With so much savings on the development, this Linux computer can be produced and sold for USD $3.14

So COOL and exciting to finally see a design with a miniaturized exothermically inductive quantum ring processor!!
Now when the support for the RISCV quantum instructions extension lands in upstream Linux, I will finally able to run QFT natively!!! HAHAHA

So when everyone replaces people with ai, who will buy your stuff, another ai ?

there is no need for anyone to sell or buy anything, people will do agriculture and be self sufficient

its for export only to less developed countries like western Europe, those who think AI is s chatbot, just concatenating words…
P.S. welcome to Schengen area!

Congratulations with the technical achievement!
Must be lonely, however, to sit alone in your offices, Tvetan. Or have you also configured ChatGPT as a conversation partner now that you’ve sacked all your colleagues?

oh nooo, no one is fired, the colleagues mow the lawn in front of the office. In Bulgaria, we have a Prophet politician who saw this situation as coming a long time ago and said prophetic words: “If there is a crisis in the IT sector, programmers can become shepherds, there is a huge demand for shepherds in Bulgaria”

I was naive enough to command StableDifussion to draw a network topology map. It ended up producing some very convincing Sci-Fi art where my wifi router looked like an octopus sending death rays to a hive of network devices around it.

Intersting design utilizing lots of prefab modules, some rapid design reuse there.
But lost of outdated chips. PLCC is not a first choice today, and a bit expensive to produce.
Looking forward to the next beautiful design. Learn by doing. I am sure it will be even greater. And maybe we can get some specifications as well?

Cool, so it will be the OliPIxino?
will the AI also do EMI and CE certification?
Weather or not, I will straight away order 2.72 of those boards!

that sounds like my friend from romania, he is also a highly skilled shepherd by training, just because of kindness and due to the lack of qualified people in my country working as electronics specialist for now

With enough motivation many person can study and re qualify to IT sector. Once we had talk with Svetlin from SoftUNI who is preparing thousands of IT specialists every year. He said I have seen brilliant minds with lot of potential and capabilities to fail during the educational process because they are lazy, inconsistent and do not put enough efforts in the learning process. In other hands people who has worked like baristas, taxi drivers etc and want to escape from the routing non creative work, learn and study hard, and at the end become top notch programmers. So *everything* is possible with right motivation.

i was just lucky to be clever enough to make it through university with my lazyness. one year more and I had to start working hard like all the others…
Recently i realised I never learned how to learn, also some kind of handicap.
on the other hand you see many people here with good degrees which only made it due to learning by heart, often studying jus.
