Gemini now remembers you wholesale and makes good analogies and shortcuts knowing youres personal capabilities. You are already hooked and paying starts any day now. Or maybe it starts recommending some marvellous products somewhat related

When you cut the splat in half, result is either fuzzy fog or sort-of fibrous crystals. As depicted here.

What? KIRI Engine makes splats. I always wondered what 3DGS might mean. Yes. I knoweth what "splats" are: They are splats of fuzzy blobs on the display surface.

If you turn one computer display off as in "xrandr --output DVI-D-0 --off", the monitor automatically selects some other computer to display. Thus I have 2 computers and 3 displays, and I can do sentences like "displays 13&qu

We need infinity-Prolog, which already knows all known facts. Feeding them separately everytime feels lame.

Inkscape = Press random buttons until something good happens. In this case the "Good" is that it makes Gcode for lasercutter. Everytime it takes atleast 30 minutes, even when I have recorded instructions. Always some weird thing h

I have I have been using Cinerella for about 30 years. I asked Gemini about it and it told me there would be nothing new or exciting in Kdenlive. Only recently it started to be a worthy competitor.

I bet you can reproduce the look on Cheap Yellow Display for 5€. This also looks like a real thing any further than a foot: https://youtube.com/shorts/JlYUZN7aw20?si=a_DspL_Ct2NLSyaO

These are just echoes of Soviet Era "Cultural Palaces" aka "Folkets Hus" in Socialists-run Sweden. For the "Culture" no one wants to pay their own money for. I visited only once, using the Toilet. Kinda Scary.

Why is "They Were Made Out Of Meat" Hacker News favourite, but "Bordered in Black" is always flagged? Gemini: In short, "They're Made Out of Meat" makes people feel smart and curious, while "Bordered

Achually. If you have L.M.Ericsson 8x8 latching crossbar switch, 64-bit memory needs only 6 relays. Yes SIX. The Fuji relay-computer has lots of those crossbar switches. However. The rope-memory in this scene is read-only-storage containing

You will amazed. One reason is that relays are suitable for multilevel signalling. That is why the relays-only Fuji computer was on par with contemporary Amerikahito crap.

I suggested that after the Final Countdown first computers are made with Rope Memory and Mechanical Relays. But Ken Schirriff said NO -- you need semifast semiconductors to read the memory.

They forgot the ballpoint pen. In 1950 Sweden flowing ink and cursive was the mark of a civilized man. I remember teacher using magnifier to detect cheaters as evil ballpoint technology advanced.

Yes. But 20W panel is panel too. Little worried about Lidl-quality also on larger scale.

Last time I bought a panel from Lidl, it worked only on very sunny day. Very Strange. Inspection revealed it had two 6 Volt 10 Watt panels in parallel and then 12V to 5V USB-converter. When panels were reconnected in series it was quite OK.

What? I mean it made its own version, but it was so full of incomprehensible squiggles that it was useless as a learning tool. I just wanted to see what it would look like. Lesson learned.

Gemini parsed 5000 lines assembly program. And it understood everything. I wanted to change it from 32-bit MSDOS to 64-bit Linux. But it realized that the segmented memory model cannot be implemented in large memory without massive changes

I tried (setq backup-directory-alist '(("." . ".local/share/Trash/files/"))). It would have been fun if backup files were also Thunar Trash. But too many problems. Even Grok, Gemini and Chatgpt w

You only need one bit tag and it is for number. Symbols are just list of numbers. Variable is just a nameless place in memory, but often associated with a symbol. Numbers in symbols are printed out as ASCII-characters when it seems appropri

I suggest installing Sun Dial on youres smartwatch. Especially when daytime is 4 hours, it somewhat aleviates the "eternal darkness" brain fuzz. I try to be awake on those few hours, and do not care about those other dials. There

This was in Gopher first, where you had to click a link to view a picture. Then I heard about Mosaic, where you can have pictures and text on the same page. Some problems emerged, until I learned you use <p> to separate chapters: htt

In my screen there is indeed about thirty icons. When I executed the program on xterm, they were different and when I pasted them on LibreOffice they were again different. And now it seems this shit is also different in every country. The w

Opera AI solved the problem: If you want to use symbols for Mars and Venus for example,they are not in range(0,0x20). They are in Miscellanous Symbols block.

by timonoko 8mo ago
Just asking why they have different icons in different environments? Maybe it is UTF-8 vs ISO-8859?

where does this character set come from? It looks different on xterm. for x in range(0x0,0x20): print(chr(x),end=" ")
