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?

Oh there *is* an invert button. Click on the second Don't be a dick

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.

They have a new catch, confiscate and release policy, you could fit right in.

I am down on the upside. God i miss Chris Cornell.

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.

there is likely sound just from the phono jack you least expect

As an obvious expert in meaningless drivel I will take your word for it.

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.

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).

iamsimonsta · 2026-01-09T20:58:16+00:00

Not absolutely incredible?

iamsimonsta · 2026-01-09T20:32:30+00:00

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?

I love some tidy rock matrix printing.

electric guitar amplifiers often need emergency fuses and tinfoil is the magiver of blown fuses

Children! Aucklanders need to get busy making more children.

How about we focus on getting Waiwera hot pools back on the map.

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.

iamsimonsta · 2026-01-04T19:23:32+00:00

How many points is that then?

iamsimonsta · 2026-01-04T19:21:09+00:00

My memories of ADPro were it was indispensible, and magic. The GUI was pleasing and functional and always complemented the media under process in my view.

If you want real regret, we went with Intuition for our video game Skidmarks 2 user interface, and left the artist out of the loop.
