16:34 verisimilitude I was considering how longterm video compression could work, recalling the storage formats are compromises. I figure encoding video frames could be most space-efficient were each pixel controlled by a dedicated computer that could encode things such as colour, but also interact with other pixels.
16:35 verisimilitude This would also allow integrating high-level drawing primitives at the low-level of screen access. It's certainly not von Nuemann.
16:41 asciilifeform verisimilitude: it aint that it's a bad idea, as such (imho obv. implication of 'non-vm comp') but do consider, asciilifeform for instance atm is sitting in front of ~25e6 24bit pixels.
16:42 asciilifeform *non-vn
16:44 verisimilitude That's only hundreds of millions of pixels. A new processor has billions in a smaller area.
16:45 verisimilitude I think I misread that notation, actually.
16:48 verisimilitude Yes, it's an order of magnitude fewer pixels. Even 4K would only have a few million.
16:48 asciilifeform verisimilitude: that's 25mil ~visible~ pixels (3 x 4k lcd). i wasn't even counting the buffers.
17:00 verisimilitude Still, if transistors be not scarce, it's a neat idea to distribute some computation.
17:01 asciilifeform verisimilitude: i'd much like a FPGA where each LUT has a pixel output. but not expecting such a thing to be made (even if moore's law were not dead)
