I have the GPD Win Mini and it fits fine in my cargo pant pockets.

How many people wear cargo pants or would be willing to switch to wearing them to carry a GPD Win Mini around vs. how many people would prefer a device that fits in any of their pockets? Look at the market share of phones vs GPD Wins and you'll have your answer

Phones are primarily communication devices though, so they're not a fair comparison.

As for cargo pants, that's usually what I wear (along with cargo shorts during summer) so I don't really see it as a problem - they're big, they're comfy, they've got big pockets - what more could a hcaker ask for? I mean, can you even call yourself a hacker if you always wear skinny jeans? Where/how would you carry all your essential gadgets?

Any ml model can be called AI now.

A* used to be called AI, now it's just an algorithm. AI is anything that is hard to do and we barely understand. Once we grok it, it's just an algorithm.

It's typically the name for the front of computer programming that is 'doing human type stuff'. Once it's not on the front and the wave has passed, the AI name moves on.

The RK3576 is a really interesting/versatile chip and it is awesome to see major effort going into baking full support into the linux kernel. I could see it opening up a ton of doors for awesome FOSS hardware projects w/ AI accelerated workloads. One idea I have (but realistically will probably never build) is an e-ink notepad with a microphone that I can ask to generate custom note-taking templates. As a niche examp…

Was thinking of making something like this with an eink board and an esp32.

Sorry but I call bullshit. There’s em-dashes all over, even in your original text. Were the editors or translators an AI? Did the editors use AI to “polish” it? The emojis used in the bullet points (which are missing from your original text, but were added in at some point) are also dead giveaways that AI was involved here.

The em dash "gotcha" is so fucking tiring at this point. It is perfectly possible, and even easy, to write e[nm] dashes manually. With compose key sequences it's barely more effort than typing a normal dash/hyphen, even. (Just compose key + `-.` for en dash, and `--` for em dash.)

I can't understand why people defend improper typography. If you're writing a proper, professional-looking blog post, they think you now should use double-minus -- instead of em-dash to make it look non-AI like, only for that reason?

In Russia, we have many typography keyboards/addons, because, well, it historically looked very silly to use double-minus or "-quotes instead of «»-quotes.

I've no idea how some countries got their typography standardized on the PCs and have it from the very beginning (Germany with their quotes for example), but the other countries need to setup external software and configuration. Apparently, US also didn't got their "third level" keyboard as a standard.

So because this article seems AI written to you, this business and project which is on it's second iteration and been around for years already, maybe isn't a project of passion in your eyes? Seems like a huge logical leap to make, based on things that it seems you cannot even exactly quantify here, as you're still not pointing out what's wrong with the text, just saying that the text is somehow "lacking of soul" or s…

The criticism is that this is a respectable project, so when you read obvious AI tells like “Honestly, …”, or “Flipper One isn't an upgrade to Flipper Zero — it's a completely different project with its own goals” in the first few paragraphs, it’s distracting and takes away from the content. A simple fix I use for AI writing is disclosing it. Here, a simple note that “this article was translated with AI assistance” w…

You're biased. AI was trained on a well-written professional texts which used these phrases and speech patterns, it was very common before the AI-generated texts. These speech patterns especially common for Russian speakers.

I'm the author of this text. It was originaly writen in a mix of russian and english WITHOUT the AI and then polished and translated by editors. Here is the original draft https://blog.flipper.net/p/b5b7e9f8-a99f-4393-bf72-23fe5a42e...

formal Russian is 'em dash heavy', here's South Korea Wikipedia arcticle in Russian, Dec 2021 version: https://ru.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%D0%A0%D0%B5%D1%8...

Ignoring references, just in article text: 5800 words (spaces); 78 em dashes (1.3%); 0 en dashes; 90 hyphens (1.5%).

English version of same timeframe: 16000 words; 0 em dashes; 32 en dashes (0.2%); 262 hyphens (1.6%).

> The emojis used in the bullet points

They're used in one list, where sub-projects are listed. Emojis used in that list are consistent with ones used for same sub-projects on Wiki https://docs.flipper.net/one Someone thought it would be better than plain text, that's it.

> First one is simple and focused First time I've heard anyone call the Flipper Zero "simple" and "focused", most people seemed to have considered it a "swiss-knife" meant to just house a bunch of features and radios, meanwhile the One has less features but more connectivity and I/O. But apparently you're not alone in feeling this, but I don't understand what from the submission makes you and others believe so, what…

Well the first one was a microcontroller. And this one is an 8-core Arm computer and the project has ambitions of some notoriously difficult things: no binary blobs, full mainline support (including a NPU), reinventing small-screen UI for more serious handheld computing, and supporting a ton of high-bandwidth interfaces. This is not a simple step up in difficulty.

> And this one is an 8-core Arm computer

...plus a 2-core Raspberry Pi RP2350 microcontroller.

It’s a bizarre feeling isn’t it? Sorry you’re having to defend the act of thinking. The problem is you can’t defend it right? Someone could say your evidence came from a prompt: “Take this article and reverse engineer a hypothetical unpolished first draft written in a mix of Russian and English” I’m not sure what the right answer is here. Fwiw I have no doubt you wrote it unassisted.

I've seen many people on reddit use AIs to translate their text. Given that it clearly puts the "default AI voice" on top of their text, it makes me think that it is a fairly inaccurate translation. I suspect something like Google Translate is still better for most people, because it seems to do better at maintaining the voice. Of course in the limit, what I'm calling "voice" simply can't be translated between langua…

In my experience, Google Translate is still so much worse than even free ChatGPT at translating that it is unusable for anything you want to put out and have it seem at least somewhat professional.

Especially the voice, ChatGPT seems to infer the formality and overall tone much better than Google Translate. YMMV.

Librem 5 already exists and is my daily driver phone though.

i mean yea but it is not ideal in a phone context. i do not think i would be able to use it knowing its limitation. hell, even my pixel 10 with GOS is making me miss a snapdragon

Goal shifting?
