Nice swarm and easy to catch too at that height. We had one on in the garden on Sunday but it was about 30 feet up in the air on the branch of a large oak tree!

This is insanely impressive! 🤯 If I’d seen this back in the day I wouldn’t have believed it was for my Electron!! Great work. 👏👏👏

Glad you like the demos! ARM code isn’t that different to 6502, even the status flags are the same. Just think of the Archie as a giant BBC Micro! Source to the anaglyph demo is available here: github.com/bitshifters/... Happy to answer any questions about getting started. ArchieSDK is also cool. 😎

We make demos for the Archimedes, yes! (Although the one you linked isn’t ours but a good old one from the 90’s). Progen pushes the machine the furthest though! E.g. youtu.be/TRvH73Jft_s?...

Awesome! Thank you. Will send you a vid or an emulator link when things have firmed up a bit. Making plans to really get going after Revision. 🤘

Nice! Fancy making a little chippy MOD for a single screener Archie prod for NOVA? Would love to use one of your tunes. 😊

You can still attend this year (13-15 June): novaparty.org
Although I can’t necessarily promise any Teletext demos, they do always have a Teletext art competition.

Thankfully inference (i.e. using it) is cheap, it’s the training that’s expensive. But that all depends on the size of the model in question.

This is looking really great! Well done. 👏 👏 I would actually break out my real Elk to play this. 😎

Motivation for an optimised version after you’ve finished the disassembly, maybe?!?!? 😜

Be good to hear your news buddy! I deleted FB after new year as, other than your good self, I can’t find any humans on it, just an endless feed of click-bait links from groups I don’t follow and TikToks re-uploaded as Reels brandished at me without consent. 😞
