It took some doing (have I mentioned I'm not particularly great at electronics?), but I think I've worked out all the problems with the v2 prototype of the Conway's Life Cell. Biggest mistake: a completely wrong pin out on the buffer IC. Subtlest mistake: a very slightly different wiring of the second status LED from the breadboard version. On to v3, and then hopefully I can start working on the real boards finally.

That's... catchy! I love how much his orange mini is featuring in the music video. Very fond memories of his live performance at @emf in 2022, I hope he does well!

Certo!

Ricordo che il classico augurio a chi fa teatro deriva dall'epoca in cui a teatro si andava in carrozza, e ciò che lesciavano i cavalli sotto al portico davanti al teatro non erano esattamente polveri sottili. E più ce n'era più gente era arrivata.

@jtnystrom Fair enough. You do you.

There are legitimate use cases, such as automated translation -- but IMHO very very few of them.

Look, I haven't even finished reading the article linked above, but it already dropped new phrase of the month "AIslop’s Fables", so I'm all in.

The Death of Curiosity

How nine forces spent sixty years hollowing out the soul of software engineering — and why blaming AI misses the point.

Thanks Liam. Maks' done a great job at eloquently breaking down the symptoms of this illness me and many others have seen in our industry. Now its up to us old farts to share the message and try to bring curiosity back to classrooms and juniors.

The ability to make complex distinctions with high accuracy after ingesting a sufficient amount of training data is a signature feature of machine learning algorithms. But humans also have this ability, even if they are not always consciously aware of it. One of my favorite illustrations of this is the learned ability to determine (qualitatively) the temperature of water from its sound, which almost all of us have acquired purely through training data: youtube.com/watch?v=Ri_4dDvcZe…

We even have the learned ability to accurately predict the next word in a sentence, even when we do not understand the semantic content of the sentence itself. Some (rather frustrated) examples of this occur in the later stages of the classic "Who's on first?" sketch: youtube.com/watch?v=r9t097tbeT…

Thx for sharing both.

I hadn't heard the Abbot-Costello joke; it must have been an inspiration to this classic:

You can smell problems with a car, I lived beside a tram stop and a heliport and I could tell the number of the tram and the model of the helicopter without seeing them. I also knew my workmates by their footsteps except one who was almost completely silent

Also: if you think you have come up with an insight that the experts of the world have missed, you are probably wrong. It's not a guarantee, but it's the way to bet. Test it _hard_.

Dunque, bella gente fediversica e mastodontica, mi ricordo benissimo di aver ricevuto diverse richieste, nel tempo, riguardanti la ricerca storica, ultima delle quali quella di @valhalla relativamente ai passaporti tra le varie "regioni" (semplifico) d'Italia ai tempi dell'unificazione.
Purtroppo, però, non ricordo l'ordine, né l'argomento, né il richiedente 😅

Quindi facciamo così: se avete #CuriositàStoriche scrivetemi qui sotto, così con ordine farò il possibile per rispondervi.

La situazione ragebait sui social di Mæta ormai è fuori controllo. Facendo leva sul fatto che siamo tutti - comprensibilmente - già incazzati, stanno puntando tutto il banco SOLO su quel tipo di interazione.
È impossibile aprire le loro app senza imbattersi in qualcosa di oltraggioso, inaccettabile, disgustoso. Trattenersi dal leggere oltre, o peggio, commentare, è sempre più difficile.

Non cadiamoci. Questa roba è fatta apposta per avvelenarci lo spirito, per farci sentire inermi e frustrati, per farci chiudere ancora di più in noi stessi, con gli occhi fissi nel vuoto luminoso dei loro feed.
Prendiamoci cura di noi, perché per loro siamo solo carne da engagement.

FALSO

La Cassazione ha ammesso la richiesta di referendum da parte del Comitato che a gennaio ha raggiunto le firme necessarie e formulato il nuovo quesito (che si differenzia dal precedente solo perché indica le disposizioni costituzionali).

Ciò avrebbe eventualmente richiesto che si spostasse la data del referendum di due o tre settimane. Invece il Governo ha confermato la data già fissata.

Nessuno voleva boicottare nulla. Queste continue fake news si ritorceranno contro chi ne sta abusando

Today seems like a good day to for the Nth time share the only Bloom County strip I ever clipped out of a newspaper's Sunday comics section. It ran February 26, 1989, and oh, how I wish it didn't still seem so relevant all these years later.

TIL that SSDs can lose data if left unplugged for long periods of time (only required to hold data up to 1 year), unlike HDDs which as long as the material holds it can take years.

Please, I beg, if you're posting about a new release of the cool thing you made, include a small description of what it is and what it does.

It's hard to boost "libencarbulator turbo++ 2.8a release is now available! Now supports configuring reticulation of splines" in a vacuum, and I want nothing more than to boost the cool thing you made

Many worthy causes crowdfunding now, but this one's dear to my heart: collective action by Florentine workers to turn an old car factory into a worker-owned solar panel factory

insorgiamo.org/crowdfunding-20…

The goal is to prevent mass-layoffs since factory was going to shut down, & I've been supporting them through years of amazing teamwork of unions, eco-activists, & Italy's classic anarchist movement

Their pay portal is endearingly glitchy like many grassroots orgs so be patient, it does work!

Haha, and you never need to pay for it.
It has the longest free trial period in computer history, since more then 30 years!
I disagree. WinRAR is proprietary software that is great at making proprietary-format archives that are difficult to decompress using FOSS (unrar-free and 7-zip still stumble on a good portion of the format due to licensing restrictions). OpenAI has made a bigger impact on open research: fast, accurate transcriptions (whisper), RL (gym), and of course LLMs (starting with GPT-2, and of course ChatGPT and the "gpt-oss" models).
