It would be nice to see the development, and individual unit cost, and price.

The hierarchy capability of Statecharts sounds amazing. A couple of questions: 1. My intended use case is a robot with code written in C/C++. Should I use the translator the search engines suggest? Or?

2. I did come across Tinyfsm (https://digint.ch/tinyfsm/). Any thoughts on that?

I keep thinking that instead of spending approximately $1B a day attacking Iran - killing, maiming, hurting people, poisoning the ground, damaging infrastructure, creating a future humanitarian criteria, what if, everyday, we dropped a $1B in cash in $50 bundles?

Would we have a better outcome?

Can you share verifiable data?

I read something today that makes a lot of sense:

Your driver's license has your height, weight, etc. that is current. You certainly wouldn't want your birth weight, birth height on there. It is used to identify you, as you are today.

If you are searching for a person, you would want to use their current description.

I wonder if we'll still be running x86 code a hundred years after it came out (according to Wikipedia, it came out in 1978). We are already 48 years in.

Great experiment!

Let's say you have 15 programs installed. You use programs 1-5 multiple times a day, 6-10 every few days, 11-15 every couple of weeks.

The AI makes a change. It rebuild the image. Things are working.

A few days later, you go to use one the 10-15 programs that haven't been used for a week or two and it doesn't work. The change could have been that day or a couple of weeks ago. How do you remedy that? Thanks in advance for your insights.

Condolences to you, and your family. Hugs.

Very cruel, and wrong to go after a vulnerable population. Sexual identity isn't anyone else's business.

From the article;

“Following a comprehensive review, we determined the planned Flock Safety integration would require significantly more time and resources than anticipated,” Ring’s statement said

Given the timeline of the change, Amazon was capable of doing the review very quickly.

Why didn't they do the review before launching, and perhaps even working on the feature? What new data did they receive that resulted in this change in their posture?

WA has the 49th most regressive tax system in the nation. It was the most regressive until two years ago.

It is unhealthy to keep taxing the poor at disproportionate rate which, IMO, is a hidden form of slavery.

The HPM sounds a lot like the Xbox GPU's SRAM.

The Microsoft response is very disingenuous because if they knew about the situation and let it get to the current situation, then it means they really didn't care. If they didn't know then, they are clueless.

I think the reality is that they are super confused, don't have a vision, and therefore, no strategy. They are just like a marble bouncing in a pachinko machine.

For example, look at the churn on the UI framework - I think they have gone through three or more frameworks in the last few years.

The constant updates are just huge. I don't think on Linux they use anti-virus software. I'm sure it is nice not losing perf to the AV. I think the windows file system throughput for small files is horrid compared to Linux.

Dunning-Kruger effect?

This only works when people are tolerant.

An excellent interview with the creator of Action! - Clinton Parker.

I'm all on again, of again runner.

I was in the on phase, and we decided to get a puppy. She lives to sniff, run, and explore. So, looking forward to a long streak!

If you are doing requests, I'd love to see the M68k series analyzed.

I know nothing about sailing. I've been on a few sailboats. I love the idea of wind power - probably why I like flying remote control sailplanes.

I would love to volunteer on someone's race/sail boat to get some experience. I'm happy to take the ASA introductory course or ? course.

Any advice on how to move forward? I'm in the Seattle area.

@henrikf - can you share where you got the CNC done? Thanks.

Awesome story. Which year did you create the micromouse?

Any change you have pictures of it?

One of my favorite things is in the watch world, every mechanism besides showing time is called complication. When one talks about a feature, or an item as a complication, just the act of doing that forces one to be more deliberate.

Vscode had been wildly, and widely successful for Microsoft.

I think that's the direction Office is going. I think that model will be used on other applications...

Personally, I keep thinking of switching to Linux because the performance (compile) is higher, and so much code is easier to build and use.

I would be beyond thrilled if Microsoft would allow users to uninstall/decrapify Windows. The hypocrisy of - the browser is part of the OS and cannot be uninstalled and then it was when edge was released is insulting to users.

You have an awesome memory, Dinarte!

Eric Mejdric from IBM called on Friday and said we have the chips, when are you guys getting here?

I took a red eye that night and got to Austin on Saturday morning.

We brought up the board, the IBM debugger, and then got stuck.

I remember calling you on Sunday morning. You had just got a big screen TV for the Super bowl and had people over and in-between hosting them you dropped us new bits to make progress.

I think Tracy came on Sunday or Monday and with you got the Kernel booted.

Good times!

This is Harjit by the way.

Edit: added super bowl.

You should also talk about the lwarx/stecx bug. IIRC - in the first version of the chip there was a bug in one or both of these instructions. Your code booted on SBox but didn't on the hardware. You compared the two and then figured out it was these instructions.

You filed a bug report and then dug into them and used SBox to figure out what must have been going wrong.

The chip supplier came back with a workaround and within five minutes you simulated it on SBox and said it wouldn't work, why, and then said how it should be fixed.

The supplier didn't believe you as yet. And you worked out a workaround so we could be unblocked. Two weeks later they agreed with your fix...

I find making bodies is 'easy'.

What trips me up is aligning bodies, and joints.

Is this something covered well by your tool?

I'm considering signing up for the wait list. How long do you expect it to take for someone to clear the wait list?

This reminds me of the Atari 8 bit computers making sound when data was being transferred to the floppy drive and the cassette.

The TRS-80 flashed an asterisk in the upper right corner of the display.

I wish this was an option with modern computers if nothing else, for old times sake.

An item the analysis didn't include is using Starlink signals for location, posture, and rotation. I have no idea if they do...

Love the analysis.

Nice!

I'd like to generate a Chebyshev approximation for a set of X, Y sensor values. Any hints on how to modify your code to do that?

I'm a very long time Windows user and am very very frustrated with Microsoft's shenanigans in the last few releases of Windows.

I'm contemplating trying Linux but: 1. I don't know which distribution to start with. 2. I'm not thrilled about having to learn how to use Linux because I'd prefer to spend my time using the computer. 3. Fear, uncertainty, doubt alert: I've read about problems with power management or GPU drivers or audio or ... and I'm concerned about the time sink of going down the path of trying Linux and then having to go back to Windows.

So, I resort to using Windows but then doing registry hacks to disable or change things I don't like.

What would lower the bar enough for me to try Linux would be to use a performant Virtual box or similar VM, get it running well enough to know that Linux will work for me and then reuse or recreate that as the native/host OS. I don't want to use WSL because I don't want to get stuck in yet another Microsoft 'thing' with it's considerations.
