My old PC wasn't good enough to play the game. You could almost see each frame render. However, the PC speaker music was really nice and I used to run the game just to listen to that.

This is an interesting area. I've felt that with AI, it would be nice to have a project that I work on "by hand" so that my general skills don't atrophy and I've been writing an implementation of the Kyra engine use

This is something I use on Android that has similiar functionality. It's helped me a lot and, along with a monochrome screen, is quite effective in reducing doomscrolling. https://play.google.com/store/apps/de

I was going to ask about this. Is there any documentation official or otherwise about how to take ones car offline?

Looks like the gamer in 48 year old me is still 12 years old. I loved the vibe.

I had a book which was published by Usborne which was part of their "Monsters" series. It was the Monsters teaching BASIC. There were several program listings and a "porting guide" which told you how to convert from APPL

I gave a talk about this when I worked for The Archive. There was an article in Scientific American about how the average lifetime of a page on the net before it 404s is about 100 days. That article is offline now and we accessed it through

It's nice to have analog/real world hobbies to reset. My kids and I have picked up whittling. A few blocks of wood, a sharp knife, some sheets of sandpaper and time just slows down. Many others too. It's nice to be completely

I think there are generational aspects to this. The older generation (gen-x) and before has been trained to believe traditional media (and by extension, anything that is published on a "website" and/or forwarded on Whatsapp).

That's a nice quote. I remember seeing an animated documentary as a child called "Donald in Mathmagic Land" which ends with a quote attributed to Galileo. > Mathematics is the language with which God has written the univer

If you do lettering by hand, S has a bit of reputation. It's hard to get right. Small mistakes stand out even to an untrained eye. However, once you do get it (subjectively) right, it's an extremely beautiful letter. This is even

Thank you. I wasn't aware of this way of doing things.

I don't think that's the parents implication. Generally, when a "good" developer has a huge public presence and reputation, that's quite valuable to a company when they're competing in a tough space. Many a tim

I've been a TP user since 2004ish. Almost exclusively. I had to use a mac for 2 years for a job in between but other than that, T series, Two X series machines (Which were my favourite) and finally, now an X1 carbon. The last one is th

I couldn't agree with you more. I practice calligraphy as a hobby and took on an online course[1]. This was specifically for the Trajan hand (which is a favourite of mine but which I still can't do very well). The first exercise w

Using terms from domain metaphorically in another is a common and, I think, useful way of communication. While a view like yours has genuine merit, especially for a subset of the population who have experience personal or otherwise, with th

My point was that equating beating/spanking to violence on children (which is sometimes is) is over generalizing. I think the scenario I mentioned exhibits the argument. If not, I'd be interested in hearing why you think not.

Not wholly. If you have a strong positive relationship with your children, an unambiguous show of displeasure can be a very strong corrective force. A gentle slap on on wrist is a one to show this and it's not damaging especially if fo

I used a similar metric when judging programming languages. The language can get huge but if it's conceptually small, one can learn it and then leave the rest to compounding due to experience. Conceptually large languages had a barrier

The slight groove that was there on the middle of the base which allowed you to stick your finger to open the top had sharp corners that poked my wrists and i filed them both off on the first, and only, macbook I used in 2014 or so m

It's a lot easier to detect when you mostly interact with non English speakers. I asked an LLM to rewrite this to make it nicer and got the following. I'd flag the first because I don't usually hear "majority of your int

I wasn't around in the 60s but I had a chemistry set from Salter Science in the 80s and loved it. They had details on how to make simple glassware and so many other things. I didn't have carbon rods for the electrochemistry sectio

I had a situation where we need to implement a protocol. The spec was fairly decent but the public implementations of the other end were slightly non compliant which necessitated special casing. Plus multiple versions etc. An expensive cons

No problem. I didn't take the original comment too seriously either. Just a passing chuckle at some wordplay. TBH, I haven't heard the complaints about the use of "oil" in that context.

I agree. I make adjustments depending on which parts of the page I'm on and what I'm writing. This is a nice project but I'm not sure id want to use it for anything.

I believe that this is already done to several models. One that I've come across are the JOSIEfied models from Gökdeniz Gülmez. I downloaded one or two and tried them on a local ollama setup. It does generate potentially dangerous outp
