Printers.

Same hardware.

It seems to be principally due to lower latency (less time looking for stuff in RAM or HD) and improved power management.

Its a private university you know, they can enrol anyone they like, they don’t “owe” anyone anything.

It doesn’t have dynamic typing FFS, variable are typed. You mean declarations.

You can’t have statically typed objects, because they are of indeterminate length.

Why are people using word processors at all ? They’re only used to print letters on paper.

There isn’t any way you can make a Y/3 much cheaper, its an inherently expensive design, being essentially a cut down Model X. The fact that they lack the resources to make a new platform seems telling.

You can run Deepseek on a Raspberry Pi.

It sounds like they’re getting ready for age verification, which will be mandated in some countries this year.

because a printer that was $800 in 1995 is now $49

The problem is how do you hide what website you’re going to from the identity provider?

Not only don’t you need to, you would really have to know the generator of the token because it needs to verify that you are the user that was issued the token.

You upload identity to a site and it gives you a date stamped token which confirms your age.

Then when that token is uploaded to an SM site, it verfies the identity of the giver with the site that gives the token. The identity is a hash generated by the token site and contained in both the token and a namespace at the token site, so only the token site knows the real identity. Once the token has been confirmed, the namespace is re-used.

So you can’t really sell the token, because its linked back to the identity you uploaded to the token site. You need to be logged in to the token site.
