@ob1systems @maruksp WIP here github.com/orvn/pi-jam Still a bunch to go

@maruksp I will try to port it then, sounds like a cool project.

Show JAM: Just an Atari neural language Model, running bare-metal on 50 years old 8-bit hardware. Pure 6502 assembly. Integer-only inference. No floating point. No hardware multiply. No emulator tricks. Works on any Atari 400/800/XL/XE near you. Built for 1.79 MHz and 4 KB–80 KB RAM. Link in comments. 🖇️👇 #Turbo2026 #ICOMPUT #Atari #8bit

@ob1systems @maruksp Love this idea, working on it. Problem is, do we run it on bare metal and squeeze a bit more in, or do we shove it in there with linux for good interfacing/interop

@maruksp Can we run this on a Pi zero W?

@_TylerHillery @cryptopatrick In CS schools they use "How To Prove It", and Levin's "Discrete Math Open Introduction" (discrete.openmathbooks.org/dmoi4.html).. But for me it connected with Hammack's "Book of Proof" richardhammack.github.io/BookOfProof/Ma… It's just kind of gentle and unassuming, and comes off as readable.

@cryptopatrick Do you have any good book recommendations for discrete mathematics?

Finally pulled the trigger on Math Academy. I haven’t taken a math course since Calc 2 in 2017, which was so hard for me I changed majors. My goal is to follow the foundations path through Discrete Mathematics.

@cryptopatrick @_TylerHillery The book approach is really the way to go for me too. I got a bunch of Japanese stationery (erasable pens, flat notebooks, etc.) and it's been both satisfying and memory-reinforcing to physically write/solve.

@_TylerHillery Heard good things about Math Academy, but I've already found a process which works well for me: a couple of books, chatgpt, past exams, pen and paper.

@dundeez @XMCMXCII Okay might explain your sunny California disposition, we had some weird la niña shit barrage us this year

@orvn @XMCMXCII nah, i missed out

toronto > sf

@dundeez @XMCMXCII Were you here this winter?

@XMCMXCII the best part

@rowanlubke @JoshLipnik What's better than Pho Linh?

@orvn @JoshLipnik I’m talking about a specific building - don’t know why Google shows pics of all that other stuff, but its location is correctly marked on the map. GH3 have been doing amazing public works projects all over Canada, out of a tiny office right next to the best pho place in Toronto.

On my way to Toronto for the weekend. Let me know if there’s any newer buildings I should check out, like stuff built in the past 5-10 years.

@RTNToronto Kind of sloppy, lots of mistakes and inaccuracies

Watch the city of Toronto transform from the 1700s to today in a viral timelapse 🎥

@JoshLipnik @rowanlubke It's a work in progress, so far the main thing there is Biidaasige park, bridges, and the new river path

@rowanlubke Oh that looks cool, thanks

@predict_addict I went to Canadian, Indian, and Russian school systems. Indian (specifically the harder CBSE) had the most rigor.

Which system would YOU rather learn from?

Did you know? At China’s elite “985” universities (Tsinghua, PKU, Fudan – where ~80% of top tech/finance talent comes from), core math like calculus & linear algebra don’t use American textbooks as the main text.

@BenJames_____ Such a cool idea. What did you use for the thermal paper printer?

I made myself a mini fax machine. Dedicated phone number, instantly prints anything you text it.

@Ember421 @Cappy_Nate Energy isn't my area so I'm out of my depth here, thanks for explaining. So you're saying that even though moat provinces have surplus/export energy to the US, this is sporadic and doesn't increase the base load or affect the reserve margin. Datacenter uptime would. Yeah?

@Cappy_Nate @orvn Due to being restricted to <5% of capacity by 2035. Moat provinces already face a cliff in reserve margin then. But even then, the cost for *new*, firm capacity will be more in the ~15c/kWh range, if it is to not raise existing users rates faster than already expected.

Canada can become a $10T economy in 5-10 years. Here's how: (Like & share please) 💰AI Data Centers generate ~$12B per GW. ⚡️To get $10T, you need 1,000GW of electricity The world is racing to 1TW of compute, including Elon. So yes, 1TW is legit AI demand. /1 🧵

@BuildFutureTech @Cappy_Nate Not big, just a rack with a few boxes for some edge inference (GLM5) and some regular I/O from web apps. The energy cost is from Toronto Hydro (commercial) though.

@orvn @Cappy_Nate What scale?

@BoscoMac Can you explain what these are? It looks like a bunch of oscilloscopes and maybe some bench power supplies to my untrained eyes? But I don't know why you'd need so many lol

I set up the first devices in the new laboratory. The electronics laboratory is now fully air-conditioned. Stable temperatures for calibration. Soon the work tables will be set up. #hp #agilent #keysight #tektronix #rohdeubdschwarz

@ShimazuSystems Uninformed blue 90s movie futurism ruined the culture of beautiful low-eye-strain amber displays

The world craves amber. (GPS location is spooked here, just looks great)

@ahmednadar have you ever submitted a CBSA request when they incorrectly charge you duties on something you ordered to Canada?

@tobi That post cites another which conflated an ad from Simons (the department store), with an official government of Canada ad, so at the very least the data should be verified..

This should cause a lot more questions in Canada. My sense is that almost no one knows about this here?

@dhh The ad that's quoted is from Simons, a department store. It's a controversial ad, but it definitely isn't from an entity that represents Canada in any official capacity: theglobeandmail.com/business/artic…

This is such an unbelievably dark timeline. Would have been too marcabre and far-fetched an episode for Black Mirror in 2012.
