This thing came apart

@ArthurBoreman @Random832 Can confirm, had a German roommate in college for a year and you should've seen her lose it when we got to the bread aisle at WinCo and there must've been 50-100 different kinds. And that isn't including the bakery.

@Random832 Also because you can find everything from wonderbread to artisanal sourdough in America and variety frightens and confuses many people.

Is every single person have some sort of mental illness about American bread? Here is a “sourdough” loaf, baked and sold AT WALMART. It has ZERO grams of added sugar, less than may French baguettes in France…

@braziltizen22 @uncledoomer Fuck off

@uncledoomer show us the damage... oh, there's none... party balloon...

if that was your drone, i advise you to leave the fucking country, right now. the FAA is about to show up to your front door without any lube

@SychinLegacy @seanhutchison @CameronCorduroy You have lead poisoning

@seanhutchison @CameronCorduroy Maybe some decades ago sure. Now they’re dysfunctional hellscapes of misery and death that export societal collapsing ideologies and crime and only survive because they siphon resources and good will from the productive suburban and rural regions.

hey man quick question, how come every major city is located right on the corners of these districts?

@scotsrule08 @Waymo Okboomer

Found the @Waymo depot in Dallas where they clean and recondition their fleet. How are they charging them? Propane generators. Electric autonomous vehicles charged by propane. 😂

@FFmpeg But what do I do with my Pentium II?

Nice patch from Zuxy removing old MMX(EXT) code and writing a faster sse2 version. Over three times faster than C

@kettukaa @HSVSphere AI is For boomers

@HSVSphere unless "enhernet" is a thing and it's not actually en -> [e]ther[n]et, then this is a bizarre claude typo

If you dislike predictable naming you're a linux larper and should not touch any low level system code ever.

@WilmyHood2 Fake

Sorry, I not paying half the price of my dinner for you to walk it over to my table. Call me an asshole, I am good with it but this is over the top.

@horizontalescal @Emilpo_is_down Fuck AI

@Emilpo_is_down Grok says this is real but it can't be? What if the test doesn't work and private shmuckatelli dies? Everyone keeps their masks on? Why not just keep your masks on regardless?

Hey Private Jones. Come here and sit under this shaded tree. When I tell you to, break the seal of your mask. Take a deep breath. Then clear and reseal your mask.

@falco_girgis 10 PRINT 'Fuck AI' 20 GOTO 10

@ILikeCoffee68 I’d love to know more about said code.

It seems that my favorite person--only account I have ever blocked in all my time on X--is attempting to belittle jnmartin and downplay the significance of his upcoming Sonic R port to the Sega Dreamcast, due to his usage of AI tools to aid in the decompilation process. Not only that, but the Dreamcast community is being accused of being full of “AI slop” in the comments section, with people even asking whether I’m just an AI vibe coder… which is hilarious given how half of the time I’m writing SH4 assembly in a notebook by hand. 🤣   It's true, though, jmnmartin is using Claude to decompile the PC version of Sonic R—something he has never once denied. For this port, there exists no source material, and doing it by hand would take years. AI is the only reason people are about to be playing this banger of a game on their Sega Dreamcasts, and I can only assume that most people will be too busy having a good time on their DC's to really give two shits how the game was decompiled.   Love AI or hate AI, the fact that jnmartin is using it for Sonic R's decompilation does not somehow negate the fact that he's one of the most talented, prolific developers I have ever met, who has worked to bring Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Doom 64, Star Fox 64, Ocarina of TIme, WipeOut, and Sonic Mania to our Sega Dreamcasts, doing all porting of the source C codebases by hand and all for free... and no amount of anti AI hatred somehow negates his talent and skill.   Now... what does this mean about the quality of the upcoming Sonic R decomp from a technical perspective? Shit, I don't personally know, as I'm not really an AI user…but this is an enormous undertaking, and I'm not really sure that there exists any similar endeavor within the community to serve as our basis for comparison. Will the codebase be of the same quality as if it were written by hand? 🤔 Well... We're all about to find out, as we bear witness to this grand spectacle of science and engineering, I guess! But I will say, from my first-hand experience joining in on some of the N64-to-DC ports, that some of the codebases (which I will not call out by name) are still shittily-written, UB-ridden C code, despite being done by hand. 😂

But hey, maybe my BFF, "Cosmic Eternity," here is right, and we should all take this opportunity to be as butthurt as possible that we're about to get this absolute banger of a Sega Saturn and PC game ported to the finest game console that ever existed for free, potentially with online play? No idea... DISCUSS!

