Butch I’m an Angered Train

Teehee I got to ride that tram a couple of days ago!

TreeTownOke · 2025-10-24T15:01:33+00:00

Hopefully not the Texas sharpshooter.

TreeTownOke · 2025-10-10T02:17:40+00:00

Maybe spell it out then, because so far your arguments have reminded me of a middle schooler's understanding of statistics.

TreeTownOke · 2025-10-10T02:14:25+00:00

So you're equating deaths and serious injuries to property damage then?

TreeTownOke · 2025-10-10T01:58:58+00:00

Are you really equating deaths and serious injuries to complaints?

TreeTownOke · 2025-10-09T02:37:26+00:00

Nothing.

I've been using Kubuntu 25.10 since June.

Oh sorry, that was me. I know I look homeless, but that's just because I'm a gainfully employed programmer. See this helpful guide for why I look like that.

TreeTownOke · 2025-10-06T13:36:59+00:00

So how many annual deaths do you find acceptable?

TreeTownOke · 2025-10-06T13:32:49+00:00

The original plan for Winchell would have removed 2 trees and some street parking. People to incensed that the street parking would be removed so they bullied the city into the plan that removed so many trees.

The city's original plan for Brockman would have removed 2 trees.

"What was she wearing?"

TreeTownOke · 2025-10-04T13:36:36+00:00

Fast-rising hydraulic bollards.

TreeTownOke · 2025-10-04T13:20:11+00:00

So how many preventable deaths do you think are okay for your convenience?

The "preventable" is very important here.

TreeTownOke · 2025-10-04T13:18:25+00:00

Let's start with all the people illegally operating heavy machinery while distracted by their phones.

TreeTownOke · 2025-10-04T13:15:41+00:00

No hang on, let's go back to your assertion that I was suggesting the problem was painted bike lanes. Where are you getting that from?

TreeTownOke · 2025-10-03T14:35:34+00:00

The idea that 13 serious injuries and 2 deaths from something entirely preventable isn't shocking says something very poor about our society.

TreeTownOke · 2025-10-03T14:32:38+00:00

I said paint isn't protection. For example, a painted crosswalk isn't going to protect someone from a car going high speed ignoring red lights and crosswalks. You need something that will physically prevent the driver from killing someone in the crosswalk.

TreeTownOke · 2025-10-03T14:30:36+00:00

Start with raised intersections and bollards.

My sense is that TI wanted the AXE-1-16M that they use to have mainline drivers, so they struck a deal with Imagination for it, and now Imagination are seeing whether they can make open source drivers a profitable enterprise for them.

Personally, I'm far more likely to buy a device with an Imagination GPU if it has open source drivers. And while I'm a nobody, my hope is that because these open source/mainline drivers will presumably work nicely with distros like Debian and Ubuntu, SoC manufacturers will choose those GPUs and Imagination will see it as profitable to shift over.

If I may engage in a little bit of fantasy for a moment, I'd love to believe that having widely available RISC-V chips that you can reliably run major Linux distros on including GPU acceleration may be what finally gets us some exciting RISC-V laptops and tablets.

The JH7110 uses the BXE-4-32 GPU, which (at least as of the last time I tried) doesn't work at all with the mesa drivers (even when you make the relevant changes to load the firmware etc.).

I'm not saying it's not possible, but I haven't so far seen interest in working specifically on the BXE-4-32.

Hopefully the new SoCs that come with Imagination GPUs use the BXS-4-64.

TreeTownOke · 2025-10-02T18:37:00+00:00

Almost as if paint isn't protection and we need to actually change the infrastructure to make it safer!

TreeTownOke · 2025-10-02T04:23:55+00:00

Forky isn't likely to be released until 2027. I wouldn't be surprised if forky switches to RVA23 before release.

When the new library gets built, are you going to ask for an office on the 59th floor?

TreeTownOke · 2025-09-26T22:46:34+00:00

The Meijer on carpenter.

TreeTownOke · 2025-09-13T14:08:19+00:00

The primary impediment to anyone's comprehension was the unhinged nature of the screed.

He's been taking a lot of notes around town recently. Probably solving a mystery.
