If you know Ben Eater, you know he built that circuit on purpose lol.

Not so sure—just as likely a fan shared it and he is re-posting to make a point.

I mean, he absolutely knew it was going to burn up. But I have no trouble believing that such a circuit was designed by AI.

Yep, the Pi 5 is an ARM though and you have to license the architecture to use it. RISC-V is open source, but currently sucks in pretty much all aspects compared to any other. This is still way in the early dev and build support phase.

If you care about quality software, your jaw should be on the floor. It is a staggering amount of waste for what should have been a few DOM calls. And you feel it as a user: an ugly, intense hitch.

Many such cases. React is basically synonymous with horrible lag and extreme bloat to me. Its name is the highest form of irony.

I'm really not sure why JS frameworks in general are so popular (except to facilitate easy corporate turnover), when the browser already gives you a pretty complete toolset that's the easiest to use out of any GUI library in existence. It's not low level by any means.

Granted something like an <include html component> feature is desperately missing from the html spec, but there are lightweight solutions for it.

The next step is to train an ML model on all videos of the lockpicking lawyer and it'll get a click out of one, three is binding every time.

Eh out of all the nonprofits that incessantly fundraise, Wikipedia gets a pass the most. Nobody else can compete with their vast utility to just about everyone.

> The Pi's built-in CPU trounces the Hailo 10H.

Case closed. And that's extremely slow to begin with, the Pi 5 only gets what, a 32 bit bus? Laughable performance for a purpose built ASIC that costs more than the Pi itself.

> In my testing, Hailo's hailo-rpi5-examples were not yet updated for this new HAT, and even if I specified the Hailo 10H manually, model files would not load

Laughable levels of support too.

As another datapoint, I've recently managed to get the 8L working natively on Ubuntu 24 with ROS, but only after significant shenanigans involving recompiling the kernel module and building their library for python 3.12 that Hailo for some reason does not provide outside 3.11. They only support the Pi OS (like anyone would use that in prod) and even that is very spotty. Like, why would you not target the most popular robotics distro for an AI accelerator? Who else is gonna buy these things exactly?

Yeah agreed, there were some minor gains, but new releases are mostly benchmark overfit sycopanthic bullshit that are only better on paper and horrible to use. The more synthetic data they add the less world knowledge the model has and the more useless it becomes. But at least they can almost mimic a basic calculator now /s

For api models, OpenAI's releases have regularly not been an improvement for a long while now. Is sonnet 4.5 better than 3.5 outside pretentius agentic workflows it's been trained for? Basically impossible to tell, they make the same braindead mistakes sometimes.

> it is not okay to consider that this labor fell from the sky and is a gift, and that the people/person behind are just doing it for their own enjoyments.

Is that not what most of open source is? Things people make for themselves because they either found it fun or solved their own problem, then published it for others to use for free. Most projects are not worth the bureaucratic tax related headaches the income from them would bring (maybe that's just my EU showing).

What's not okay is demanding new features or to fix something urgently. That's paid territory.

Honestly this post is such a shit take it's borderline intentional ragebait.

I needed some gears generated recently, and figured I could just get it done with Claude or Chatgpt in OpenSCAD in a few minutes... but oh man was I wrong. I was so wrong.

Wasted half an hour generating absolute nonsense if it even compiled and ended up going with one of those svg gear generators instead lmao.

You'd probably have been better off giving it a basic summary of OpenSCAD grammar and asking for a C or Python program to emit the code.

That worked! I didn't have to give it the grammar, though. https://github.com/knicholes/llm-gears

Small yes, efficient no. It's more or less on par with comparable minipcs in power draw, needs an active cooler and idles at over 3W. That's more than a Pi 2 uses going flat out. They keep increasing power draw with marginal efficiency gains and don't bother to do much power management. It's absolutely atrocious compared to the average smartphone SoC.

I really hope there's some kind of battery oriented low wattage high efficiency version planned someday, because we're up to requiring a 5A power supply and it's getting absurd.
