ARM borrowed most of its design from 6502. So if you learn 6502, you've learned many of the tricky parts of ARM (such as how the carry flag works with subtraction). Many of the instructions have similar mnemonics, such as the conditio

The hairy part the 6502 instruction set is Subtract With Carry, and the confusion about how the carry flag works as a result of subtracting or comparing. SBC is implemented by adding the ones-complement (XOR FF) of the number or register.

The game that gave me motion sickness was Yooka-Laylee, and it might have been due to all the frame rate dips and hiccups.

Usually it's just a Markov Chain rather than an LLM to generate the garbage data.

There's also the other kind of AI haters who do not give any anti-bot indicators about their tarpits (no robots.txt entry, no "nofollow", etc), and want to intentionally feed them poisoned data.

Is this actually 1.58 bits? (Log base 2 of 3) I heard of another "1.58 bit" model that actually used 2 bits instead. "1.6 bit" is easy enough, you can pack five 3-state values into a byte by using values 0-242. Then

Whenever I want to upscale, I use an Edge-Directed algorithm, such as SuperXBR. Diagonal lines stay diagonal and don't turn into blurry boxes.

One example of a "Project B" happening was between Nintendo and Citizen during the time of the Game Boy. Citizen had a color LCD screen available, and there was progress on designing a handheld game console to use that screen. B

I remember watching the XBOX talk. The one thing that really stood out was how the Flash ROM happened to contain a previous version of the hidden ROM sitting right there. While it didn't exactly match the release version, it still pr

Can you open a tiny iframe then scroll it to a particular location on the page, or does HTML and JS not allow that?

Well I just thought of something obvious... Have a function that lets you pass in an ArrayBuffer, then it brings it into the virtual address space of the WASM program. Function would return the virtual address that was assigned to that ar

I just wish WASM could use more than one ArrayBuffer at a time. Would eliminate unnecessary copying for interop with JS code.

Even something like a special URL that auto-bans you can be abused by pranksters. Simply embedding an <img> tag that fetches the offending URL could trigger it, as well as tricking people into clicking a link.

My favorite maze generation algorithm was the really simple one where you have a cursor, you push your coordinates to the stack, then remove a wall to a random unvisited square that's adjacent to the cursor. When you run out of possib

Seems like a homebrew program that uses the Miracle Piano would be a lot nicer to use than a Famicom keyboard.

Would not suggest vinyl for kids. That's a needle on the record player, it scratches everything up. Not easy to aim the arm to the beginning of the track. Tapes are more foolproof. If you put them in the wrong way, the player won&#x

I'd think "Synchronys SoftRAM" could be considered a bigger flop in terms of the actual quality of the product, but it was a successful scam.

File IO was extremely hard on the early home computers, so it was very unlikely to have the ability to save and load the tree. And with such short code, there's no way to balance the tree either.

What if you run these assets through a Stable Diffusion model (img2img) to generate something else?
