Cheating. Not involving the kernel at all.

This is sooo true. I have multiple computing ideas that I want to do just for fun but I am not doing because each requires buying a mini-pc, sometimes with a screen too, and put Linux + my app on it.

At the same time I have multiple old phones laying around, Pixels, iPhones, Galaxy that are out of date, have cracked screens or worn out batteries.

Each one of these old phones have same or more computing power than a $300 mini-pc, but I can't use them because I can't just ssh into them and install an app...

Sad, really.

I wonder why when swipeing between the two sides of the disc it always appears convex from the currently viewed side, but flat when viewed edge on.

Anyone knows what could cause this?

I would question whether a PWM "technically" counts as digital... It is on and off, sure, but so is a mechanical power switch, which few would describe as digital. "Digital" is more when we get higher level values represented by multiple signals that are on or off (aka bits).

Sounds like a PERFECT chip for my next HomeAssistant box :-D

- Low power when only idling through events from the radio networks

- Low power and reasonable performance when classifying objects in a few video feeds.

- Higher power and performance when occasionally doing STT/TTS and inference on a small local LLM

Maybe launched a bit too quickly? You can select "Swedish" for the non-Swedish voices, but the results are very poor. Far from useable. And there is no Swedish voice. So that language support claim is made a bit to soon I would say.

Also I found no way to filter/sort the voice selection modal on language, so I have to visually search the entire list.

20 years ago I could spend months tweaking ocean surface in renders and not get even close to that. Amazing how good this is!!

Although the demo clip feels a bit exaggerated (saying this having over 50k Nm open water ocean sailing in my logbook). Waves that sharp and high would need the wind blowing a lot stronger. But I am sure that is just a parameter adjustment away!

Since it is in Godot I assume the rendering is real time? Does it need a monster GPU?

Generic Segmentation Offload

"GSO gains performance by enabling upper layer applications to process a smaller number of large packets (e.g. MTU size of 64KB), instead of processing higher numbers of small packets (e.g. MTU size of 1500B), thus reducing per-packet overhead."

I have to say I love your approach to solving sketch constraints.

Many times I have used traditional solvers to map out an old building where no angles are 90°. I measure a bunch of distances (with some inaccuracy of course) and spend hours fighting with the solver to get to something that satisfies most of the measurements.

This takes time because I am in essence doing exactly the converging spring forces simulation that you propose. Except much slower :-)
