    It's kind of a shame to destroy original machines for chips isn't it? Especially when clone manufacturers have been putting out NOAC clones for decades.

    Heh, tried it and got a story about raiding trash starring Pip. But yep, I'm well aware of this problem as well. /r/sillytavernAI is a sub dedicated to trying to coax LLMs into goo…

    I was exaggerating a bit, but afaik none of the ingredients in that list are any kind of mysterious harmful ingredient specific to energy drinks. That's all pretty normal soft drin…

    I really don't know why people go so nuts over energy drinks. People casually chug coffee like crazy and then act like you're drinking nuclear waste when you drink a monster, and t…

    Haha, awesome. And I like all the wacky Mario Land 2 references :)

    Did you use the built in GB studio sound engine? If so that's my code :) Always enjoyable when it pops up in places like this. Looks like a fun project.

    The best selling game of all time (Minecraft) is basically GL 1.1. You really don't need much.

    Are you getting any customers?

    You can compile in only the used stuff with various build flags, not sure if they did that though. I've done that before to make a pared down SDL that only does audio playback.

    It was "I need you to sit with:" that immediately made me close the article. I like LLM programming, but I really don't understand why so many people just post LLM-generated articl…

    I think Ginger Bill is kind of obnoxious but the first block quote from him is an utter truth nuke.

    And people called Stallman alarmist. Truth is, if you give them an inch they take a mile every time, so a hardline stance is strictly required.

    Not to criticize your work too harshly, but you specifically call out that this showcases attention to detail, and it's actually very inaccurate to the actual Windows XP, for anyon…

    Fwiw this post seems to have gotten nuked off the front page (and all subsequent pages). Not sure why.

    He uses SVN and specifically has stated that Git isn't suitable for the work he does due to big binaries in source control.

    This one does. You can configure the noise injected into the signal and when it gets too much, it loses sync and the picture starts rolling. It's actually a software NTSC modulator…

    I see you ran into Markus Triska. He's indeed a legend and his StackOverflow posts were super high effort and illuminating.

    He's clearly doing a bit where he pretends to be confused and incompetent, and the punchline of the video is that he ends up with a working Windows CE port. He did a bit of solderi…

    As the other commenter said, I don't think contributing it would be that useful, since QBE is a rather zen-garden project and I don't think the author would accept slop. Also he co…

    The backend is only ~1300 lines. QBE is a super simple project which is why adding a backend to it worked so well. I just pointed Claude at the existing RISC-V backend for referenc…

    Cool project, and FWIW it's like one Claude prompt to add MIPS support to this. I did that and then was able to compile my little custom language to the N64.
