"When compared to Intel-based systems, it delivers up to 86x faster AI performance"
I'm imagining the engineers responsible for running the tests finely tuning the test suite for days and days so they could get that number into the press release, lol. There's no way that's a coincidence and someone definitely advocated for that line being the way it is.
In my free time I (Along with some co-conspirators) run raves/music events for @echochamberbne and while we've got a decent amount of lighting hardware due to my poor spending decisions, a projector (which I also have due to the aforementioned) with live visuals is top of the pile for impact over effort spent.
Today I went down a rabbit hole looking at VJ tools like touch designer and resolume, then I got lead to a long expired link to a beta test of this app; on looking up the creator to find the source I realized that the tool got officially released yesterday.
I thought you were being handwave-y about the signal being returned because that's an obscenely small amount of power, but you're right. Hardware that is probably 50 years old at this stage, in the cold of (interstellar)space, and we're still able to talk to it despite the signal after its long journey back being ~0.000000000000000001w.
Note of caution to the hoarders: I had a copy of flashpoint 11 on one of my drives and recently tried to move it to another disk... after two days of robocopy doing it's thing less than half of the files had been moved.
Obviously 1.4TB is enormous so long copy operations should be expected, but the sheer number of files makes it hilariously difficult to manage if you ever want to move it after extraction.
