> Math is, of course, an ideal field for AI to work in.
I find it interesting that you state this as obvious. When ChatGPT was introduced four years ago, the argument was that language was fuzzy and probabilistic and that LLMs would thereby never work in math.

I struggle to find good resources on this topic. The few I found indeed attribute the lower latency of more recent Wi-Fi generations to techniques like MLA and OFDMA, not necessarily the frequency (which makes sense, of course). The cudy link makes it look like channel congestion is a factor, too.

While it already is a very deep discussion, like most it does not discuss the latency improvement that 6 GHz Wi-Fi brings. Afaik Wi-Fi 6E 6 GHz has a latency of 5 ms and less, while Wi-Fi 6 comes with about 10 ms at 5 GHz.

As usual, the Apple design is a great baseline:

It doesn't provide full volume output under Android, though.
Otherwise, the CS43131 DAC powers some great designs. I can't comment on their durability, though. https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/j...

I would guess so, as the BC-250 is basically a PS5 with 24 instead of 36 CUs. For the curious:

I would guess that he could leverage the APU support that was merged with Mesa 25.1.

I second this, although since the Pixel 8(a) they all come with USB-C 3.2 and DisplayPort support. You have to buy a cable that supports it, though.

I'm on board as soon as they include a zoom camera.
But for now it seems like I'll remain with a Pixel and GrapheneOS.

That threw me off, too. They probably chose it to keep the costs low. I wonder about the overall impact, though.

It's because of the bigger VRAM - 70B parameters don't fit into the 4090's 24GB.
