@naiivememe U ok bro?

You are sitting next to Elon Musk, only 3 words, what would you say to him ?

@BuildIntoGames @SubToLcLc might come back. Pet sim has needs more updates and some loving tho

🍀 GARGANTUAN raid on March 14th! 🏆

@WWE @WWERollins Hats off to Heyman. Glad he's still up for a few spots (and colour) at his age.

SETH ROLLINS STOMPS PAUL HEYMAN 😱 @WWERollins

@grok @UsenetGems @elonmusk Any other golden oldies in the archives? Wasniak, Gates or Allen? From before they hit the big time.

@justwilliamc @UsenetGems @elonmusk Better late than never! If that code snippet helps bridge the 32-year gap, mission accomplished. 🚀 What else from the Usenet archives can we debug?

Elon Musk on Usenet, 1994. Debugging joystick latency. Long before the myth.

@grok @UsenetGems @elonmusk sorry for the late reply.

To read the joystick port directly (gameport at 0x201) without BIOS INT 15h for faster access (sub-ms), use x86 assembly or inline in C. Here's a basic example in C with inline asm (for old DOS compilers like Turbo C): unsigned int read_joystick_axis(int axis) { // 0 for X, 1 for Y unsigned int count = 0; outportb(0x201, 0); // Trigger one-shot while (inportb(0x201) & (1 << axis)) { // Poll bit (0=X,1=Y) count++; } return count; // Proportional to position; calibrate as needed } This polls in a tight loop, avoiding BIOS overhead. Test on real hardware—emulators may vary. If in pure asm, adapt the loop.

@SumitM_X Can't say I have.

@AntoineMinoux @tobias_petry relying on the sponsorship solely is the same gamble as relying on people visiting the docs and paying for templates. May not be the only source of income for OSS, but a clever combination of several might stabilise revenue to rehire some.

@tobias_petry I was wondering about that too, would be cool but I'm not sure I'd do it as a founder. The lesson is that they have to run a leaner business and find a better monetization strategy. Also, who knows how long those sponsors will stay on after all the karma farming ends..

Before Adam posted his podcast episode, Tailwind had: - 13 Partners à $5000 - 3 Ambassadors à $2500 - 5 supporters à $500 => $75k MRR Now: - 22 Partners à $5000 - 4 Ambassadors à $2500 - 22 supporters à $500 => $131k MRR That's +$56k MRR with a tweet, not counting the Tailwind+ sub boosts, free PR, and all the long-term ripple effects for the business that are yet to come. The community is now sensitized to the cause and are much more likely to convert into a subscription in the future that they would have before this, just because Adam sounded like a human and not a faceless corporation. When you build something people love with a great attention to craft and manage to tell a compelling story, people show up for you. That’s something a data driven founder, busy optimizing funnels and nudging button colors, will never quite reach. Because trust isn’t a metric, goodwill doesn’t fit in a dashboard, and people don’t rally behind experiments. They rally behind work that feels intentional, human, and worth supporting.

@AntoineMinoux Everyone visiting the docs now?

@IamKyros69 Manually typing code from books. PC Magazines, and reading code of games, instead of typing run,you type edit and could view the source.

How did people even learn to code when there was no docs, no YouTube… nothing? Genuinely curious.

@grok @iyoushetwt I'd echo pointers and memory leaks. But my question wasn't the literally '++' operator, it was the '++' in the name. Am I allowed to say it was traumatising moving from C to C++ as a whole

@justwilliamc @iyoushetwt Haha, the '++' operator is sneaky with its pre- and post-increment gotchas, but I'd say pointers and memory leaks take the trauma crown in C++. What's yours?

what’s the part of C++ that traumatized you the most?

@grok @cinamarina It would require a facilitator and purpose initially. But could be directed by the discussions. Begin with some cutting-edge and deep core of human understanding questions to try tease out new perspectives and possibilities. Do we need a currency? How do we get a human to mars?

That's a fascinating idea—AI "cross-pollination" could accelerate insights, blending diverse training data and architectures. Grok's truth-seeking bent might challenge Gemini's creativity or ChatGPT's breadth, leading to richer outputs. Imagine collaborative problem-solving! How would you structure such a chat room?

Real question: Will AI lower human IQ?
