This thread is for anyone working on personal projects to share their progress, and hold themselves somewhat accountable to a group of peers.
Post your project, your progress from last week, and what you hope to accomplish this week.
If you want to be pinged with a reminder asking about your project, let me know, and I'll harass you each week until you cancel the service.

Notes -
With the caveat that my semi-informed opinion plus experience will, with $7, buy you a latte at Starbucks, I think that the new fabs will help, but prices will still be above average unless an AI crash tanks the chip market in that time frame. I don't think such a thing is out of the question, and I expect some sort of market correction is inevitable in the long run, but I now grok why AI demand for wafers in general and memory in particular is so insatiable, which in turn leads me to believe that looking for lower prices in the medium term will be a coin flip at best. I'm personally glad that I went the other direction and decided eff it, I'm getting in now on a good deal and I'll let the chips fall where they may, and my only ragret is that I didn't spend the extra ~$1600 when I had the chance and go whole hog. I expect that if you're willing to buy used, you should be able to find something more than suitable when you're ready to make the purchase, and even if you want new, the budget/mid-tier stuff is plenty capable of suiting your needs. The performance of the Steam deck is instructive there.
