I also thought about using #chatgpt to #control a #robot https://mosfet.net/microsoft-explores-ch.. It wouldn't be proper #intelligence , but certainly might give the appearance of it! Imagine a fully #autonomous #robot running this, playing some kind of #text #adventure #game !
Really cool #article on writing #avx #accelerated #code https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/874.. Screw writing #libraries manually to support this though, it would take an insane amount of effort. I'm very happy to let somebody else write #optimisation functions for this stuff.
Interesting idea to have a whole #forum written in #assembly #language https://asmbb.org/ The #source #code can be found here: https://asm32.info/fossil/asmbb/index The #code is really quite something!
The use of a #pcb to create a 7 #segment #display is pretty cool: https://hackaday.com/2023/03/03/pcb-make.. Maybe could look to do this for the #robots !
Interesting #perspective from #car #manufacturers using #clay to #model their #cars https://hackaday.com/2023/03/03/will-car.. Honestly speaking I think we could do a better job with #software #modelling , or even just hammering out panels to suite. The #irony is that really not much original #design happens anyway.
The shear #skill and #knowledge that went into this #youtube #video is insane: https://youtube.com/watch?v=I0UMG3iVYZI Turns out that #nvidia fucked another piece of #hardware up again, this time the #playstation 3. They just keep doing this...
Great, the #book #publisher #puffin have #censored #ebooks #purchased before their new #censorship of #roalddahl https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/roald.. Wait till they hear about the #bible or the #quran - can't wait to see their new ideas on it.
Would you look at that, the #ohio #train #derailment likely had origins in skipped #inspections due to #corporate #greed https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023.. Some people suggest this is an issue of #captilisim , but this is actually an issue of #regulation and #enforcement .
Interesting, it appears that #apple #airpods might be causing #tinnitus https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250.. I wonder if it is somehow related to their #noisecancellation ? I have #bluetooth #headphones with this feature but switch it on rarely.
Just finishing #watching #netflix 's 2017 #deathnote , and it really doesn't do the #original #anime any #justice at all. The #original #anime was like a game of #chess being played out by #kira and L, but they completely #fail to capture this. It really should have been a #tv #series . It's really amazing that they messed up such a deep and interesting #ip .
Wow, the #serial checking of #microsoft #windows 95 was super simple: https://youtube.com/watch?v=cwyH59nACzQ Even without the assumption of the internet, back then you could have easily implemented some custom key based on a #serial #number baked into the #disk ... They were just super lazy, maybe a rushed product launch or something.
Very cool #debian #linux " #factory ", where you can #build #custom #linux #distributions with some simple #script https://gitlab.com/risserlabs/community/.. This is something that really tickles me, but unfortunately I know I will never get time for such a task.
Seeing this I am now #tempted to #manufacture the #cpu we work on #internally https://www.righto.com/2023/02/8086-modr.. I would need to work out how many #components would be required... Maybe it brings no benefit to what we do?
I think #verticalfarming has a place, they were just doing it wrong: https://www.fastcompany.com/90824702/ver.. Use #lightpipes for lighting only aided with #ultraviolet , get rid of the #warehouse and just have a #concrete base, with #natural #wind #cooling . Keep #labour #overhead low and only bother #growing #profitable #crop . #robotics and #tech should be avoided unless they are *required* - not just a way to get more #funding .
Just finished the second #season of #clarksonsfarm - my god it's good. Probably some of the best of #british #tv ever made. I don't know how anybody external to the #uk would view it, but it really is a very #countryside #british view of the world.
Very cool, #valve #banned 40k #players using #hacked #clients by #honeytrapping their #clients running unused #code https://www.theverge.com/2023/2/23/23611.. Would be great to see this method used more often!
