me and who :neofox_pleading: :neofox_sob:

literally have u seen girls tho

kernels compile so fast on modern laptops, it's literally a few minutes im old enough to remember hours

how to make control systems people's eyes twitch (@gardencourt) - (deep) neural nets as part of safety-critical control loops (yes this is from something that is literally happening at $job)

"ChatGPT says-" i swEAR TO GOD SHUT-UP

While cleaning up my dotfiles, I found this absolute gem of C shell configuration: $ cat ~/.cshrc if ( -t 0 && $?prompt) exec /bin/bash #dotfiles #shell #csh #bash

oh also had a very amusing interaction at work where I was chatting with people I get on with and I was complaining basically that I am bad at my job and I don't expect to ever be promoted and one helpful suggestion was literally "have you tried being better at it" it must be nice to be like […]

something I've been thinking about but is Dangerous ™️ is how to syntactically integrate shell commands into my programming language it would be convenient but also doing it in a way that makes any sort of syntactic sense is making me do the big thonk I thought something like "$ cmd" but […]

should i work on my 486 or my programming language jokes on you im eepy

if anyone is interested, here is my crappy set of scripts: https://github.com/MekahimeAkari/486lin They don't totally work but I've got a few bootable runs in qemu, now just time to get switch_root working and script initrd module trimming and it should sorta work oops also probably users/groups

I've been off sick for the last lil while so of course I started writing a script to build a Linux distro to use with 486s

@40whirl saw this and thought of you: https://github.com/cosmos72/schemesh

Me at 22: partially finishes a shite pdp-8-like 4-bit ISA and thinks I'm hot shit Me at 31: reads a 16 year old's blog about their 13th ISA this week which partially solves the halting problem and their side project which is a APL-like language providing the validity of homotopy type theory and […]

[uspol] *looks at the US* yeah that's fucked

my utopian dream would be a decentralised computer from the silicon to the OS, all open source and created by interconnected communities focussed on the art of computer touching™️ if anyone needs an SoC-level performance engineer for this let me know (i'm not a expert but it is my job) […]

No way, they finally merged it. Over five years of work.

The Braille Institute created a font designed to make reading easier for people with low vision called Atkinson Hyperlegible in 2019. It just released an update (Atkinson Hyperlegible Next) and monospace version with enhanced characters, 7 weights, and variable weight. They’re free for […]

I literally just got an email from an electric charging provider asking me to "save the date" for their upcoming *app update* who thinks of shit like this

The Internet is mostly shit these days, but every once in a great while I stumble across an incredible, passion-project website. This one is hand-animated weird art and it is worth your time as a fun decompressing thing in between your doomscrolling sessions. https://floor796.com I don't […]

very upset to find out that this person made the most fantastic mascots for libreoffice that went nowhere: https://www.deviantart.com/tysontan/art/Libbie-the-Cyber-Oryx-706906560

this is too real. everyone is like "oh you have autism? that must mean you’re really smart" and then when you tell them you’re overstimulated and need to go somewhere secluded they start going "oh will you please just stay? get over yourself"

no joke she would have singlehandedly caused at least several dozen furries to cancel their Microsoft Office subscriptions

well, watching videos didn't work correctly (delayed frames?) so back to the broken oracular setup being able to watch anime is a non-negotiable feature

the tension between me and the desire to just run gentoo on everything

me: I'm going to relax today (i'm sick) also me: huh so hiberation stopped working on my laptop recently, I should just quickly fix it oh so linux mint doesn't like when you upgrade the *debian way* they have their own graphical thing ok let's revert to the actual installed version so it can do […]

[respectfully] Was many pretty ,,,,, wooww ,,,,,,,,,, how ???? Pretty

Leaving Belgium now :< I like Belgian trains but Brussels-Zuid is a lil confusing when you're in a hurry

What days a place is open in Belgium seems to be a crapshoot. Sundays closed? Okay not too back. Monday and Tuesday too?? Why???

Belgium is neat

Needing to be somewhere on time and train cancellations, name a more iconic pair

[uspol] Fuuuuckkkkingggg hellll It's been 2 fucking weeks It feels like 2 fucking years Christ How does it keep getting worse???

Rip

Fr Leuven looks cool, only there for a couple days but looking forward to it

Oops I didn't hack again Too eepy (I learnt Dutch and booked train tickets instead)

Can I use Ghira on a ten year old Nvidia linux kernel driver? Would it work? I want opengl on my Riva128

Looks like no hacking again :/ how are people so productive after work?? My boss has been playing factorio for an hour and a half already I guess I learnt Dutch but doesn't feel productive

It's weird you have to remind engineers that if they have a frustrating argument about something technical it's probably not actually a technical problem

"How well do you know-" not well at all I don't know anything well I can still try and help though! (I often say this at work)

I've never related to a picture so much
