    I also collect old Flash buttons from my archived version of flashkit: https://flashkitty.gzalo.com/Interfaces/Buttons/

    Nvidia already did something similar with Lite Hash Rate (LHR), limiting performance on purpose just when running mining apps...

    I know, but part of the logic from below the line I linked could have been deterministic, it could benefit from a single "load skill" tool that just loads the files client side!

    Yes you can, see https://neslcdmod.com/ It basically mods the rom to allow for a bit more latency when checking the hit targets

    Wow, this part where they describe skills sounds quite odd https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/99f47d6e9a3546c14c43af9... Why wouldnt they just expose the files directly? Having t…

    I designed and built a physical replica of a 1970s-style front panel microcomputer with 25+ toggle switches, 16 LEDs, and an LCD display. The brain is a Raspberry Pi Pico running a…

    The bad part is that it cannot create a world wide mesh, as has a low max hop limit (7), and the nodes need lines of sight. So more than 200 km in a mostly flat city is almost impo…

    Something like https://github.com/huggingface/smolagents Needs a sandbox, otherwise blindly executing generated code is not acceptable

    Hmm, it's a clever hack, but they would use an oscilloscope with an "External trigger" input, like most of the older Rigols. That would let you use the full sample rate without nee…

    I agree, this can also detect brittle tests (e.g, test methods/classes that only pass if executed in a particular order). But applying it for all data could be expensive computatio…

    Indeed, if you search for "ceramic antennas" you'll see that they are already being used and smaller than equivalent PCB antennas. They rely on a dielectric material with high e_r,…

    Not really. The username from the commits is the same one that created the PR. The username evildojo666 was available and the attacker just used it.

    Yes, in the games category you can find some. But for playing the classic fully fledged games I suggest something like https://flashpointarchive.org/ , which is more organized

    I wonder if it's feasible to make diy Thermal paper using lemon juice, like the old "invisible ink experiment"

    Interesting idea, but keep in mind that older laser-based barcode readers don't work when reading from an LCD screen

    Fair enough, if it supports being charged using any port that is reasonable. I would assume that the notebook has some other internal 5v regulator, maybe for the embedded controlle…

    I don't get the point of designing and building a 3.3 to 5v booster instead of just wiring a cable to one of the existing USB C vbus 5v pins? Am I missing something?
