This morning, I woke up with this video with some wonders of our world, posted by @nhok on Mastodon.
Be surprised and enjoy this glance at what our earth offers 8,000 meters below sea level.
(I haven't seen anything like this from Mars yet đ)

@paulschoe @nhok it looks like AI and there's not a source given.

Thanks, Evan, I'll keep an eye open and will post here if I get any confirmation on reality or of proof of AI.

@paulschoe @nhok there's a good article in Nature from this year showing discoveries of animal ecosystems at that depth. They are chemo synthetic -- they live off the energy from volcanic vents. Unfortunately, they don't look a lot like the animals in nhok's video.

@paulschoe @nhok here it is on Instagram. Still no credit!

@paulschoe @nhok i don't think either one is the source though. đ¤ˇđźââď¸

Supersized Calculator Brings the Whole Intel 4000 Gang Together
Though mobile devices and Apple Silicon have seen ARM-64 explode across the world, thereâs still decent odds youâre reading this on a device with an x86 processor â the direct descendant of the worldâs first civilian microprocessor, the Intel 4004. The 4004 wasnât much good on its own, however, which is why [Klaus Scheffler] and [Lajos Kintli] have produced super-sized discrete chips of the 4001 ROM, 4002 RAM, and 4003 shift register to replicate a 1970s calculator at 10x the size and double the speed, all in time for the 4004âs 50th anniversary.
We featured this project a couple of years back, when it was just a lonely microprocessor. Adding the other MSC-4 series chips enabled the pair to faithfully reproduce the logic of a Busicom 141-PF calculator, the very first to market with Intelâs now-legendary microprocessor. Indeed, this calculator is the raison dâetre for the 4004: Busicom commissioned the whole Micro-Computer System 4-bit (MCS-4) set of chips specifically for this calculator. Only later, once they realized what they had made, did Intel buy the rights back from the Japanese calculator company, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Since its history, it belongs in a museumâ and thatâs where this giant, FET-based calculator is going. If you happen to be in Solothurn, Switzerland, youâll be able to see it at a new history of technology exhibit opening at the Enter Museum in 2026. Do check out the write-up and links at 4004.com if you want to learn about this important piece of human history.
The museum-quality hack. Three 4003 shift registers are on the left, with a 4001 ROM above the 4004 CPU in the center, flanked by three 4002 RAM âchipsâ on the right. Photo by [Klaus Scheffler].We had to specify âfirst civilian microprocessorâ at the start of this article because the US Navy beat them to the punch by a whole year, and kept it secret until 1998. Thereâs something very 1970s about the fact that top-secret US military technology was reinvented for a Japanese calculator within a year. It honestly makes [Federico Faggin], the man credited with the design, seem no less visionary than when we thought he was first out of the gate.

@evan Actually it dawns on me that it sounded kind of elitist. In fact, both of us feel headach-ey after a couple hours of video, and I watch live sports a couple nights a week and we both have music sessions on certain weeknights, so it's not out of disdain for TV. Currently watching Sandman Season 2.
