That's so cool! Thank you for taking the time to talk to him and give us more details in the project.

Not the best choice to begin the title with "some bits" in this context. My mind was trying to understand this sentence in a completely different way...

It is worth mentioning that in the original game you can choose to keep going after you reach 2048. This game had to remove that option to achieve a 64bit state. Still, a clever implementation.

Fair enough. What I meant by this is that, in the end, most software that decides to add webp support is doing it because of the huge push by Google to do so. But if they suddenly change that push to something else then webp might find itse

We keep hearing different variants of "webp should take over because now it has good browser support". But that is not nearly enough for an image format to reach widespread adoption. People want to be able to open the images anywh

I don't get why asking for a password multiple times is perceived as more secure. It's the same password. If an attacker was able to find it and input it once, surely they can do it multiple times too...

Not a very good analogy. Humans already have a continuous stream of thought during the day between any tasks or when we are "doing nothing". And even when asleep the mind doesn't really stop. The brain stays active: it reorga

Not only that. For a current LLM time just "stops" when waiting from one prompt to the next. That very much prevents it from being proactive: you can't tell it to remind you of something in 5 minutes without an external agent

But even then you can only tell that you are rotating relative to space itself. If I understand correctly here we are speaking about the space itself rotating, so that would not be possible unless something else contains our universe's

Similar to this: before cellphones stored all our contacts, we all used to remember several phone numbers for our main family members and friends. Sometimes even some places (like work or school). Now we don't bother and most of us onl

I don't understand how there can be 94 comments on this thread, period. I mean, plenty of more interesting topics go unnoticed and people want to talk about mailing a potato? Ok...

Google became so bad that here in Spain I've heard several different people say they now ask things to ChatGPT instead of googling them.

Maybe realizing those things is the actual test?

Impressive that they can get away with calling results like this "justice"...

I feel like any LinkedIn alternative is doomed to end the same way. Because most of its problems come from corporate culture itself.

I'd say this was done mainly to help visualize the problems better, since this is a learning video. But often problems are converted into graphs because it is a well studied field and that way you can apply many theorems and traversal

One of the first things I thought of when reading the title.

Wait some more time and photos or even video recordings will be deemed just as dangerous. And then what? Even if there is real evidence, it will have to be discarded unless it can't be sufficiently validated. It will get very hard to p

It would depend on what the end goal of the rewritten project is. If they pursue widespread adoption GPL licenses can definitely hinder it in many cases.

Chip-8 was my first emulator. Then with that knowledge I was able to implement my own 32-bit console, Vircon32.

Defending this because "it's industry standard" is no better than justifying any wrong practice because "it's always been done this way".

Not sure if I am I the only one but, when reading emulator FOR the Atari ST, I thought this would be an emulator for something else running in the ST.

Couldn't you say the same about us? It's not the brain (hardware) that is conscious, but the mind (software) running on it.

I'm surprised that ChatGPT is proactively asking questions to you, instead of just giving a response. Is this new? I don't remember this from previous versions.

Thank you! The CPU document should cover everything about the ISA itself. There are 8 addressing modes, which are covered in pages 19 and 20. MOV is the only instruction that explicitely uses them. Other instructions, at most, can only choo

It seems most people designing an ISA will do RISC, but when I designed the ISA for the Vircon32 CPU I instead took 32-bit x86 as a basis. I had done ASM in MS-DOS so it was what I knew best. I simplified it a lot in various ways but one of

Seeing both "OutRun" and "tracker" in the title I thought this would be a thread about synthwave music (which would be very cool).
