An absurd project of taking apart an old #calculator (Casio HS-8VA) and replacing the guts with a small computer (maybe a Raspberry Pi W?). As you type, it sends the simple keypresses (like 2+2) to a data center for an #LLM to solve.

So to use the calculator you need wifi and some kind of #OpenAI API access:

Concerning keyboards... The #Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch ID. I like how the keyboard is identical to the almost all previous MacBook Pro's I've had (including current). I literally have the same exact layout locked into memory. Zero learning curve of a new keyboard for almost 15 years now...

I do admit the IBM Model M, SSK looks good (see article below) but cheapest I see is $500 on eBay? That's a no from me dog. I'm good.

r/LocalLLM on #Reddit is such a mixed bag of idiots, morons, techbros, and people trying to exchange some #ML or #LLM information. I’ve been downvoted into the negative, losing worthless internet points, because users don’t like an honest or accurate answer. Then a meme-like comment will make it rain upvotes on me.

A week ago, a senior in front of my wife and me in line at #Costco told us, “The peaches here usually taste like 💩. But they’re really good right now! Get some!”

We did, and they are pretty delicious. #Hawaii
