oh that's interesting, I didn't come across these the way I was looking at it! thank you for informing us, I will read up on these and add it to the timeline!

Thank you! and it's awesome you can contribute to the subject!

You're so right that it feels so difficult to make sense of because of how cross-disciplinary it is. I hope more people invest and work on this stuff as well. I'm hoping to learn more over the years!

From hand-cranked calculators in 1952 to 435 petaflops in 2025. we went from watching single neurons fire to simulating entire bacterial colonies. exponential progress looks impossible until it isn't.

If you're interested in how it works;

ESP32 with a camera module streaming images, Go microservice to receive and serve live images and a little front-end trickery that transitions between live images to make it feel like a video.

All in about $20 in hardware. ~1% sustained CPU use server-side to handle the "stream" on a small web server, and it doesn't seem to budge even with ~100 concurrent viewers at one point... (far more bearable than serving up an actual 24/7 live stream from a web server).

Mostly likely won't keep it pointed at my workspace, thinking of pointing it at 3D printer after the weekend maybe.
