Sadly this is not a joke nor some doomsday thinking. Google recently repurposed thousands of phones for server needs. Why? Well guess why… to teach everyone tis coming.
To clarify: UC San Diego is planning to build a cluster of 2000 Pixel phones for computer science class use and Google, in support, helped with a test with 20 phones.
To show they’re working on reducing the impact of data centres on the environment, and that they’re taking action on e-waste, all while saying their pixel phones are so powerful they can be clustered into servers.
And their announced test with 2000 phones, where one server is 25-50 phones, is only 40-80 servers. Interesting, but hardly hyper scale.
I am not aware of a LoRa custom transport yet, but that is not unexpected given that the custom transport API is relatively new, and our main focus has been on getting iroh 1.0 out of the door.
Im putting together a foraging map which correlates wood, heat, temp, and whatnot to tell me where various edible fungi fruit. It is mostly working so far, has bike trails and we tested it at least once.
The most challenging part was getting MVTs to fly but it is very fast already even in mobile. The fun part is tarring the solver solves correctly :) no public version though but I can upload a screen grab somewhere should anyone be interested.
Sounds interesting! What type of data are you using? I am building something also related to the fungi world, but far less ambitious: a logging diary to identify and log findings so it's easy to log those findings without phone signal.
In 7th grade social studies, I did a report for a class project, and printed the Karateka opening screen on my apple image writer as the cover page. I got an A+ because of that cover!
this’ the other Max from China, where they be scavenging leftover panels. The Mad Max we know surely happens somewhere else, and perhaps near Texas given all the participating parties…
