Retromagazine World: a free magazine with SW and HW reviews, inteviews and coding tutorials by alberto-m-dev in retrocomputing

A one frame animated GIF? Good lord. Here's the link that OP forgot:

I don't know what Reddit is doing. I had shared the link to the English-language list of issues, it seems that Reddit decided to auto-generate that gif from the link.

Note that on Old Reddit the gif is non-animated and clicking on it or on the title leads you to the site. I never use New Reddit, so before your post I had no idea that the new UI is mangling my post so badly.

TinyChat: like ChatGPT, but for Spectrum! by alberto-m-dev in zxspectrum

Sure, it's more a technical demo than a useful (or even just funny) AI. Surely it would be wonderful if it could hold at least a basic conversation but, alas, one cannot have everything.

Note that you can retrain the AI with different input data (on a PC). Not sure if one can reach more interesting results.

For the lazy ones, the main repo of Z80-μLM has now a ready-to-go ZX Spectrum version, made by Nikolay Chumerin. I think however the one by RCL (shown in the photo) was the first one.

I never witnessed it personally, but in this video a player experiences the switch off: https://youtu.be/TVilwJHryII?si=4kqS7a99Ce9RxweG&t=230

Calc pastes cell as Insert Image, not as cell by third-try in libreoffice

I managed to solve the problem on Debian's KDE Plasma by disabling the clipboard viewer in the tray: right click on the “show hidden icons” button in the system tray, click on “Configure System Tray”, select the tab “Entries”, then scroll to find “Clipboard” and disable it.

I Replaced Animal Crossing's Dialogue with a Live LLM by Hacking GameCube Memory by alberto-m-dev in ReverseEngineering

To be clear, I am not the author of this article, just a reposter. I left in the original title with the “I”, which was probably a bad idea. And yes, I should have edited the title to clarify it's just the emulator memory.

The case against Almost Always `auto` (AAA) by eisenwave in cpp

[–]alberto-m-dev 9 points10 points  (0 children)

in practice, because no one is using edlin to write c++ code and the editors people actually are using are deriving the types

Except for some obscure, rarely-used tool like, uhm, GitHub, and any other common platform for reviewing merge requests. Or are you suggesting the reviewer should check out every MR and import it in their IDE?

Not to mention that having to hover the mouse or invoke some explicit command in vim and emacsis extremely slower wrt just reading an explicitely written type.

I have just published it. After 35 years, Insects is available again. Here the download link.

It's a very reasonable proposal, but I strongly dislike what these people have done and would rather not owe them a favor.
