Gemini also suggests driving. I followed up with:

"How short would the distance need to be for me to prefer walking?"

The answer included (paraphrasing for succinctness):

* Technically 0 because otherwise "the car is technically in a different location than the car wash."

* recognized this as an LLM trap to test if AI can realize that "you cannot wash a car that isn't there."

* Then it gave me three completely reasonable scenarios where I would actually prefer to walk over driving.

Did you consider connecting the usb3300 to the PIO?

Sorry just to clarify - it isn't my project. I just thought it was a great post with some really helpful tips!

The issue was not with PIO. It was with the fact that both rp2040 and rp2350 only support usb1.1, which doesn't have enough bandwidth to do uncompressed ~320x240x16bpp@60Hz.

I thought chips need to be radiation-hardened to work in space.

A valid point.

For sure. This was a great read, thank you for taking the time to put it together.

My favorite is the M-20 though. Chunky and powerful.

you are not misremembering.

Let's be honest: you don't have the slightest idea about what you're talking about.

TensorFlow lost because it’s an inferior API and dev UX. Hate to break it to you.

I’m sure it got Jeff a lot of high-fives because it’s very complicated though!
