Creating order out of chaos, or reverse (as needed).

@tngaskell Indeed, the tiny TLB and the tiny caches compete for which is the bigger dick-punch.

ARM PalmOS game “Warfare, Inc” running via my JIT on a MIPS device. PalmOS itself is native on the device now (statically translated). Runs fast enough to even synthesize its own audio — not that easy on the puny CPU that the VTech HELIO has.

@AsaNietsche @SciTechera I prefer to deal in Hz and bytes, eg:

[Dmitry Grinberg @dmitrygr]

@khaphora @SciTechera How about being the dumbest for using gigabytes and gigahertz where bytes and megahertz would do?

[Dmitry Grinberg @dmitrygr]

@ruider92545 @SciTechera You don’t need to. Machines are much faster than humans. Reaction time isn’t an issue. You can simply track the puck once it is moving towards you. Same as a pong “AI” doesn’t need to model a human mind, just the movements of a ball.

@ruider92545 @SciTechera Did it years ago. This is a trivial controls system problem, it was a project in one of my college controls system classes. A group of three mediocre people, one of whom I was, solved it over a few days using an AVR MCU.

[Dmitry Grinberg @dmitrygr]

@AsaNietsche @SciTechera That’s a nonsensical example. If there was an easier way to fly around the moon, by all means we should do it. Inefficiency should never be celebrated, unless it produces some other gain. There is no gain here.

Current ML coding tools, when applied to novel and/or complex problems, are comparable in results as well as in finesse to a sugar-high 5 year old who is very enthusiastic and has been given a free chainsaw.

[Dmitry Grinberg @dmitrygr]

@OneBitOnePixel I can. Yes. Dm me :)

[Dmitry Grinberg @dmitrygr]

@TomoyaOkazakiA @Hertz So far, they asked me to call a number, which i did and was told to leave a message. i'll try again during business hours and see if that improves things

[Dmitry Grinberg @dmitrygr]

Dear @Hertz, when i got read-ended while at a stop in your car, called your roadside number and got a "please call during business hours" message, i laughed. When I went to your location to return the car and provide insurance info of the person who hit me, and was told "do not worry we'll take care of it", i was relieved. But when weeks later you contacted me demanding i pay cash for the repair and told me hat in fact you "never take care of it" and you have no idea who told me, andit was on me to "handle it", I was furious. Luckily (with permission) I recorded your employee telling me at great length that you will in fact take care of it and after submitting this report at the location, there was no further action required of me. So, what now? Is this the sort of business you run? Lying to customers and attempting to gaslight them? Seriously?

[Dmitry Grinberg @dmitrygr]

@SusanSp4 @Hertz My car dealership paid - not me. So charging me won't work simply as they do not have my card

I’d vote for him

1 AM. Arkansas. A dog won't stop barking.

A father walks down the hallway. Opens his 14-year-old daughter's bedroom door.

The bed is empty. The window is open.

He already knows the name of the man who took her.

He's known it for three months.

Aaron Spencer is 37 years old. Army veteran, 82nd Airborne, deployed to Iraq. Farmer. Husband. Father of a little girl who used to sleep with the light on.

The man who took her is named Michael Fosler. 67 years old.

Three months earlier, when she was still 13, Arkansas had arrested Fosler and charged him with 43 separate crimes against her.

Sexual assault of a minor.
Internet stalking of a child.
Sexual indecency with a child.
Possession of child pornography.

43 counts. Against a 13-year-old girl.

43.

The judge looked at all of it. And set the bond at $50,000.

Fifty. Thousand. Dollars.

Then she wrote "no contact order" on a piece of paper and called it justice.

Fosler walked out the same day.

And on the night of October 8, 2024, he came back for her.

That's when Aaron Spencer grabbed his Glock 19.

That's when Aaron Spencer climbed into his Ford truck.

That's when Aaron Spencer stopped waiting for the system to save his daughter.

He found Fosler's truck on Highway 31. His little girl was inside it.

He chased him six miles. High beams flashing. Horn screaming. Begging him to pull over.

Fosler did not pull over.

So Aaron rammed the truck into a ditch.

Drew his pistol.

And fired sixteen rounds.

Fifteen of them found the man who raped his daughter.

Then he picked up the phone, called 911, and said the only words a father can say in that moment:

"Michael Fosler is dead on the side of the road for trying to kidnap my daughter. I had no choice."

The state charged him with second-degree murder.

The prosecutor went on TV and said, quote: "We don't live in the Wild West."

The judge slapped him in a jail cell.

And every father in this country went silent for a long, long minute.

Then something happened that nobody predicted.

Aaron Spencer, awaiting trial for killing the man who raped his little girl, announced he was running for Sheriff of Lonoke County.

A murder defendant. Running for the badge.

The whole country laughed. The pundits called it a stunt. The papers called it impossible.

March 3, 2026. The voters of Lonoke County walked into the polls.

They did not laugh.

They gave Aaron Spencer 53.5% of the vote.

They threw out the incumbent sheriff who had locked him in a cell. They gave him a 27-point landslide.

The father who killed his daughter's rapist is now the Republican nominee for sheriff in a county where Trump pulled 76%.

His murder trial begins June 22, 2026.

Five weeks from today.

If he wins the trial, his name stays on the November ballot.

If he wins November, he becomes the sheriff who answers 911 calls in Lonoke County, Arkansas.

The father. With the badge. Of the same county that arrested him.

This is what happens when a system lets a 43-count predator walk free for $50,000.

This is what happens when a judge writes a paper order instead of doing her job.

This is what happens when a father decides he is done waiting.

There is something left in this country.

Something the courts cannot kill.

Something the judges cannot bond out.

Something the prosecutors cannot silence.

It is called a father.

And in Lonoke County, Arkansas, 53.5% of the voters just looked Aaron Spencer in the eye and said:

"Sir. You did the right thing. Now come run the whole damn sheriff's office."

His trial starts in five weeks.

God bless Aaron Spencer.

And God bless every American standing behind him.

@xadh @i2cjak Only in emulation since it doesn’t support it natively.

@xadh @i2cjak Too little ram

If some judge gives 120 hours of community service to someone driving recklessly who kills my family I'm probably going to prison.

[Dmitry Grinberg @dmitrygr]

Into the goop :)
