The EGA version was 4 1.44MB disks for MS-DOS, IIRC. Let's say 5MB. That's about 30 disk sides or 15 disks in DD disks. Not that bad actually, and perhaps the C64 images are smaller or more compressible than the EGA ones... So thi

This comparison is a bit misleading, as you are not watching the game full screen, but at 1/4 screen size with video compression artifacts. This helps the EGA dithering tremendously. In reality, dithering can only help you so much, whe

I would just like to point out the fun fact that instead of the brave new MD speak, there is still a `codespeak.json` to configure the build system itself... ...which seems to suggest that the authors themselves don't dogfood their own

So? Iran's involvement in the Ukrainian conflict is mostly business-like, it didn't even send troops (unlike North Korea, for example). I don't see these two conflicts merging to a WW3, if that is what you were implying. Unle

If anything, I think this is actually the other way around - channeling crazy AI bubble money towards SpaceX, after the funding from goverment contracts has dried up. Twitter is just the icing on the cake. Quite ingenious, you have to give

That's all good, don't worry, the stock is doing quite well, near its record high. A man jumping around in spandex is all they need.

Why does it matter if LLMs are not deterministic? Who cares? There should be tests covering meaningful functionality, as long as the code passes the tests, ie. the externally observable behaviour is the same, I don't care. (Especially,
