> Maybe I should look into training an AI in the audio style of Patrick O’Brian and have it read Shakespeare for me. That's what you took away from that?!

I went down a rabbit hole a few summers ago and I ended up writing a calculator from scratch in assembly for RISC OS. Interesting experience having GUI routines at the syscall leve…

On the flip side, .hpp always makes me chuckle. What is that, Header++?

I've never really been a math person, either, which is why I thought I was going to hate discrete math in college. I mean, it wasn't always the easiest thing ever, but it was a lot…

And the SD card logo was originally intended for Super Density Disc

I was one of these hapless Comic Chat users. Luckily someone gently nudged me toward a real IRC client lol. I was an absolute IRC fiend for years after that.

That's odd, it always worked fine for me. I have had that issue with archive.today, though.

I'm confused. Aren't these supposed to be photos, or are we expected to be agog with 3D renderings?

Loads for me, but not particularly quickly

That makes sense. The part where my program really benefits is in a bottleneck area that you always have to go through and where you visit every code path in it.

It's .NET 10 lol. It's not so slow you can't write stuff for it, I have implementations of Conway's game of life, Huffman compression, and a minimal TUI. The main problem is doing …

That's so cool! I love F#, but I wrote a little Smalltalk interpreter in it and I can confirm it isn't exactly a speed demon for that kind of thing if you use it as intended lol

Actually they do have one, but it's an older beta format that isn't supported anymore.

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.

That was what I guessed too, but according to the article Intel detected both.

Thank you for injecting some perspective into the thread of AI hysteria. I feel like everyone is imagining a bug in a CRUD app.

This is pre-virtualization, so it's not the cloud either

At least we hardly ever have to hear anyone say "cyberspace" anymore

This might be controversial, but smelling either in public makes me happy! Now the stale smell of tobacco-infused clothing, that is awful.

If I remember correctly, it even came with a utility to remove line numbers for you

It doesn't take an AI to demand graph go up

Oh I've actually been meaning to get around to reading that first one. I'll have to crack that open.

Egyptian had it, and although it's Afroasiatic it's not Semitic, so it must have gone back further than that.
