It blows a hole in all sorts of internet activities. We're going to have to rework a lot from scratch when it goes through. And of course the big internet companies won't complain about it because it gives them legislative capture

That bit isn't as bad as the part that says you can't run an interactive service without age verification though....

I wonder whose code this was trained on? I guess it's interesting that this is quite a popular search result on Github: https://github.com/search?q=plane+spotter+language%3AJavaScr...

I prescribe a viewing of "Carry On at your Convenience" to cure that sentiment: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carry_On_at_Your_Convenience

This is correct. I experience hypnogogic and -pompic hallucinations, and the same technique works to experience them more vividly and for extended periods of time.

This did occur to me - the usage "Defense Contractor" - thanks for the clarification.

For the Americans coming into this thread later today (or up very late), it bears repeating that "contracting" arrangements in the US vs. EU/UK are very different beasts. Historically in the UK, contracting was/is a high

It's a lot easier to clear capital expenditure than revenue expense.

What is infuriating about this is that this should be a solved optimisation problem, but it has probably been outsourced on the cheap to some bog-standard web dev team who have tried to figure it out from first principles. It's a bit l

Interesting. My brother-in-law teaches in Bologna and has just been affected by this. He was literally just telling me about it 30 mins before I saw this here! The algo didn't match his first preference, then ditched him for subsequent

Fantastic stuff. Now I can integrate an age-verification system so that don't end up in legal hot-water thanks to the Online Safety Act..... /s? In all seriousness, this looks like a fabulous project. Congratulations to those behi

I'm pretty sold on Mastodon now, but I am wondering what it's failure mode looks like. Everything eventually gets worse - how might this happen with Mastodon?

I wasn't installing anything, I was trying to make the built in functionality work.

Windows, the Lada of operating systems. I had to try and get my wife's laptop working with the VPN the other day. Worked fine on Mac and Linux, but on Windows, I had to uninstall a load of drivers and then do a registry hack. What a pi

Our Ryanair flight was delayed by about eight hours the other day (unrelated to yesterday's outage), and they didn't even bother to apologise. I find that unacceptable, but they're monopolists, so we don't get to choose

Oh I see, sorry yes. That said, there are certain ICs which are simply too funky for FPGAs to manage, for example the SID chip, which had a number of analogue components on the IC to enhance the sounds it produced. Having a hobbyist method

It feels like the FPGA market probably has this covered, although I appreciate that it's a bit like using a hammer to open an egg. Is there a modern equivalent to the ULA, or do low-end FPGAs handle this sort of thing?

It's interesting. I saw this post after reading today's post about about Jake Seliger, and his brave and philosophical approach to death from squamous cell carcinoma. The title felt oddly hollow.

Even 10h was slow compared to just stosb-ing the video memory. Shame this doesn't seem very practical on the Pi.

Oh but there was a time when it was in the ascendant phase of the peak of inflated expectations, similar to the enthusiasm for LLMs at the moment.

That's a good shout, actually.

Yeah I thought it made sense more in the context of this conversation. Videotaping is one thing, publishing that is another. If I were a member of staff at a company during a rough point, and had to make a tough speech, I might be upset if

Hahah, I assume you've seen the OOP implementation? Quite a thing. I believe it was added when OOP was in fashion.

My mistake - I was reading the RISC OS documentation and assumed that SWI &31 in RISC OS ( not x86) was a hardware interrupt call and not something specific to RISC OS itself - apologies, middle of the night, brain fog!

by b800h 3y ago
Q: Can you not write directly to video memory on the Pi, rather than do this cumbersome mailbox stuff? EDIT: Apparently calling SWI &31 would give you the location, allowing direct access

The transpilers I've seen have created some extraordinary Java. If you've experience of the COBOL "Data Division", imagine how that gets ported across to an object oriented language.. But I still agree with you. I'v
