After 3+ years, I finally made a bio!

Emulating IC-based games + some other projects, stay tuned | DMs open | nb don't/care

@eevee Shhh! Think of the stonk prices!

[ColeCat @ColeCat_Really]

@IanCutress @Qualcomm Ian, are you sure the company that sponsored you wasn't really TSMC in a Qualcomm mask? Because the main takeaway I got is that TSMC's 4nm is practically an entire nodeshrink compared to Samsung's (so-called) 4nm

[ColeCat @ColeCat_Really]

@sanityenvoy @IanCutress @Qualcomm Apple definitely has a >1 generation lead in CPU and a moderate lead in GPU, but Apple is a niche market (albeit a very big one) and Qualcomm has other competitors in the android space which it compares favorably against. Those Nuvia cores do sound pretty interesting though.

@Amberly98826541 @ameliexrose Do you mind taking a Turing test?

[ColeCat @ColeCat_Really]

.@foldingathome will the trajectories for https://t.co/NNyhwzXdKv be available for download sometime? I've had no luck in finding accessible trp-cage data so far.

[ColeCat @ColeCat_Really]

@IanCutress Do you think they'd let you scan them if you had a portable spectrometer on hand?

Them: if the 🇺🇸founding fathers🇺🇸 were alive today they would WEEP upon what our culture has devolved into

Me: Sure, some of them would, but I'm also 99% sure that Ben Franklin would immediately become a Furry

@mmogaddict @TPKanslia @oryxspioenkop I can already imagine seeing this in a High School textbook 30 years from now

[ColeCat @ColeCat_Really]

@MuzafferKal_ @maded2 Quite true. Especially since programming functionality is usually much easier than designing hardware to do the same task.

[ColeCat @ColeCat_Really]

@MuzafferKal_ @maded2 Programmability costs gates though, which is why there was a period of fixed-function arcade games. Good thread(s) https://t.co/IVCF1QUs02

[Ethan Johnson (Play History) @GameResearch_E]

We should note, this game is a TTL game which means it does not run off a CPU. It is currently unpreserved and there's a lot of work to be done to save the games from the 1970s, of which there is more notable than just Pong, Breakout, and Space Invaders.

[ColeCat @ColeCat_Really]

@MuzafferKal_ @maded2 There was very much a period of a few years where games were made only with TTL dedicated circuitry. Some actually got rather advanced despite lack of CPU https://t.co/T2r2yN3KAB

@Underfox3 @reaktor_field @jonmasters I must've missed this, can someone link it?

[ColeCat @ColeCat_Really]

@SwiftOnSecurity Society would frown on the age difference though.

Highest-res drone footage of the Andover, KS #tornado which has received a preliminary rating of EF3. Note how the tornado propagates via vortex dynamics and likely terrain. Incredibly, no lives were lost by this tornado

@sparticus42 @MidnightTe4 @loresjoberg What article?

[ColeCat @ColeCat_Really]

This is literally 1984. Ray Bradbury is rolling in his grave.
