It's easy to get discouraged at the state of computing, especially consumer software and the web. A recent case in point is this post by npub164knq07vpgq7h3nkm7yq5r3x0aeqvm7q0p99w8u90qmfyxv9ll0qjdc25x (npub164k…c25x): https://mastodon.nz/@gtw/112058063633743100 To be clear, I'm not criticizing that post; it resonates with me.

So, I think it would be good to have some posts pointing out useful and interesting applications that make the most of those 10+ billion transistors. No generative AI though. I don't deny that generative AI is sometimes useful, but it's such a hot topic already.
