I did not remember that from when I used to use colinux. The colinux home page also says: To cooperatively share hardware with the host operating system, coLinux does not access I/O devices directly. Instead, it interfaces with emulat

IIRC, colinux is similar to user mode Linux, which boots a kernel in userland. That is, the kernel runs under windows as an application rather than alongside it.

I wanted to like viewmax, but I think Digital Research was short-sighted. They intended it to compete with dosshell.exe, but the real competitor was windows. I was excited to get to play with GEM, but I had no way to write programs for it.

I had this experience back when the glass on CRTs was curved and monitors started shipping with knobs to adjust the curvature of the image. I had used a curved-glass CRT (curved the opposite way of today's curved monitors) for so long

Can you elaborate on what it means for a model to "lose its mind"? I tried what you suggested and the response seemed reasonable-ish, for an unreasonable question.

I have no idea how things are done today but in the opengl 1.x era multiple textures would sometimes be stored in a single image, so to get a different texture you would pick different texture coords.

Sounds like this framework is comparable in size to the original Rails, which clocked in at under 1000 lines of code (microdot is 765 lines per the article). I don't know if the original Rails would have run on mruby though (if it had

I don't remember that episode. But it does not surprise me that the Cardassians would build that feature into their station.

They do need to not be slow though, which is why I usually stick with -Og.

How do you write half a line of code?

All I know about wordstar is 1) my dad used it on his kaypro luggable, and 2) I know the wordstar key commands from using Turbo C. How does wordstar compare to wordperfect 4.2 (which was my first hands-on experience with a word processor)?

Is it still possible to buy smaller SD cards in bulk, maybe 8mb or 16mb? The smallest I could find was 128mb for about the same price as a 2gb card. While I like the idea of physically separate cards for each game, at $10 per card it seems

ELKS can still run on systems without an mmu (though not microcontrollers afaik).

I'm hoping the in the future there will be an LLM that can somehow map text back to its source. Current LLMs can kinda pull it off if you ask them, but afaik they aren't trained specially for this task.

I've seen gcc+ld use a large amount of disk (dozens of GB) during LTO.

Very impressive! I had wondered where that MB manip came from. No surprise at all that it was you. :)

What I got from looking at that comparison is that runit starts a separate supervisor process for each process started. I like the cleaner process tree of nitro, but I wonder what the tradeoffs are for each.

The 404 links are truly bizarre. Nearly every link to github.com seems to be 404. That seems like something that should be trivial for a tool to verify.

When we think of computers Er think of solid state digital computers. But the first fuel injected vehicles were mechanical computers. I suspect it's still very possible to do the same today, but not practical to design. Also I'm t

Interesting. I tried to follow the discussion in the linked thread, and the only takeaway I got was "something to do with RCU". What id the simplified explanation?

Having used sqlmodel recently for a project, I was underimpressed. Documentation was sparse, I found myself going to the source code to figure out how to solve problems I ran into, and I ended up dropping into sqlalchemy a lot more than I w

Even if you had the machine, it is not enough. What was magical about that coding environment is that you could go to the store and pick up a computing magazine and type in a game. Then you could play it and tweak it as you wanted. I have

And a.out format often saves disk space over elf, despite duplicating code across executables.

Yes, 4o can be quite wordy, but the voice chat model is much more brief. The voice chat model also is more than just text-to-speech; it correctly uses intonation to signify meaning.

I saw that back in the day with icq. Two roommates in my dorm preferred to use text chat rather than engage in conversation.

I tend to agree, with current products, at least the ones I've used. But companies developing AI products would do their investors as disservice if they did not tune their models to maximize engagement. We are in the honeymoon phase

As a counter-point, I was able to write lyrics with chatgpt (lots of back-and forth to get the right "feel"), then put those words to music with suno. It took two hours of my time, and my wife definitely had an emotional response
