When someone finds out you know “a lot of odd things for a civilian game developer”. Well, it helps to be well rounded.

I had weight loss surgery but the real fix would have been popularity, girls, fun and travel. I had a big need for those things but wasn't shaped right for it, so I compensated with other things.

What's wrong with modifying free software again?

There's this guy in my neighborhood that runs around wearing an orange safety vest that says "Autistic" and I kinda want one.

Yes and No. If you have lived in China, you must have noticed the lack of honorable business practices and precision. So for every pearl of excellence there are a dozen scoundrels trying to ride on that success, and it creates an enormous downward pull on those.

We can already see a higher frequency of microcontroller "bugs" in silicon. GigaDevices GD32 cloning of STM32 has plenty of mistakes in them, much higher than ST. And that is with IP purchased from ARM.

So the new Big Tech election interference plan is to just stop recommending any political content as it’s all bad for “the party”.

Who the fuck uses Threads? People should stop using Facebook too.

Just FYI apparently has switched to the incredibly abusive and poorly maintained oliphant block list that is itself dictated, in part, of mastodon.art's abusive block list.

See my response here: mastodon.acm.org/@freemo/11190

As well as the Admin admitting this is the case here: mastodon.acm.org/@wild1145@uni

very disappointed in their lack of due diligence.

My #FOSDEM presentation about #Wayland video offloading is online. If you are interested, you can watch it here: fosdem.org/2024/schedule/event

I'm happy about feedback, both on the technical side as well as how I can improve doing presentations :)

Yes, I read it all... ;-)

I am probably more hopeful that we will see progress (outside copy/paste-china) for all but the most compute intensive usages, i.e. embedded controllers.

With prices for custom asic also dropping quickly, I think there is a future for open source adopted by many non-asic companies, and a decent job market for people with experience in it.

We are now roughly at 1990 in software, long way to go.

The highlighted portion shows how algorithmic analysis works in financial surveillance. First compile a list of naughty behaviors, in the form of MCC codes for guns, sporting goods, and pawn shops. Then, create rules: $2,500 worth of transactions in the forbidden codes, or a number showing that more than 50% of the customer’s transactions are the wrong kind, might trigger a response. The Committee wasn’t able to specify what the responses were in this instance, but from previous experience covering anti-money-laundering (AML) techniques at banks like HSBC, a good guess would be generation of something like Suspcious Activity Reports, which can lead to a customer being debanked.

But is there any serious RISC-V that is "open source" licensed?

An free/open specification doesn't mean that free/open RISC-V implementations exists that are of high enough quality.

" is in a very tough business, and with RISC-V coming up and being truly open source, it can only push and pull so hard"

Fellow nerdicators... what do you use as a replacement for google calendar.

Most important thing is having something cool, unique, innovative, and just plan novel, not a remix... something special :)

OSS is a plus, and having a beautiful web front end is also a huge plus
