Ollama made it trivial for me to use claude code on my 48GB MacMini M4P with any model, including the Qwen3.5…nvfp4 which was so far the best I’ve tried. Once Ollama has a Mac friendly version of Gemma4 I’ll jump right on board (and do educate me if I’m missing something).

absolute n00b here is very confused about the many variations; it looks like the Mac optimized MX versions aren’t available in Ollama yet (I mostly use claude code with this)

> AV1 on RK3576, which has very preliminary support

This peaked my interest, but I have no idea which device might have a RK3576

Thanks :) I’ll try to remember

Backwards. The incompetent Transmeta board picked a VP from NVIDIA to be the CEO and his first action was to kill the IBM contract and move to TSMC, and forced TSMC to use a new unqualified process. This left us without chips to sell for over a year and notebook venders were furious and never returned.

This is what killed Transmeta, not all the technical details.

Thank you for correcting me. I don't know where I heard the story I mentioned.

The Dynamo project was the genesis of a similar effort at Sun Microsystems which was the genesis of Transmeta Corp (all founders came from Sun). The question remains if the original study was flawed or if the situation was just too different for our x86 workloads.

I wrote an entire graphical Go-game tree based editor in Lisp, with a stylus on PalmPilot. I considered it an artistic expression.

I wrote my own lisp interpreter in C inside Termux. My language might be the first to be born inside a smartphone.

Respect.

As I hate tapping on glass, mistyping non-stop, I’m always evaluating options. This is an awesome project and a great write up, but we want more! :) Please consider published a video so we might see it in action (also showing the build process would be appreciated).

Twiddler really isn’t the same product at all

Yes, but this is way beyond that IMO. Really lovely project that I of course must build

Back then it was extremely rare for me to play anything more than a few minutes but Syndicate was fun, not too hard, and I remember finishing it. I was recently feature on a retro gaming YT channel which I suppose is why it’s here.
