I had wonderful interactions with you all. Changes over the last few years were already too much but mostly annoying.
This is different though.

… path then backtrack only when necessary, because a component does not do what you expect it to and swapping with another isn’t enough.
TL;DR: between 1hr to 1 lifetime ;)

… if you want to make your own, either a single component or more, e.g. designing your PCB or writing some piece of software it can take days to do, years to learn.
I’d argue it’s up to your needs and available resources and I would suggest to always start with the “easy”…

Entirely depends on what building blocks you rely on.
This looks complex but I did something similar https://x.com/utopiah/status/1449023602079240194 and it took me hours to assemble.
So… if you take of the shelf components, and the right ones, you need little electronic or software expertise, but…

…isn’t a “humble brag” to try to say that in truth, I’m a “god gamer”. I’m not.
It’s really only to highlight that quite often we spend more time and energy anticipating an outcome rather than what it would take to actually just attempt doing what’s needed.

Difficulty is relative and based on expectations.

So… imagine that you have a idea to build with software but you have a limited budget, money and time. What if you had to stick to the ESSENTIAL fast, real fast?
How about watching people trying to do it?

You’re more a visionary that those 3 combined.
They absolutely helped the commercialization of VR but in terms of novel ideas, something that is enhlighting, I don’t see it.
That said I’m definitely biased as I don’t see ad corporations or weapons sellers positively.

I do enjoy Apple content as a viewer.🤩
⚠️I hate its growing vertical integration though.
It was one thing to provide “alt” home computers. Another to sell mobile devices. Then proprietary networking. Integration between all those, only those. Then services, e.g i☁️.

If only it was “just” infantalization. I’d argue it’s also :
- impoverishing your thinking process as suggested before https://x.com/utopiah/status/1880231088662147383
- trying to make you more depending on tools and an ecosystem
- extremely costly, economically and ecologically
So yes, be wary. https://x.com/LuizaJarovsky/status/1879907848723021872

Speech-to-text is one of the main benefits of the VC fueled AI frenzy yet it is still not 100%. Consequently it forces users to reduce their vocabulary (not just improve diction, even for native speakers). Does it mean that AI popularity leads to increasing poverty of thoughts?🤔

If you are serious about both gaming and freedom, ignore the Switch2 noise or any device that doesn’t run Linux proper. Check the @OnDeck or for much older games (mostly emulation) things like @Anbernic_China.
My point is that “even” your handled gaming console should be yours!

Shared all this due to stumbling on https://x.com/tomshardware/status/1879190436855628023 and because one of the key take away I hope to share with those kids is that EVERY electronic gadget around you is a computer. If you learn to program 1, you can program all others. That’s genuine empowerment.

Replying to @utopiah
Consequently IMHO is the intersection of the tool WITH empowerment that makes this so special, not “just” learning about it. I’d argue that’s also the main difference between CS and mathematics with programming. It relies on them, yes, but there is a tangible result one can use.

PS: FWIW I did have Logo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logo_(programming_language) classes in primary school in France but it didn’t really click then. I had fun but it was a “class”. IMHO what changed was when I had MY device and could thus program it the way I wanted, not as I was asked.

It (nearly) goes without saying but AI (with LLMs, open-source or not) is orders of magnitude MORE demanding than transcoding or gaming. That’s also why NVIDIA is so successful.
So before you ask a chatbot for yet another hallucination because you’re too lazy to search, think.🧠

Replying to @utopiah
It looks naive, even silly… and yet by using your actual powerful computer at home to make it do actually demanding tasks (not browsing a Web page or editing an office document) you get a very small and short glimpse of what your online trace might spark.
It’s hot, very hot.

Ah! Very nice. I didn’t have the gutter part but… somewhere buried in my prototypes (and unable to find back due to Twitter now broken search) I have something similar, probably as Tridactyl or GreaseMonkey userscript.
