I wonder what's the lowest possible hardware complexity and cost at which one could produce a Z80-compatible, by which I mean a drop-in physical replacement, electrically compatible.
Would it help to move complexity to software, to an emulator and/or JIT like Transmeta did?
I keep talking to people telling me that ChatGPT helps them deal with their writing block, and that they use it all the time for mundane tasks like writing emails. It is not my place to judge anybody’s subjective experience, but if that’s really the case, then what we need is a better education, that will make people comfortable with writing, not an #AI that will write platitudes on their behalf.
People have been fighting for #literacy for the last 150 years. I remember my great-grandmother struggling to write her name and the 10 digits (which she needed to play the lottery). My father was taken away from school when he was 13 and still finds writing letters very hard, being unsure about his grammar. I am the first in my close family to be fully happy with writing. And just when we are getting there, you want to be giving this wonderful human skill to a statistical, uncreative machine?
#OnThisDay, 20 Apr 1902, Marie and Pierre Curie refine radium chlorine. The discovery leads to Marie being the first woman to win the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903.
The Academy originally planned to award only Pierre and Henri Becquerel. Pierre insisted that Marie should also be included.
MrsNYbill is making chicken fajita's down stairs. This means the Dave's Ghost Pepper sauce is coming out. I'm having a Pavlovian response just thinking of the burn!
@FiXato He has worked with or remixed so many people!
(side note: BoyInABand turned out to have done some really seedy stuff and several collabs have taken down their videos they made together with him ... real milkshake duck moment 😬)
#RoomieOfficial is a Swedish singer (amazing), songwriter (amazing), producer (amazing) etc who is also a youtuber.
I learned of him quite a while back and looked up his channel, and his latest video then was like hey everyone I've been making a video a day for years and it's time for a break ... put up just a few days before I looked him up!
So I didn't follow him back then, but now I found him again and he is definitely active and pumping out videos, but not daily this time around. Still, there's more in there than I'll ever find the time to watch in full.
The first thing I watched from the last few years of RoomieOfficial was this analysis of "Surface Pressure" from "Encanto".
I must admit that this song has passed me by a bit, because the movie is just so overwhelming and full of bangers and *that context* makes it seem comparatively less sensational.
Roomie's analysis has made me realize that there are many little glorious details in the composition, lyrics and performance that I should have been paying attention to. I will be listening to the song with renewed interest and a deeper appreciation from now on.
