   At some point, some people will just publish open source single-shot LLM prompts that define a clean-room spec for every over-priced product. Why not make an open source alternative to the product? Because everyone's needs are just a l

   I'm at the point where if there's a computer display, or 3D model, or any asset in a movie, I want there to be a Kickstarter to pay the producers to open source the original assets. Even if it's a super restrictive license.

   For some reason, I want to see this cartridge stuffed into one of those FPGA-based NES emulators (one that takes cartridges.)

    I have a normal PC... I'd love some kind of external tape drive that I can connect with USB-C, or USB-3... But everything is SAS? And no way to convert SAS to SATA? Recommendations?

    It'll be nice to see how quickly I burn through this free money with auto-reload off. Unless they somehow say, "You owe us $181,902, bucko! Turning off auto-reload just meant 'Don't add more money to pay off your debt!&

    The World Factbook wasn't prone to hallucinations, intentional omissions, the whims of billionaires, or the unstated goals of astroturfing groups. If the government has somewhere to tell you what it thinks is true, you can use that to

    I made an Actually Portable Executable web server out of this. You download one file, and it can run on many different systems. https://github.com/MattCruikshank/emu_ape I'm trying to set it up so you can add rom

    I've got it working. Used Mongoose. Unfortunately Actually Portable Executables seem to not play well with WSL, and the suggested fixes didn't work. I'm able to play with it in a VM. Not as portable as I'd hoped, but

    I desperately want to write C/C++ code that has a web server and can talk websockets, and that I can compile with Cosmopolitan. I don't want Lua. Using Lua is crazy clever, but it's not what I want. I should just vibe code t

    If I'm not mistaken, there was not supposed to be a standing army. If you have a standing army, that creates a whole rats nest of problems. And ps, I've talked to people who think we shouldn't have a standing army, and I fran

    I'd like to start with something that works, and then make it affordable. Rather than start with something free, that demonstrably doesn't work where it needs to.

    Please, sell me a USB-C device that gives me mesh networking on my phone. I'd like a Small, Medium, and Large option. Ideally, each would have a passthrough charger, so I can charge my phone even with the device plugged in to my phone

    Does it help get repeatable results if you say, "Use a random seed of 42 for this task"? Or if you somehow lower the temperature, so it's more deterministic?

    I've daydreamed the same thing. I can picture my family of four getting on our PJs and hopping in a sleeper car on Friday night. We tell the car if we need to stop for a restroom, or anything else... And we wake up on Saturday morning

    I think you're very close to being right... But I think "Fuck you money" implies, "I honestly don't have to worry about money, ever again." Now, we all have different definitions for that, but the kind of thing