@GameSack Ok boomer

Being accused of being ableist for using the word "dumb" in the same context that pretty much every other human on the planet uses it? Only on BlueSky. Just sayin'.

@falco_girgis I'm neither of those. I wrote code earlier this week. Fuck AI.

It’s quite telling that the people who share this sentiment are either glorified modders or people who have never written a line of code in their lives and are just LARPing… meanwhile the actual engineers in the comments couldn’t give less of a shit or at least aren’t so quick to judge.

@Khoibooi @IT_unhinged Ok boomer

@IT_unhinged I can’t wait till Ai replaces your job somehow. 😂

Marketing director submitted a ticket saying her MacBook Pro was "running too hot" and she needed the newest model. I checked the asset lifecycle. It has two years left. I told her no. An hour later, a new ticket: "Accidental coffee spill. Device destroyed." She brought it to my desk, practically skipping. I told her we process accidental damage under the Emergency Continuity Protocol. She asked what that means. I handed her a seven-pound Dell Latitude from 2016. I explained that continuity laptops are issued until the original device's lifecycle expires. In 2026. She stared at the bezel. It's an inch thick. She asked if she could just have her sticky MacBook back. I said no, it's a biohazard. She cried. My SLA remains perfect.

@davepl1968 Rofl that's sad

Color me impressed with ChatGPT this morning! This is the big controller card for my TS11 tape drive. In the days long before CONFIG.SYS, you would manually set the I/O address and IRQ via switchpacks. But they can be a bear to get right, because they're out of order bitwise, sometimes off means 1, and so on. So I gave ChatGPT a picture of the PCB and a copy of the manual and asked it to decode what I already knew - that I had set the card to 172520 and IRQ 224!

@chetan_crasta @lauriewired @grok It's wrong and you don't know it, rofl

@lauriewired @grok That clears it up! Thanks!

In the 90s, Hitachi came up with a bizarre way to conserve memory bandwidth. Their SuperH architecture, intended to compete with ARM, was a 32-bit architecture that used…16 bit instructions. The benefit was really high code density. If you can fit twice as many instructions into every cache line, the CPU pipeline stalls way, way less. This was *really* important for embedded devices, which were often extremely bandwidth constrained in the era. Sega famously used the processors for the Dreamcast, and ARM actually ended up licensing their patents for Thumb mode! I think perhaps the weirdest thing about SuperH was its concept of “upwards compatibility”. The ISA itself is a microcode-less design, all future instructions were trapped and emulated by older chipsets. It’d be slow…but you could run future code on very old chips! Very neat design, a massive success through the 90s and 2000s, that slowly faded.

@leo__oliveira @jormungandrizer @leonkiriliuk Also helps not to fuck with rare hardware if someone doing so has never seen the inside of a given example and/or doesn't have their own example they can use to determine the behavior of when it works. Big fan of #2. It also means I have spare parts if I REALLY fuck up

@jormungandrizer @leonkiriliuk Well, when you are working on rare hardware the stakes are way high. 😅 It pays off to always be careful.

A few years ago I was helping a friend with a "dead as doornail" Teradrive computer. It was so broken it could not boot anything, even MD cartridges. This portion is related to the 286 bus de-multiplexer that handles the BIOS ROM reads. Can you see what is wrong? Is it sabotage?

@Murphwordz @DEADLINE Slop

@DEADLINE Well, just for that, I'm giving her a plum role in the AI short I'm working on. I'm planning to roast everyone in this thing.
