metal development of the RP2XXX line, that still have the ability to run full Linux, like the Bouffalo Labs BL808 and the Sophgo SG2000. Check out the Ox64 from Pine64 (https://pine64.com/product/128mb-ox64-sbc-available-on-decem...) or the Duo series from MilkV (https://milkv.io/duo) for breakout boards and development boards.

Agreed. The price point and PIOs really open a lot of possibilities, especially with the amazing tooling that is available.

I want to say, that your comment has been the most real, aligned thing I've read in this post's comments. The articulation of what I've also seen and felt is perfect. Whoever else passes by, THIS, is the truth. What dnw has written is the honest-to-god state of things and that it does not rob you of the passion of creating.

Sounds like you'd use an LLM exactly for that.

We don't need you.

Why pay for LLM when you can just do it easily for free?

The end goal is to get rid of all frontends anyway, just have apps that you interact with through LLM prompts. A more advanced command line.

Kind of feel that's already the case today... 4GB I find is still plenty for even business workloads.

Video games have driven the need for hardware more than office work. Sadly games are already being scaled back and more time is being spent on optimization instead of content since consumers can't be expected to have the kind of RAM available they normally would and everyone will be forced to make do with whatever RAM they have for a long time.

My theory that you'll need a dedicated machine to access the internet is more true by the day.

Is that machine also going to be segmented on a private VLAN?
