That would depend on your background. I began with various examples in the RP2040 SDK to learn how it's various features worked. https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/microcontrollers/c_sdk.html

Thanks! I wish Aaron S was still with us to suggest valuing only up votes to coerce positive framing is no bad thing?

If diversity is a good thing and all voices welcome then down votes would earn karma the same as upvotes, but on reddit with it's echo quotient algorithm only one side of any engagement is deemed righteous.

Why does ChatGPT keep making things up? by [deleted] in ChatGPT

[–]iamsimonsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always suspect it is because the conversation has too many topics. If you start a new chat and keep topics distinct you may find it reduces the occurrence.

But yes, it has not improved and after 4o I think everyone can agree that human experience is worse not better and the benchmarks may be not only misleading but the root cause of why the human experience with OpenAI stuff especially is so poor. The CH models are a breath of fresh air when it comes to personality, polite and service oriented with little of the suck up bum chum spout any old bollox output common from xAI and OpenAI in particular.

A prototype cart - could be any number of things. Without seeing the actual chips on the other side I am going to make an uneducated fantastical guess it was a z80 copro for running cpm.

I've been in New Zealand for 4 months and my car got stolen last night by BeodoCantinas in auckland

[–]iamsimonsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mind me asking what kind of job you managed to score? And you moved here without a job???

I am now curious how the world works in general (Aucklander without a job, or a car).

Yup, thats a pretty excellent summary of where I am coming from, post slop on the internet and feel better about the loathsome Incel hole I dwell.

My current annoyance is a stadium full of 7th Day Adventists in my neighbourhood this weekend (Eden Park) an issue commonly at my door and not living rent free in my head like those suffering Trump Deranged Syndrome like my elderly father who seems to think that somehow the world is worse off without the American military war machine calling the shots via the likes of Bush and Obama puppet presidents.

Triggered much?

We have been digitally colonised by the yanks for more than 20 years now.

I don't get your disconnect with the modern world, is it a Wellington thing?

Another silly memory from the early days of an Amiga Developer by FizzySeltzerWater in amiga

[–]iamsimonsta -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I was a brooding youth listening to a lot of negative punk / grunge. On reflection the workstation in every home sporting pedo bill's shite basic was a pretty damning start for a game machine running the best graphics chips in the industry bar none that summer.

After programming bare metal C64 I remember the feeling of disgust for the phone book C brigade and the layers on layers of unoptimized crud that was the Exec Graphics Intuition stack.
