This article has what John Gruber calls a "dickover", where the site covers up a big part of the article to ask for money. I suggest labeling such an ask for money as a "guiltwall"
It has a CPU [1], which makes the on-device AI make a bit more sense. For comparison, an iPhone 18 pro has a CPU chip and an N1 wireless chip; I wonder how much discussion there is in Apple on combining these chips. Or would Apple combine their N1 with the C1 first?
Pretty much any MCU is going to include at least one CPU (as does the N1, it is just running the radio stack), but perhaps what you are referring to is the fact that this device has an application core? Also worth noting that there is a nRF7120E variant which includes an NPU[0] as well.
One interesting scenario is where the Sun, Jupiter, and another object are the three bodies in question. I think we could put an object at the L4 or L5 point of Jupiter's orbit (see the Trojans) and have it be stable. How large could this object be? Would an Earth-sized object be stable there? If so, how close would a passing star have to be to disturb that stability?
> We should also be realistic and revolutionary, adopting this tried-and-tested principle – what I call “teach both, test both” – for AI now. Every subject, from history to English literature, should be divided in two: teach students to use AI in one part, teach students to flourish without it in the other – and, crucially, examine both.
Makes me think of the short story "With friends like these..." by Alan Dean Foster, in which one aspect of the story has people on a future Earth living what appears externally to be a very simple (maybe hunter-gatherer) lifestyle, while still having (hidden) powerful tech
