Paul Hall+FollowLLMs on a 1997 Pentium: Genius or Gimmick?Who needs a $50,000 graphics card when you can run a language model on a Pentium II from 1997? EXO Labs just pulled it off—albeit at a glacial pace. Is this a testament to software optimization, or just a fun party trick? Does this challenge the narrative that AI needs cutting-edge hardware, or does speed still rule the game? Curious to hear if you’d ever try this retro experiment! #AI # #TechThrowback # #HardwareDebate # #Innovation # #LLM #Tech00Share
peterfoster+FollowWhen Planes Looked Like UFOs: The Flying WingDid you know the B-2 stealth bomber owes its cool shape to a wild 1950s experiment? The Northrop YRB-49A, which looked more like a UFO than a plane, first flew today in 1950. It had a rocky start—think constant engine headaches and wobbly flights—so the project got scrapped. But that "flying wing" idea stuck around and now helps keep the B-2 invisible on radar. Sometimes, the weirdest ideas just need time to shine! #AviationHistory #TechThrowback #Innovation #B2Bomber #FunFact #Business01Share

The iconic, but doomed, search assistant was encrypted into the XP installation CDs to make illegal copying harder. It filled 30MB of extra space, proving to be more useful "dead than alive"! #TechThrowback #MicrosoftBob #WindowsXP #Tech10Share

Carla Smith+FollowAnyone else remember the good old days of Windows XP? That actually was the last version of Windows I ever used. I started studying graphic design at college back in 2004, and my life has been all Macs ever since. It's wild to think how much things have changed since then. #WindowsXP #Nostalgia #TechThrowback #ThrowbackThursday #MacVsPC #RetroTech51Share
