grzeshru··on Apple introduces M4 chip
I didn’t know what to expect. I thought they may license it to other companies under particular clauses or some such.
grzeshru··on Apple introduces M4 chip
Darn it. Oh well.
grzeshru··on Apple introduces M4 chip
Are these M-class chips available to be purchased on Digi-Key and Mouser? Do they have data sheets and recommended circuitry? I’d love to play with one just to see how difficult it is to integrate compared to, say, an stm8/32 or something.
grzeshru··on Dune 3D 1.1.0 Released
Frank Klepacki on soundtrack?
grzeshru··on US drug control agency will move to reclassify marijuana
Has society ever been safe, productive or prosperous? I’d argue it hasn’t. I think smaller collectives have managed to eek out a bit of solace but society as a whole has always been at each other’s throats. Our notion of productivity is mostly moved forward by one hand not seeing the other.
grzeshru··on Response to Scott Alexander on Medical Effectiveness
Is Scott Alexander qualified in this subject?
grzeshru··on Senate passes TikTok ban bill, sending it to President Biden's desk
I think this just validates China’s social, cultural, and digital hegemony.

Banning (if you can call it that? Divesting?) a single product like this is a strange move. It’s using a shovel to clear the early crumbs of an avalanche.

I don’t think this is the right move. Yes, it threatens the monopolies that companies like Facebook have established. And let’s assume that Haidt is right and social media and the surrounding ecosystem is a cesspool of negativity being lunged at the youth. I still think that it’s in a way petulant and reactive to pass a bill for this. A foreign country is not responsible for our leaders having failed to nurture us into sensible adults who do not fall prey to these dark patterns and tactics. I will refrain from the angle that our leaders intentionally did not want us to be critical, independent thinkers to further their own agendas by treating us like lepers.

grzeshru··on I should have loved biology (2020)
I sympathize with the author even if my gripe is different. I’m surrounded by people who read pop science and regurgitate things they have no clue nor conception of. It’s very difficult to have an honest discussion and to ask “what if?” and say “interesting, I don’t know” with people who read books and think they have it figured out because so—and-so said so.

I should have loved curiosity, but what I’ve found are people looking to justify existing thinking.

Can we get a StarCraft or Warcraft 3 leak?
grzeshru··on The Making of Dune II
Looks like androidarts illustrations.
grzeshru··on Descent 3 Source Code
> "invert Y axis"

Sidewinder Pro reporting in. Is there any other way?

grzeshru··on A primer on x86 by Casey Muratori and The Primeagen [video]
The video title is “x86 needs to die” so the HN re-word is highly editorialized.
grzeshru··on Getting into way too much detail with the Z80 netlist simulation (2021)
Question for the author: throwing this out there, do you know if anyone has written a Rabbit RCM2000 emulator by any chance?
grzeshru··on A science fiction obsession led me to psychological war
> "The artistic and cultural aspect of writing is readily converted to propaganda usage," Linebarger wrote in the book's new conclusion.

And how!

grzeshru··on Why does part of the Windows 98 Setup program look older than the rest? (2020)
New Old Thing goes in-depth about the windows under windows.
grzeshru··on It's not what the world needs right now
That’s not particularly affluent.
grzeshru··on It's not what the world needs right now
What makes it seem like, from this piece anyway, that he is from an affluent family? (I don’t know the author/artist whatsoever.) Describe to me the phone call you think ought to take place.
grzeshru··on It's not what the world needs right now
I don’t even understand what there is to dislike. This person lives in misery
grzeshru··on Comparing Desoldering Tools
You should do a video on this. I can’t do wicking worth shit.
grzeshru··on Lago, Open-Source Stripe Alternative, banks $22M in funding
Memes existed in technical docs for as long as technical people and docs existed.
grzeshru··on Xbox has a new team dedicated to game preservation and forward compatibility
Bought an xbone recently for a few titles, all my old Xbox games work. Nothing more to add.
grzeshru··on Roblox Studio boss: children making money on the platform isn't exploitation
Gone are the days of simple, naive SC1/BW and War3 UMS mapping.
grzeshru··on YC's Winter 2024 Demo Day confirms that we are indeed in an AI bubble
As pg says, it’s the people not the product that matters.
grzeshru··on Is social media behind an epidemic of teenage mental illness?
For anyone who reads the comments before TFA: yes, it’s just more Haidt.
grzeshru··on Tiny orchid flowers pollinated by tiny flies
The older I get the less magic and more alien things appear. We live on an alien planet. This place is a bloody zoo.
grzeshru··on Daylight Saving Time is a perfect test for UI designer
My car has a button explicitly for DST on/off in the clock menu. It’s braindead dumb, has no concept of DST and all it does is +/- 1 the hour. I’ve yet to come across a more elegant solution save for an OS that is network aware doing it, but that comes with its own troubles.
grzeshru··on IrfanView
IrfanView shouldn’t be seen as a relic just because it’s “old”. Software like IV, Opus/Far just highlight how inadequate the OS provided tools for common navigation/viewing patterns are. Anyone who breaks through the “the computer is a magical box and I don’t understand any of it” barrier needs to have a manual tossed at them that covers this software right away. Nevermind gdb/WinDbg.
grzeshru··on Marissa Mayer's Startup
You love it that they socially signaled to you their awareness of the old “AI is everywhere but it’s integrated so well you can’t see it” phrase? Thats basically how these names are conjured up.
grzeshru··on Wayland breaks your bad software
It’s like Linux audio drivers, but for graphics compositors.
