Oddly, the article didn't mention it - but the watch does have wifi.

Waiting for my ManT1S: https://www.crowdsupply.com/silicognition/mant1s

Where are you getting 20MHz from? The OG ESP32 is a dual-core 240MHz micro...

Always double-check an LLM, particularly when it's just a quick(er) search away: https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/genrst/index.html Specifically: JSON is built-in, logging is…

It's a good _start_; much more code needs to be written to allow control of the hardware of those devices (GPIO, I2C etc).

Support for more micros, a whole swag of new features and bugfixes - and further improvements to automated testing.

I can't reveal specific implementation details but I work for Planet Innovation: https://planetinnovation.com/ Some of our products use MicroPython though we also use a whole host …

> Then why do they have 1300 issues open? There are 420 pull requests not merged... Because it's a large, widely-used project with relatively few core developers. Many other projec…

Unit test coverage is exceptionally high for the interpreter , and always has been: https://micropython.org/resources/code-coverage/ ('py' folder: 99.2% line, 88.7% branch coverage…

Carefully, at least for devices with higher classifications. Using pre/early allocation helps but, more importantly, we monitor memory use over time in realistic scenarios. We've b…

Those are generous resources for MicroPython. And it'll be faster and less quirky to develop in than either Berry or Lua.

Yes, we use MicroPython for medical device development up to class B.

Speed: maybe, sometimes. Of course, MicroPython makes it very easy to create modules written in C, accessible from MicroPython. So if you need extra perf you can always write a sma…

It's obviously not directly comparable - each port will be different - but startup time is https://github.com/micropython/micropython/issues/8420

Yes, it was chosen for low size and memory constraints. But it is limited in features (like counted repetitions): https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/library/re.html so alternat…

Yes, although MicroPython is focused on running on microcontrollers it can be useful if you want to reduce memory consumption, flash space and even startup time on servers. The cha…

Using search engines are still _significantly_ faster for me for the vast majority of the queries I want answers for. The results from LLMs are still too slow, vary too much in qua…

Then it could be exposed to MicroPython, presumably relatively easily...

Cool visualisation! It was somewhat amusing that MicroPython isn't in MicroPythonia but Arduinoria...and CircuitPython is in PicoPythonia. :)

I am one of those masochists frequently with 200+ tabs open and Firefox does an excellent job managing them. Prefix a query with '%' to search only within open tabs.

You're far more optimistic than I about our government being able to implement a secure, reasonable solution for age verification. COVIDSafe was the last technical undertaking and …

Have you tried `mpremote`? It's the standard tool by the MicroPython team that allows - among other features - you to mount your PC filesystem on a MicroPython device. It's a very …

Absolutely, this would be a straightforward MicroPython project :)
