Could it be a lack of resources? Or some missing expertise? Maybe they could find some interns who are familiar with it? Maybe the entire world is so obsessed w AI, we don't even care about image formats anymore.

Oh phew, theyre only getting about $2mm each. I thought they were going to get severely overpaid there for a minute! ;)

Then why are ppl buying it? Why not spin up clones on open platforms?

I know. It's not even an imaginative idea. So many more creative people are out there with more interesting desires. I wish ppl who get confused into thinking yarvin's ideas are compelling enough to strive for would divert thei

I have been able to get chatgpt to synthesize in the edges of two domains in ideaspace, say, psychology and economics, but surprisingly it struggled helping me write ODE code in go. In the first case, I think it actually synthesized. In t

Pine trees specifically are low quality wood. Key issues with natural wood generally are warping due to humidity and misaligned fibres, strength, rot.

You got downvotes but im a firmware eng and can point out more esp deficiencies. #1 completely fake FPU that they lie aboutm. #2 awful memory bandwidth. Not only slow but unpredictable. #3 small onboard memory. #4 low clock speed.

Just for pure whimsy and it's hacker news and the year is close to 0x800 so I wanted to see if I could count backwards in hex in my head. The first half of tracing woodgrains was on-point. The 2nd half diverged into half-truth. They

I put the date in hexadecimal for whimsy. If you convert and search, youll find it.

Give this a whirl: https://chatgpt.com/share/6813d85a-4d20-800f-881a-9b6133281d... I fed it the article and asked for a python sim.

Same thing for "systemic racism." I told people it's totally a real problem, but for crying out loud, don't shoot yourself in the foot but calling it that. Only the most open-minded 1% or fewer will cop to their own im

I took that to mean it takes less pico cpu power to reach the same cycle-accuracy. Esp since there arent graphics routines in the c64 to speak of! There are no plot, screen clear, line, etc. Every program rolls its own. As a joke a real f

I love it. Ive been reviving a stack of 4 c64s i got untested for $285. I noticed CIA chip replacements cost 40-45 and was wondering if an Rpi pico could replace it! I'll bet they combined two CIAs into one. I'm curious if the

It most certainly is. This crew would rather be kings of a ruined plantation of a country than to have a middle class with any economic or political power. And that goes double for their attitude toward non-whites. Every lower middle clas

That's so random bc this game still pops up on my memory frok time to time. For a bit I had a 80286 and the actual CGA adaptor to play this game in the right resolution. But I also had a 486DX50 and this game careened by so fast it w

Ahhh so it had only motor that got switched in and out mechanically, eh? That must be why it was always whirring even when not moving. I guess small motors were not cheap back then :)

ahh that's probably where they got the idea :) I've heard amazing things about Forth, but never got to experiment with it. I've seen some Forth carts for C64. As soon as I get my CIA chip squared away, I should experiment :

One of the neatest things I've heard demo scene people do on the 6510/6502 is a "stack machine." I don't know exactly, but fwiw I understand, it works like this: it's using the stack page, 256 bytes from 0x100

And at the best restaurants! And I get to choose the restaurant! And choose when we eat! And pick the appetizers, drinks, entrees, and desert! So instead I will allow myself to be robbed and we'll all share the cost of a low-key res

This american admin doesnt seem to understand the benefits of leadership. Like being de facto currency, ability to operate while deep in debt, etc.

Perfect exmple of the "one-deep" conservative response. PP is looking for a pattern, finding, and abstaining from questioning or contextualizing it: Engaging only with the first or most obvious layer of an issue—never going deeper

Ive had similar results asking chatgpt to generate inout files for graphviz "dot". Pretty good. E.g. i asked it to summarize a complex article and draw the people named and their relationships. I also got it embellish the diagr
