C64 was not a port. The C64 version is the original.

Nothing wrong with that. That’s actually a good use of that well designed, high quality font. People hating it only do so because everyone else does. It’s, obviously, not made as a body text font, and has been misused as that, but it’s good for illustration, comics and other places where it’s combined with graphics. It’s one of the most legible fonts we have.

I think AI can write good already. It’s all up to the prompt. Strong guidelines. Without them, it will sound like an AI because, just as the article said, the language reflects the writer.

The article says that it’s manufactured in Japan.

What about giving it to your secretary with a list of what to shop?

Icosahedron is the classic? I have never ever seen an icosahedron globe in my life, neither real or digital. What in the world happened in the brain or artificial neural network when that title was picked for an icosahedron “globe”?

That usage is not a generic payment usage. This is a use case it is good for. But if 8 billion people should use Bitcoin for their everyday shopping, that is a totally different case...

Products for children, medical equipment and all things with a radio (nfc, Bluetooth, mobile radios, WiFi +++) requires an external accredited lab.

You can test electronics without a radio yourself, but it requires a very extensive lab. Few companies can do this. But you can save money by using a non accredited lab.

You can’t self certify any products including a radio (almost everything today due to WiFi and BLE), products for children or medical equipment. An accredited lab is required.

The pre certified module do not exempt the product from testing. It only means that you don’t have to do the conducted testing and that it’s a higher probability for passing the other tests. There are still lots of chances to fuck up and a full radiated test of the product is required.

The article doesn’t mention certification, which is expensive and demanding, but required for any product containing a radio to be legal to sell.

Very interesting. I tried to make a tree based agent two years ago but back then the LLM couldn’t manage to navigate the tree effectively. But today everything is different: better LLMs, and we have better understanding on how to instruct them.

I’ll try it and maybe I’ll be inspired to make my current home brewed agent more document focused again.

One drawback is much higher token usage because we get a very good saving in the cached data.

A little heads up: in your web page, the header download button force double screen with on mobile (iPhone 17 pro). No big problem but always an annoying when a page scrolls in two directions.

Wasn’t also the graphics driver moved to kernel space in XP? A good performance boost at the cost of unrecoverable crashes if the driver failed.

The issue with COBOL code is that it’s hidden. It’s mostly internal systems so little code available for training. HTML, TypeScript, JavaScript, C, etc, are readily available, billions of code lines.

Reminds me of old Mercedes and BWMs with built-in NMT phones in their console. The cars lasted a lot longer than the NMT standard for mobile phones.
