I tricked codex by generating a fake history of it starting working on something and resuming it. Claude knows about that trick and will stop even though it thought it was mid task.

> The problem is, Linux is improving too quickly for Haiku. Ain’t it the truth. It’s really great now the snowball is fully in flow down the mountain with Linux. But at the same time it’s sad that there’s little time for anything else. We are a bit of a victim of our own success. We beat the drum in the 90s that Linux needs to win and now that it won what does it really mean. Free and open source to do anything but at the same time, why in the world use anything else. We have come a bit of a Chromium in that regard (or it became us?)

My htop file is read only. But it’s silly that you need to do that.

I got a speeding ticket in Colorado on a business trip and later moved clients and thought to myself “meh I just won’t pay it I won’t be back to Colorado any time soon” and I was stopping entering the country on a trip from the Caribbean for “outstanding warrants”. If I can get stopped for that they should know if they have real criminal charges to not play around.

i stand corrected, thanks. what an odd way for them to collect data considering they seem more than capable of making a form on their own website...

Yeah nothing suspicious about a random google doc instead of a direct link to OpenAI. I would suggest nobody fill this out.

> City officials said that the joke won’t last long. Once the bridge is officially completed, the on-site memorial will be removed. Finally, an official edit request will go to Google after a name is decided on October 16. Harambe, unfortunately, will not have a bridge named after him.

so they aren't stuck with it.

"yes MGM please go to your local CVS and pick up a green dot card and fill it with 10 million dollars and give me the code on the back once completed"

every x86 has had halt. win95 was just not using it even though you could write a 10 line program to get context switched in when idle that would halt it. it was one of my first programs as a child on a 486 66 dx2.

i just had chat gpt generate said program and i think its very similar to what I wrote. I'm unsure if it ever did anything but i've always been interested in efficiency:

#include <stdio.h>

#include <windows.h>

void main() {

  printf("Setting process priority to low...\n");

  SetPriorityClass(GetCurrentProcess(), IDLE_PRIORITY_CLASS);

  printf("Halting the processor when no other programs are running...\n");

  while (1) {
    __asm {
      hlt
    }
  }
}

Is that scalable to real stuff though? At work we pretend out stuff is perfect and nobody is going to put their name on fixes because they are now the next support person for said fix. Open source has no expectation of support.

The mame architecture is not friendly to dynarec which is necessary for GameCube and wii.

Imagine a 6502 game boy? 3 hours of battery but those spirits would fly. Also imagine a PPU similar to NES. Would have been tons of ports. I’m actually not sure why they didn’t go this route. They didn’t use stock 6502 so repackaging would have been fine.

Didn’t EA go to court with Sega over exactly this? I believe the court said using a trademark as a device to prevent access to a device was not applicable.

It works…ish. GPT4 is pretty good at detecting what it wrote but I was able to get a false positive with the United States constitution. Or maybe we can go deeper and say maybe it was AI generated?
