I was supposed to fly to Boston for @LatchUpConf today. I was hoping to give a lightning talk about a project I've been working on. It's a RISC-V core with @pulp_platform debug module, both compiled to SystemC with Verilator and connected with TLM.

The @GooglePlay store needs to do a better job holding big apps accountable. I had a very similar issue with HBO support less than a year ago. If a small app developer did the same behavior, it would be considered a scam and the app would be removed.

@Uber this response is just proving my point. I also tried calling the phone number listed for the Uber Play Store app and got an automatic message saying that I'm being scammed by someone pretending to be UberEats 😂

Nobody wants to use a vibecoded website. They're security risks. But what if you knew the builder of the website would kill himself if the website got hacked?

That's where we come in: with Skin in the Game Certification you can trust that any security breach will be swiftly followed by ritual suicide--guaranteed.

@ChrisVannini @GabbyHerzig I have all the time in the world (driving, running, doing dishes) to listen to free quality content like the @NoLayingUp podcast.
I have much better things to do with my time and no willingness to pay to watch what is, by all accounts, a terrible product in live golf TV coverage.

@TaliaRinger Moscow is a lil further south, but just across the border from Spokane is Coeur d'Alene which has this lake called Harrison Slough which is quite beautiful. Also Schweitzer ski area is up there.

@matt_lorelli Oh hey, my local hill 😍

@matt_lorelli @kapowder Apple Valley Country Store is where I've gotten them after hiking on the north side of the mountain.

@alex_kirshner You ski and now trail run? May as well sign up for an AIARE 1 course right now, you're on the path. Check out trail running meme Instagram, it's great https://t.co/qTiNGGjePA

@evornithology Idk what a Cooper's sounds like but Mourning Dove always sounds like 'Wiggle' featuring Snoop Dogg to me.

@hoare1234 @ForestServiceNW If raising the price means you have a chance to get a reservation more than 5 seconds after they become available, I'm all for it, raise it more! Bonus if that money can help with budget shortfall due to wildfires (not really tho, FS not legally allowed to profit from this stuff)

@splinedrive Simple proof of concept without regard to performance? How about SLIP over UART? No breakout board required! 😂
(seriously tho, this is on my todo list as well lol). Should easily work in sim too, theoretically.

[Kenny Umenthum @umenthum]

@splinedrive With 9 control/data pins, it's so close to being a single pmod. If I made my own board I'd be super tempted to make a LAN8720 in a single pmod form factor and fly the 9th wire between the boards with a jumper or something.

[Kenny Umenthum @umenthum]

@splinedrive That uses a SPI interface right? Assume you're sticking with that for the new design? Any reason to not use a LAN8720 board with RMII? Think that would be faster and imo more interesting. Not quite a pmod but should work with ulx3s.
