How on earth the AI knows I want the container's id has the prefix of "B"?

I deliberately used the word "container" instead of the word "box".

How???

(From the reaction, you may know this is my first time trying AI copilot, I mean, AWS code whisper)

Why does everything need a waitlist now?

It seems like JetBrains created a new tool called Grazie, which works like Grammarly, but also offers auto completion and other features.

(Now the AIs want to control how we talk! LOL)

Anyway, they have a wait list too. And you know what? I got acceded almost immediately after I enrolled the wait list.

Then why setup the wait list in the first place? Why use a waitlist if not too many people are whelming in your product?

Fig 1 is the result, printed with density 1, while fig 2 is printed with density 0 without interlacing. And fig 3 is what the result should be in theory.

You solve one issue, and introduced another one.

Interlacing is a good way to ease printhead overheating. When printing 10101 in a row, you might got 5 black dot (11111) because the overheating.

By printing the same picture multiple times, each time printing part of it, overheating can be greatly controlled.

However, there is no way to control the movement of the paper. The mechanic part is, hmmm, not designed for this usage.

Curves tool is so powerful, almost saved the day.

Also, I love gimp, where you can export almost every settings into plain text.

I export this curve to a file and has no issue on understanding them. Much better than Photoshop.

Tried gimp for image processing.

The printer really want to print black, even light gray will become black.

Despite I know I bought a label/sticker printer, I still want it to amaze me by letting it prints something with super precision.

But the fact is no. It's just a label printer, and it can only print labels.

I thought I can print grey pictures with it.

(During my testing, I found that this printer really struggled at control the temperature. It has some degrees of print density, but definitely can't do the gray picture.)

Start woking with a thermal printer SDK. It's written for android in Java.

They didn't provide any source code, but luckly, java program itself is the source code.

And now I decide to write my own SDK.

Yeah... "Vector<Byte>"

Can't believe Finnish people make candy/snacks from liquorice.

Due to pure curiosity, I ordered the "salmiakki" (salty liquorice) from Finland. And for god's sake, I only order 1 pack (40g).

I put 1 piece of that thing into my mouth, and I immediately recognized it. It's licorice tablets, a traditional Chinese medicine, which are widely used to treat respiratory diseases such as cough. And it's one of my most disgusting flavors.

Now I have 40 grams of things to deal with. OMG

For some unknow reason, I can't find the full video of this version. Some source suggested this is 2014, where 春野寿美礼 shares the character with another actress. But this youtube video suggested this is 2016.

I do hate copy right when google said some results are removed

Yesterday I had an argument/debate with my friend.

My friend suggested that "memory mapped I/O" should be appropriately named "virtual memory mapped I/O", otherwise it would be misunderstood as something that copied back and forth between CPU ram and IO devices, like Fig 1.

Then I argued that this misunderstanding won't happen if you consider the actual hardware architecture: There is no such thing to do the copy. The hardware only redirects your access to a certain ram address to a device's space. For example, the ram's 0x5000 to the UART chip register in this video.

And then we came to the ambiguity of the term "memory". He thought memory referred to the physical memory, considering the device memory is not related to the CPU's physical memory, thus it should be called "virtual memory mapped I/O", since the mapped space looks like a part of the CPU RAM but actually not. With this ambiguity, I thought the virtual memory itself will be ambiguous considering it's originally describing how OS manages processes' ram, and now you use it for IO mapping.

In the end, he thought me don't care about the logic of language, and is ridiculous. I thought this is fine, and I do not care the that, then what?

Youtube starts showing me a lot of harry potter clips, LOL

Apparently, samsung still needs to improve their handwriting to text system, as I didn't figure out how to write like a printer since I was young. Starting from 8, I just don't know how people can write characters strokes by stroke while still maintaining the general shape. And without continuous stroke, I just can't write.

R5S compared with Nintendo switch and Seagate portable drive.

It's pretty compact and can be easily fit into corners. The price is similar to a raspberry pi 4, about 100 USD, 4GB ram and 16GB eMMC.

That's will be my dedicated router for now. I'm not going to use all-in-boom, I mean, all-in-one solutions 🤣
