This is interesting and the world models predicting the next frame is huge. I'm also wondering on how this would be applicable to neurological proceesses, thoughts etc.

If thoughts become quantifiable and measurable enough would similar models be able to predict the next one? Wondering what the impact of that would be.

Couldn't find any cost estimate, but from https://openquantumdesign.org/the-quantum-computer (scroll down to "What's Inside") I'm guessing 100's of k$ for the bill of materials (let alone keeping the thing going.)

So the "you" in "your own" has to have pretty deep pockets...for a relatively low fidelity 30 qubit device.

Okay so not a weekend project.

You might not see this for a while, but that sounds nice!

Do you use tools to download everything you need for offline viewing or just notes?

They better invest in frame designs too cause as soon as they're recognizable they're gonna get slapped off faces real quick

The long term goal might indeed be unrecognizable designs. Perhaps augmented reality contact lens. It will take a long time but people tend to slowly get used to giving more and more of their privacy away. Mojo Vision made a prototype of this. It's more the display but you can imagine the camera being somewhere else and streaming to the lens in an unobstructed way.

As someone who worked on kindle power consumption many years ago: One of the (by far) biggest consumers of power is the WiFi connection. It has to wake up and respond to the AP in order to not get disconnected every x seconds.

Off the top of my head, I think 'on' average power consumption was ~700uA without wifi, and about 1.5mA+/- with Wifi. This is from over a decade ago, so my memory is fuzzy though...

Obviously, page changes used relatively large amounts of power. I don't recall the exact amounts, but it was 100s of mA for seconds.

There is also an "every x pages, do a full screen refresh (black to white)" to fix up the ghosting issue that the article writer saw.

wonder if small amorphous silicon photovoltaic cells glued around the kindle would provide enough power to not charge every 5 days

Nice project.

This makes me think I should make my plants vibe code games or tools to optimize their well being! Maybe bio-electrical fluctuations --> vibe coded humdifying tools and games

You have it backwards, great opportunity to start a niche competitor for whatever feature they'll remove once the acquisition is done!

nanobuilds · 16 days ago

Yea it's not easy to build a Stripe competitor although we need some.

I'm sure those savings will be passed down to passengers!

This is a hilarious personal website! Love it. Even better that it's paired with quality content.

Same. Some good music too.

nanobuilds · 18 days ago

So what is a "good-enough" model to use for OpenClaw now that the subscriptions are blocked. Is there an all you can eat subscription model that can be used?

nanobuilds · 16 days ago

in case someone else is looking for this.. openai-codex/gpt-5.3-codex is working okay for now but eventually i'd like to switch to a self hosted one somewhere.
