My weirdest talent is probably the fact that I can do a lot with my legs and feet. ''Pick up clothes and swing it up into my hands without having to bend down.'' Using it sort of like extra arms.
This probably developed becourse of the chronic bad*snip*

If you get a system with 16gb of memory. You should be able to use any future ai. I bought these cheap 2 mini pc's a while ago which both had 16gb of memory.
Audacity its ai, as an example, requires 16gb of memory as I understand.

LLM code translation Monkey>Javascript

I tried to translate a old Monkey 2 project over to Html with embedded Javascript.
The project had all its gfx as code, and no other external files. Was only 65 kb in total.
I used Poe and the Claude 2k Opus bot. This one costs 12000 credits per prompt. *snip*

Amd normally has the better build in GPU. But before buying I usually spend time comparing benchmarks and workloads. I went for Intel last time for its single core performance.

Turns out there is a problem with the screens. People complaining about weird pixel effects. No official reply yet from apple. But it might be a hardware problem.

So if you show chatGPT a screenshot of a video game. And ask it to code that. It wil. The demonstration showed someone gpt a screenshot of breakout. And it made the exact same thing in python.
@dr_cintas at twitter showed how it was done.

Benchmarks video's and other sources are mentioning cpu single/multi core and igpu improvements of 40+%. This versus the m2.
The lower priced iPad pros do have less cores. You need a 2000 pound or euro model to get all the gpu and cpu cores. This then*snip*

I took a subscription to chatGPT. The voice chat stil wont connect though.
Poe has gpt4o too now. Gemini might get a update too as there is a Google show today or tomorrow.

There was this new robot showcased today too. Costs 16.000 dollars. It can solder and crack wallnuts. I imagine being able to have a house robot in a few years that is just like having a human around.

It can sing too it seems.
The singing experience here of the bots is beginner. I hope they could be as good as possible so it might just be recordable into a daw?

Not that impressed. It looks like the voice assistant can help you code.
It can throw its voice. It did emotional states, and a robotic voice. I hope it can do any voice for story telling. Say a old wizard and a king and such. But that might be asking to *snip*

I thought it was 17:00 Amsterdam time. But Google translates it to 19:00 Amsterdam time. So that is 18:00 London time.

Someone mentioned over on X it is like the voice assistant in the movie 'Her'.
I just watched a bit of the movie. Would be interesting, and maybe a bit 'scary' to talk to something like that in the beginning.

OpenAI releasing a new voice assistent later today. Might be as real as talking to a actual person this time.

The cpu performance compared to the old m2 and the new m4 is rather a big leap. Single core the m4 now should be the fastest consumer chip available. 3800 in geekbench 6. 14000 for multi core.
Gpu adds only 10.000 point. So maybe 20% it seems. Close to 54*snip*

I wil wait for the benchmarks and in-depth testing. Cpu at +50 % compared to m2. Single core probably minimal? Rendering at x4.
For visual programming and 3d programming it would be a powerful device. The lower end model starts at 256gb now. The 16gb memo*snip*

New Apple pencil it is rumored. Probably for the new pro iPad only. I barely use the older pencil. The battery life is not that great with these.
I'm stil hesitant to invest in a new iPad. Should the m4 be real good though. But it might only be a mino*snip*
