I also caught this but then figured 10m may not be the typical drawing time. 10m -> 1m means 10x faster. 5m = 300s alas 3s/drawing. So maybe it only tool 30s/drawing previously. (Unlikely.)

But even then, it also says 5m can save days of work. Days is minimum 2days, or 16h, or 960s. That’s not 10x faster as previously stated, but 192x faster.

So yeah, it doesn’t add up.


This would be a hell of a hot power bank. It uses about as much power as my oven. So probably more like inside a huge cooling device outside the house. Or integrated into the heating system of the house.

(Still compelling!)


*the whole server uses 2.2kw or whatever, not a single board. I think that was for 8 boards or something.


Oh does it? Thanks for the clarification then. Their home page said 2.5kW so I assumed that's what it is.

To be fair, 2.5kW does sound too much for a single 3x3cm chip, it would probably melt.


More powwwwaaa!

Yeah, though I suppose once we get properly 3d silicon I would not be surprised at power rating for that, 3cm^3 would be something to behold.


Isn't syntax pretty much just compression? We could write down the AST itself in some generic notation but that would be orders of magnitudes larger, so invent clever tricks to compress it, which we call syntax.

Edit: typo


Exactly my thoughts.

I’d love to have this for phone calls and sms as well. If you didn’t spam me, I’ll refund.


In my book, asking for a tip is called begging. A tip is voluntary.


Would you elaborate why?


Oh lol I love that angle!


I think it's a great demo, it is interesting how harsh the feedback is that you are getting. You are probably just too late to the party.

I also work in this space and the road ahead gets exponentially harder, unfortunately.


Is it just me? No conclusion, no takeaway, nothing.


Thanks for this comment, I'm glad it's not only me. I came back feeling like, I enjoyed the article and it was a waste of time. Classic advice, where its only use is passing it on.
