There's a couple eyebrow raising things about this post.. like the fact that there's nothing but vague details in text and one photo with an AI prompt like alt-text. I think they're just trying to get clicks for that banner ad.
While probably it's legit because I've seen Dave discussing the process on the YT channel (which I no longer watch) he unfortunately does have form <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39813625">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39813625
Having TMOG on a .org when it sells commercial licences doesn't sit well with me given the history.
Oh, yeah - this popped up on HN yesterday too and also met with scepticism: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49772362">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49772362
Oh well, so this PDP restoration probably isn't real. Disappointing.
Well be real, you could do a lot more to make this convincing. Couple the lack of details with some other posts you've made that seem to be an attempt at advertising your software (the one with a big banner on this page), sprinkle in the AI generated website and the fact that the domain name says a different model than the page does.. this is going to raise some eyebrows.
You put all this work into a project like this, all you would need to do to prove it's real is post a selfie with the hardware.. but "interesting theory" is all you're going to say?
