    I still go back to Ben's memorial page every couple of years. It's rare for any webpage to stay online for so long. It really speaks to the impact he had. I mainly knew Ben from #trax, and he sent me some computer hardware.

    I wonder if you were to train a modern AI video generation tool with tons of these old VHS tape videos, if it could produce videos like this with the exact blur/grain/noise/feeling typical of playing back early 90's VHS tapes. If given enough compute power it should be identical IMO.

    @@JimLeonard Hmm with the way things are going with AI nowadays (nearly every week there's some new AI story on the news (NBC Nightly News) that shows amazing (and sometimes scary) stuff. It's my opinion that soon, maybe in 10-15 years or so, consumer GPUs will be powerfull enough to do away with Z-buffered scanline or raytraced graphics rendering techniques, and use a pure AI approach instead, with graphics that look %100 real... I also think it's just a matter of months or years before you can go and see the "Toy Story of AI" in the cinemas, with AI rendered graphics...

    Notice they never play any live audio of it running. That's because it sounds like a jet engine. And wouldn't it be cheaper and easier just to tell your workers and guests to not be such slobs and stop dumping their garbage and popcorn on the floor?

    Ah, I see you've never worked in a movie theater before! Any attempts to ask people to deposit their trash in proper receptacles is usually seen as a challenge by teenagers for how much they can do the opposite. I'm sure you're right that the noise is deafening. Most of the example footage showed them using it after hours when all the workers were gone :⁠-⁠)

    Hello! I came here to talk about the Demoscene Your team and other Demoscene groups did an awesome job! I'm a very young adult and your demos made me really love the Demoscene and the Retrogaming!! I really congrats you and everyone who contributed to the Demoscene. Your work is amazing and the music keeps in my head and will keep forever! I am amazed by the technical aspect of the demos and machines, I really would like to code some programs one day, even if I don't even know how to code a simple program for now. But I got a lot of decades to go ahead! Thank you again for your team and every Demoscene groups for your amazing work. I hope that you inspired a lot of people other than me! ❤

    ​@@YuutaTogashi0707 In 1981, NEC's Terminal Units Division of the Information Processing Group launched the personal computer series N5200, which was branded as the "personal terminal". It used an Intel 8086 processor and a µPD7220 display controller. Its architecture was similar to that of the PC-98, but it mostly ran the proprietary operating system PTOS. Components from N5200 were reused in PC-98.
