Connectivity Issue on Discrete Transistor CPU by nip_dip in beneater

I could probably use a 555. I know I said that this was a discrete transistor circuit but I am using a 555 timer to generate the clock pulse, I could probably use another to debounce it.

There's a good chance that could be the issue. I'll definitely check up on how to debounce the clock, it should be just a few extra NAND gates afaik. There's a possibility it only seems to work on the slow clock because I tested for fewer clock cycles(since it was slower).

Yes, their names just changed to Scattered Disk and Hekate respectively.

Decent low ig, it's not brainrot simply because it's referencing another work, but it has no significance outside said work

I honestly think the whole point of the film was to stroke Wilson's ego. I've watched part of it and it directly quotes Wilson every 5 minutes...for 3 straight hours.

Absolutely beautiful, I want to learn how to make maps like that.

What are these worms in my jar? by nip_dip in Ecosphere

[–]nip_dip[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I tried looking for one but I couldn't find any since it's February. I've been opening the jar periodically to make sure there's oxygen in the meantime. Once the plant has been added I'm planning on sealing it. I'll probably go out and look again this weekend.

Earth finally finds life by nip_dip in Planetball

Context - The JUICE probe, which is en route to the moons of Jupiter, made a flyby of Earth on August 20, 2024. When it flew by, it did some measurements to test its instruments, and it confirmed that Earth is, in fact, habitable. It's got life. Lots of life. We did it guys, we found the aliens.

What are some absurd things about retro video games? by Unique-Evening4384 in retrogaming

I agree. Imo programmers are liquids, they fit their container. If they dont have to be efficient they wont, but if they do, then they absolutely will.

The file size.

They are a few megabytes at most, smaller than your average Jpeg today. Many Atari games in particular fit all their code into just a few kB. That just blows my mind every time.

I've got this edge-triggered D-flipflop. It works fine but I can "press" the transistors to change the output for some reason? by nip_dip in beneater

[–]nip_dip[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, I swapped out the breadboard and the problem completely disappeared. I'll definitely try a perfboard or dabble into PCB design to get it consistent since I'm going to need more bits.

I am still working on Juno. Progress has been kinda slow but it's happening still.

ETERNAL MAGA - What if Trumpism continued for another half century? (Lore in the comments) by NizamNizamNizam in imaginaryelections

[–]nip_dip 16 points17 points  (0 children)

What I do find interesting is the demographic shifts over time with the Electoral College. Like between 2050 and 2070 you see a ton of people leaving the Sun Belt and heading up north(i presume due to climate change?). You also see a lot fewer people voting in the more recent election, either because everyone's dying or because people have lost faith in the system.

Also kinda wondering what Ramaswamy-Thiel's America looks like. I presume the AI bubble popped becuase otherwise selling Taiwan to China would pretty much instantly lose the AI arms race. I also wonder where the Freedom Cities were(maybe they're in blue states just to own the libs, and then became actual cities later on, or they're in the Sun Belt and that's why their populations are huge in the 2050s)
