    I recall reading the original research paper from a student who made the same RF ‘camera’ here in hacker news.

    My favorite space probe is the European Space Agency Philae. It probes the comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko and actually landed on it. It was able to send back images of its surface…

    Maybe a system running a local model is not so bad. The tokens per second will allow for that break? Also, at what point does AI take over for all the thinking and white board plan…
