I converted a DOS-era joystick like this, and the shift registers inside were stable at higher speeds, I don't remember needing to care about the timing much. I may have just run the clock in a for-loop during the polling loop.

Wireless ones have a switch, the wired ones all have the "maybe you have to hold a letter depending on the game, kernel version and OS" problem.

I wish they would have proper Linux and fwupd support, which they seem to have dropped.

Uh...should this have hard crashed a linux laptop running recent kernel and chrome? EDIT: Not going back there, someone please let me know which Web* technology this is based on so I can disable it, it's outside my risk profile.

Never underestimate the desire of existing systems of control or power to self-propagate.

Ma Bell used -48v DC in the US, which was backed by a giant lead acid battery at the local exchange. It was quite common to have ADSL circuits working during major power outages, so long as the modem and servers were on redundant power. It

It's arguable that those are not hallucinations, as there is not normally a misunderstanding about their (physical world) reality, just some amount of acknowledged distortion of perception of the real world.

I haven't used docker since ~2017. My clusters run on cri-o, builds are with kaniko, and some of my systems just call runc with OCI container definitions. Docker (especially its API) is a giant mess, and the sooner it's replaced b

Hallucination is a terrible model for LLM factual errors, perhaps as terrible as I could think of. Most pharmacological true hallucinogens are all about the brain not being able to properly receive input (anticholingergics, e.g. diphenhydra

At the time BSD was mired in a lawsuit from AT&T, and Linux was working but it wasn't clear it would become the most widely adopted *nix. This was Linux kernel 1.x days.

Super early linux (and MacBSD) on Macs in that era was pretty interesting. Usually there was an Mac application you would run, the computer would snow crash, and suddenly dmesg would start over-writing the screen. I have no idea how that wo

It is way, way better in the last year or so. Perfectly reasonable cards for inference if you actually understand the stack and know how to use it. Is nVidia faster? Sure, but at twice the price for 20-30% gains. If that makes sense for you

I really prefer confabulation, because there are a lot of parallels with the human brain (e.g. https://people.uncw.edu/tothj/PSY510/Schnider-Confabulation-... ). Hallucination conceptually is often about sensing fa

Specifically, this is the no-true-scotsman fallacy. It should be noted a fallacious argument doesn't mean that a non-fallacious argument doesn't exist for the same claim.

koreader is great, I have a (very) hacked up pinenote that runs koreader, and the reading experience is very good. It's also extensible enough that you can easily port/customize it to new devices or hardware.

You might be able to sell it (not sure, probably depends on what it was officially being sold for), but it wouldn't be legal for it to transmit unless it fell under some FCC approved license or statute (e.g. Part 15).

FWIW, server parts from Intel and AMD are already pretty fast, e.g. octo-channel Sapphire Rapids does something on the order of 300GB/s: https://www.ixpug.org/images/docs/ISC23/McCalpin_SPR_BW_limi...

I don't have a single mono/dotnet application or service installed on Linux, and I can't think of a popular one. Edit, also happy to provide stack traces from the ones I tried, it's not as portable as it wants to be.

You can run inference and training on consumer AMD cards today. It works fine, including llama.cpp, stable diffusion, hugging face transformers, etc. Way cheaper for a given performance/VRAM target as well.
