My Bravia experience improved markedly when I replaced Sony’s default home screen with the Projecivity Launcher.

So algorithms then?

LLMs have some interesting properties and certainly can do a good job sifting through large amounts of raw data. They are however a very brute force approach compared to say a network routing protocol. Sooner or later people will start to realise (again) that engineering is about trade offs and you need to work out what your constraints are and stop trying to solve every problem with massive amounts of multiplication.

It was worse than that. Our understanding of radiation took awhile. While Uranium glass is probably safe I wouldn’t go using it regularly. A lot of women (“radium girls”) suffered from cancers induced by licking their brushes when painting luminescing instruments. This comic looks like 50s era when post the bomb sci-fi was full of “atomics” as the stuff of the future.

If there are no “fast” processors why even bother trying to port a general purpose OS like Fedora to it.

I think a lot of the initial growth of RISCV has been in the embedded space with microcontroller scale chips. Even for Arm it took some time to get to the point they where shipping data center class devices. Arguably personal computing is still lagging for Arm.
