Earlier quoted context omitted.

I just bought a Lootoo PAW6K after getting fed up with the iPhone and the headphone plug adapter. This player has its own OS, no WiFi or only for firmware upgrades. Has no apps and boots up under three seconds and large capacity from SD Card. The best is it just plays. What's even cooler is that it's a DAC so I can have my headphones plugged in to it and then use Spotify/Service to stream to the player. Expensive tho…

Diva, you can get an iPod nano on eBay…

I'm currently working in an iPod Nano like device based on LicheeRV Nano, TP4057, 2.8" Touch screen and a 1200mah battery. Software is buildroot and lvgl.

Not so serious ATM but looks promising so far.

Unfortunately all official sipeed 3" touch displays are sold out, probably i need to go I2C or DPI...

BitGrid - a systolic array of 4x4 bit Look Up Tables and latches. Like Faraday's first electric motor, it'll have no practical use, at first. If I'm right, it'll be somewhat useful in reducing the power consumption of AI and let us ride Moore's law for a few more decades.

I find this interesting, I saw a couple of other comments by you on this. Do you have a blog article or paper about this architecture?

The guts of an FPGA are a lot of D-flip-flops in chains, that shift in the bitstream, and then send control signals to LUTs, switching fabric, etc. What I propose is to remove most of the switching fabric, so that every cell is identical, and add latching to every cell's output, to eliminate timing (especially race conditions) as a concern.

Every cell only has short connections to neighbors, so the capacitance of high speed lines that cause such grief in large VLSI designs is mostly removed (you do still need to clock those latches, so those would take some good drive signal).

I'm betting on good, old writers that are not molested by ChatGPT. We will see troves of people getting back to Paperback & Hard Cover and people opting for pen and paper - analog - to record their daily lives.

We're just scratching the surface on Generative AI and I'm already tired of it. I got a tech book that was obviously written with the aid of ChatGPT.

I am favoring old non-fiction books for my reading pleasure - the ones that were bourne from human toil.
