I share the author's enthusiasm about GCM devices. I am also finding that I need to change the over-patch long before the 15-day window because it gets messed up. I've found these [1] quite useful. [1] https://www.amazo

Any idea what that color crt was before it got transplanted?

+1 to this: pico-8 is great. it is so low-res that it is relatively cheap to use it with led panels (e.g. [1]). [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTc3VmBBwMw

Agreed. It was the right tool at the right time.

It wasn't that bad if you put in context of its era: for example, the computer that landed on the moon just 10 or so years earlier, had 4 KiB RAM, 72 KiB ROM and was running at a speed of 40k instructions per second.

We can probably trace a ton of greatly influential programmers back to Sinclair machines (Linus Torvalds used a Sinclair QL for example, I think Demis Hasabis had a Speccy.. maybe), but the original ZX Spectrum 48k stands separate from all

The FPGA used seems to be quite popular in the hobbyist community. If you don't care about the form factor, there exist relatively cheap high-volume ECP5-based boards that have been repurposed to be general FPGA dev boards [1]. [1] ht

This looks like a great project, a fun toy to play with. However, stating that: > I've always wanted a low-cost portable FPGA with video output to make my own CPU, but there isn't any on the market. is definitely not true: one

It would be unfortunate if this article were to discourage folks from trying CGMs out. I am not diabetic but have found a lot of value in using a Stelo CGM sensor. At minimum, it gives me awareness of my current state. I routinely check it

Here's a (Gemini) AI summary that seems to be capturing the main point that the article wants to convey. ``` This page summarizes a study about continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) and how individuals can have highly variable glucose res

The 2068 was also a sub-$200 machine, though it was only released in '83 [1]. [1] https://archive.org/details/byte-magazine-1983-12/page/n281

Funny how the ad compares the C64 only with machines that actually cost more than twice back in '82, and conveniently neglects to compare it with the ZX Spectrum, a clearly better machine, which was released earlier and cost less than

This is simply using LLMs directly. Google has demonstrated that this is not the way to go when it comes to solving math problems. AlphaProof, which used AlphaZero code, got a silver medal in last year's IMO. It also didn't use an

Is a 64GiB RAM Macbook really that expensive, especially compared against NVidia GPUs?

How are Maverick and Scout distilled from Behemoth if the latter is not done training? Do they distill from some intermediate, "good enough" snapshot?

From the page: "Why do this? Through these reads and writes, we can get glimpses into the internal operation of the chip. Now for the 6502 this is a bit unnecessary, as the internal operations of the chip are already well known. But th

On the 10" size, I think few can beat the design of an IBM 701 [1] with its butterfly keyboard. I would be cool if this were to make a comeback: a 10" screen couple with a 12" keyboard. The Sony Vaio P laptops were also cool
