It's actually fairly easy and interesting to design your own z80 computer. I went from knowing about assembly and pcb design to a z80 computer with a serial interface and memory banking. Learnt a lot on the way an went on to build pcbs

My father lived in a different part of the country and copied the game for me. He spent I've no idea how long at the photocopier copying that manual for me. I loved that game, mainly because the manual had absorbed his cigar smoke and

I can browse to jellyfin on my phone, ipad, laptop, TV etc watch any format (since it will transcode on the fly) and watch whatever I was watching from wherever I left it. It will also obviously know where I'm up to in any series so if

Gosh I hate most of these and I feel like most of them don't actually benefit the user. Zeigarnik Effect for example, the forced need to get 100% completion which definitely does not benefit the user.

An a4000..wow my dream machine. I have an ACA1221lc[0] in there. A firm believer in real hardware. I really want an easy way of swapping out the cf card so I can make my fuzix port bootable and easily reflash the card. For the moment I have

I've been slowly working on getting fuzix working on my amiga 1200. It boots the kernel I just don't have a file system for it yet. Though my 1200 has ~10MB RAM.

Ah the radio station has an api. I was thinking you were doing song matching or something, nope much simpler than that!

I seem to spend half my life logging into thing's, confirming 2fa,confirming biometric data. Then when I go back to the first thing it's timed out and I have to sign in again.

Very interesting! How does it work?

I started something similar but for Sydney with the ultimate goal of being an agent simulator, simulating everyone going to work etc. Project got a bit unwieldy and is on hold while I mull it's future over.

Quarries were great but I hated the big hole it left in the ground.

That has nothing to do with using AI, if the dev didn't check their work then that is being a bad dev.
14.
by roygbiv2 4mo ago
Lazy or efficient? A dev could spend an hour on something or 10 mins, if the outcome is the same what's does it matter?

The tears of sysadmins are fairly cheap though.

by roygbiv2 5mo ago
And how much does the hardware cost to run said models?
17.
by roygbiv2 5mo ago
Because cursor gives you access to tons of different models, not just the Claude models.

Well fuck that then

There are still BBS you can access via telnet (and actual dial up if you really want), after the fifth one asks you for your full name, street address and phone Humber it gets a little old.

I used cursor with a mix of Gemini 3.1 and opus 4.6. It referenced the Amiga ROM Kernel Reference Manual, appendix C to create a boot block in assembly. It's a raw sector-mapped image, the build process creates a blank adf, which then

There's definitely been success in using generative AI for vintage Computers. Just the other day I got it to produce a bootable floppy for my Amiga 1200. It loads the network driver, uses BOOTP to get an ip address, connects to a serve

I've never had great luck getting iodine running anywhere. The one and only success I've had was on an aircraft where, after numerous attempts at different things, the best I could do is connect to an SMTP server and send an email

Yeah I use a markdown to put progress in. It gets kinda long and convoluted a manual intervention is required every so often. Works though.

by roygbiv2 6mo ago
I've found compactation kills the whole thing. Important debug steps completely missing and the AI loops back round thinking it's found a solution when we've already done that step.

Falcon 4.0 BMS is probably the best F16 simulator out there right now and it's 'free'

> Similar to how modern railroad track widths can be traced back to the wheel widths of roman chariots This is repeated often and simply isn't true.

by roygbiv2 9mo ago
Awesome. I've just designed and built my own z80 computer, though right now it has 32kb ROM and 32kb RAM. This will definitely change on the next revision so I'll be sure to try it out.

Yeah but just liked an overclocked gpu, there's errors on those boards so you have to throw them away and wait for the for the next revision.
