   The feet are doing unusual movements. Reminds me of leaf node cumulative error in overcompressed hierarchical animation.

   You are not alone. I can only think that her post about being very vulnerable after chemo from immune system supression made me realize how lucky you have to be to beat cancer with chemo.

   It says, "Designed by Claude Shannon" (at least now it does) - did it formally say invented or what's put the bee in your bonnet?

   this whole article is about $100 m. - isn't that basically pocket change?

   I noticed the article steered around that figure even though it would make sense to spell it out but that wouldn't bolster their gasping thesis.

    Thanks, that's a wonderful rabbit hole! When I worked at a video capture card company in the nineties, our competitive advantage was using the raw capture from the same video capture chip that everyone used but bypassing it's deco

    Back in the late eighties there was a IIRC NewTek video toaster for the Commodore Amiga which was a video / genlock system and there was a kind of interactive demo where you try to hit a ball / play goal using the camera. It'

    Well noted, the article is a treasure! They do mention dragging a Donkey Kong with them to Ricoh and that they wanted to surpass everything before and make something that was as capable as their arcade hardware. The scrolling of the 2A03 de

    Yes, that steel pan sound would have been done with the DMC!

    It may not have had a sawtooth but it did have the DMC (sample channel) which although very quirky could create a lot of variety - and used melodically to give you, for instance, a sampled bass - or drums - or an orchestral hit!

    This is a bit of history that has always fascinated me ever since I found out in the nineties while employed at Accolade, where we were reverse engineering the Sega Genesis, that the VDP in the Genesis was a variant / descendent of the

    Premature optimization as a service? Ok that's a bit unfair but it would be reassuring if the examples showed that debugability was a design pillar.

    Unless, you work with a large team of astronauts who ignore the coding guidelines that say to stick with a core subset but leadership doesn't reign them in and eventually you end up with a grotesque tower of babel with untold horrors
