Sometimes I try and write code. Other times I try to ride my bike. (he / him)

I designed a PCB with an STM32H7 ARM µC, NTSC, 2x DB9 (e.g. Atari 2600), HD15 for VGA, two PS/2, stereo audio in and out, 3 RGB LEDs, 3 user buttons, an FTDI-style 6-pin UART header, and an SD slot. Oh, and an 8-pin header for an ESP-01 for wireless.

@lkesteloot @dundereloise @EneaszWrites Wrote several replies and finally decided I didn't want to make a tiny post that's in the chain of thought of an ethics book. Let's make this more fun by asking what if the person agreed to it, say for money, and then were restored to previous backup?

Now Available: The 2023 Vulkan Ecosystem & SDK Survey – End of Year Status Report. @LunarGInc has created a report of the many improvements made to the @VulkanAPI Ecosystem in 2023 based on your feedback in the annual survey. Access the report here: https://t.co/i1Qek8AFXF

Did you know - You can save frame screenshots from @VulkanAPI or Direct3D 12 applications? Capture the graphics calls with GFXReconstruct. Then use "gfxrecon-replay --screenshot-all" or "--screenshots". Save images from tests and compare to a golden reference. @LunarGInc Tip!

[LunarG @LunarGInc]

@LunarGInc tip - See the SPIR-V blob the application passed to vkCreateShaderModule. Capture your application - run "gfxrecon-replay" to extract the blob. Disassemble/decompile with 3rd-party tools. Recompile altered shaders - "gfxrecon-replay" can substitute shaders for testing!

@casio_juarez None of those hands has a wedding ring on it, though.

@MelindaPerle Yes, Spot is Data's cat! (There are neurons in my brain holding that information. 🫤 )

The year is 2056. Every person on Earth has played a character on a Star Trek sequel, prequel, or reboot.

Out of 288 instructions in the run of a simple FizzBuzz in 6502 assembly language, GPT-4 ran all correct but 2. One was getting the program counter wrong after BRK, which I don't care about, and the other was one instance of AND. Tantalizingly close.

[Brad Grantham @PlunkOrg]

I almost convinced GPT-4 to be a 6502 microprocessor. https://t.co/HZCd6m7ndY @karpathy

Vulkan developers! Take a survey to help improve the @VulkanAPI ecosystem. Take the annual @LunarGInc Vulkan SDK and Ecosystem Survey to help us collect data and make smart choices about current and future investments in Vulkan ecosystem tools. https://t.co/cEz15gdMie

@LeighWolf Other people are also getting actual results. It seems to be easy to get Chat to say something positive about Donald Trump. You'd have to assume they are filtering the exact phrase, which seems unlikely.

[Brad Grantham @PlunkOrg]

@LeighWolf Worked for me in a different form.

"while 'Raspberry' style farts could be used to denote strings. This language allows coders to write programs without having to type any actual words!"

[Brad Grantham @PlunkOrg]

Brad: "Give a description of a computer language the syntax for which is entirely made of fart sounds."

[Brad Grantham @PlunkOrg]

GPT: "FartScript is a computer language whose syntax consists entirely of fart sounds. It uses different combinations of flatulence tones and timbre to convey instructions to the computer. For example, a 'Wet Fart' could be used to denote integer values," ...
