The question is what is reasonable. This is more how I work for code and I just tried for a document. i) Prompt (Human input) ii) Response (LLM) iii) For (i=0;i!=n;++i) { iv) Revie…

Cutting coffee to just the morning definitely helped me. My problem now is that if I think of anything vaguely interesting in the evening then my brain refuses to stop thinking abo…

Really awesome. Though I wish they'd do a dense 48B, 60B or 72B. There seems to be quite a gap between the small ones and the enormous ones these days.

If you put your data in Snowflake then there is a built in AI (ok it’s Claude) that can access the databases. This sidesteps a lot of the issues in that the data is clearly already…

Having used codex a fair bit I find it really struggles with … almost anything. However using the equivalent chat gpt model is fantastic. I guess it’s a matter of focus and being p…

Yes. If you haven’t yet read it Cory Doctorow’s new book Enshittification is well worth a read. I am still reading it but it certainly explains some of the bad practices by these m…

It was a strange decision to limit the drives. I can see they might want to accredit drives which would give a 'Synology Approved Experience', though outright only support their ow…

If you are interested in FPGA PCIe or PCI cards there are also a lot of Gidel boards available second hand. ProcSpark/ProcStar etc. The official software is proprietary and they of…

As a big openscad fan I love the idea of designing circuits with code. I do wonder though about designing circuits vs designing schematics. I see you have ‘wire down 100’ making it…

I've had great results with Codex, though I found ChatGPT 5 was giving much better results than the existing model. So ended up using that directly instead. So very excited to have…

In Switzerland pretty much all sites have a setting for French, German, Italian and often English. It is very much a multi-language country. It is great to be able to select indivi…

If anyone was interested in the Amiga but has not kept up with recent developments, I suggest looking up the Vampire V4. It is mentioned in the article but I thought I'd add a few …

Ouch, if that is the case this is only going to boost the non US suppliers. Has anyone tried lcsc.com? Digikey and mouser are great but if all semiconductors go up 50% that is a pr…

Thom did great work on the Plato stuff. Also be sure to check out his Fujinet work, really nicely done. Ported to many platforms too.

Also read it backwards

It is not just Apple that did this, for example here is an equivalent from Atari: https://www.exxosforum.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=1698

Interesting. Reminds me of FlexFS ( https://flexfs.io/ ). I spoke to a very knowledgeable person there when investigating what to use but we ended up using EFS instead. An annoying…

Is it possible to use this to make songs for multiple chips at once? In the pokeymax and sidmax projects I have dual pokey, dual sid, dual ym2149 and a simple dma sample engine ava…

There are a few improvements that could still be useful: i) FPGA on a newer process so it can clock higher. For faster 68k in the Amiga core and pentium 1 equivalent speeds in the …

To do a fab build out and restructuring of this scale clearly they need to spend a lot of money. In that context the numbers from the financial report do not seem that shocking. Th…

The tricky thing here is that as this mostly affects unlocked CPUs it is going to be hard to prove when the fault is from this algorithm vs user/motherboard manufacturer overlockin…

Why do you discount Gaudi 3? It looks like a very strong offering.

These are still available: https://centuriontech.eu/product/ct63-rev-2022/ There are also expansions for the expansion! People also use the CTPCI to run the desktop on a Radeon 750…

Doom was ported to the vanilla falcon making heavy use of the dsp: https://www.leonik.net/dml/sec_bm.py
