@zeke @fknretardlol @Dagnar @GoyGirl @LordOfTheKangs @Rlyn @ShowMeYourLibrary it didn't catch on because of its "better" recording limit of an hour and twenty minutes. Its single advantage was the possibility of being used for digital audio (like a DAT) with adapter hardware for the recorder.
Once VHS hit the market, Beta was continuously playing catchup in both recording length and video quality. For example, to reach the low-end VHS 2 hour length with existing tapes, Sony gave you the option to cut quality in half on their second gen machine.
It wasn't a fixed standard and evolved over time, as VHS did. Eventually, it could fit 5 hours on a tape (VHS could do 8.)

featherwolf is also now a real game, albeit a simple one.

Alright, I should know better to engage with certain types of discourse :tm: but I need to talk about something in particular.
Datacenters. Because apparently I need to point out that the size and scale of AI datacenters *in particular* are categorically different from traditional data centers.
For one, the things that are going into them are different. In traditional webapp contexts you don't need a warehouse full of Nvidia H100s that pull 1000W *by themselves* (depending on the version)

@lolitechengineer I have 128, I really wanted 256, when I could afford that (can't remotely afford it now) but it wasn't available. at this point though, the really great models won't run on 256 anymore either :sadge:

Doing a bunch of adjustments to featherwolf, that's the name of the demo I'm building. Missed some really obvious optimizations and got back like 91K of memory (out of 520) which adds a bunch of headroom.
I investigated the person that ported entire DOOM to the same board. They get away with it because they're not doing full color and not doing 640x480. and they've got an 8MiB PSRAM expansion on it. And they're triple-overclocking the CPU.
So, what I'm doing is more interesting technically, imo, even if I admit their porting feat is very impressive.

They don't know that. I'm Gen-X and they think I'm a boomer. Basically, if you look at least 10-15 years older than them, you're a boomer.
