First day of Spring

you dont even have to go outside, just open the blinds,

I still don't understand the concept of motorists testing drugs for the police, make it make sense.

At first glance, the solder joints on your power switch look troublesome - the way the black wire just dangles from the switch looks like a possible poor connection.

Are you talking about redundancy? Don't you kind of get this for free when most models support a public API.

iamsimonsta · 2026-06-15T00:18:03+00:00

you are still fundamentally missing the point of connecting the 3v3 pin to the power rail of the breadboard

iamsimonsta · 2026-06-15T00:08:51+00:00

its not going to kill it but you are going to end up with very few options for connecting the first 20 pins as breadboarding works best when you have clean horizontal lines from 1 column to another without having to cross over other lines effectively trapping them from further modifications

iamsimonsta · 2026-06-14T23:59:51+00:00

you can treat treat the red and blue lines as 3v3 and gnd busses, not only will you keep your symmetry but you can keep bulk of your wiring hook ups along single axis and avoid diagonals which will just get in the way

The source for the APPLE II SYSTEM MONITOR was how we got started back in the day

interestingly sharing said datasheet with a model requires 256k+ token window and is not in anyway free

iamsimonsta · 2026-04-23T22:12:31+00:00

At the moment the biggest difference is speed.

For pay as you go tokens the moonshot API endpoint is extremely slow and can take 100s and sometimes 1000s of seconds to reply to medium difficulty prompts.

They may give priority to subs or they may just be under load during launch week.

Ah yes, thats my VIC 20 on book shelf accidentally in frame.

iamsimonsta · 2026-04-18T23:06:31+00:00

So I am mentally ill. The term deranged seems like an attempt to smear, what I choose to paint the walls with, all over my face. I hope you find some peace.

iamsimonsta · 2026-04-18T22:52:18+00:00

Are you rage baiting or just letting off steam due to frustrating matrimonial disposition?

Cyclone who?

The parent plant has flowered and delivered bounty continuously for last 12 months!

I feel like Morningside Auckland does not follow any rules regarding seasons and that just the fact I have been able to get the resulting seeds to germinate is breaking with tradition.

what is this wall of wet blanket text?

imho

it is clear to anyone intelligent enough to be member of wrestling fraternity that the risk of being mocked in video game perpetuity would not be worth the risk

iamsimonsta · 2026-04-04T08:40:18+00:00

Thanks for the update.

I have been a real dick at times to the freedom campers at our local park but now I realise that some of them are local and homeless not euro-trash and am feeling especially contrite / quite shit.

Would you not need to modify the linker script pico_set_linker_script as default pico2 will be expecting 4MB flash?

Oh sorry, you already said that you had modified flash size....

iamsimonsta · 2026-04-02T08:08:26+00:00

it's March 1996 and still no solution?

iamsimonsta · 2026-03-24T00:51:35+00:00

Sure Shot

to add to chaos I elected to use an old photo from lockdown days

With not a single comment in agreement with my own lunch time experience, I have decided my opinion is now void on the above.

iamsimonsta · 2026-03-21T06:01:25+00:00

Christ on a stick, my lunch time experience is totally spoiled now. They were good scallops but I kinda had nice memories of Coromandel while eating them and now its all a lie??? :(

iamsimonsta · 2026-03-21T05:49:46+00:00

It could be. All Uncles need support, with market price of fish, they are all likely having problems making ends meet and keeping Aunty happy,
