djmips··on I-have-ADHD: A skill to stop coding agents from burying the answer
Intertia. Codex wasn't as good at coding until Astra dropped.
djmips··on Watch Los Angeles get built, one building at a time (1880–2026)
I noticed most of the tall buildings are sixties to eighties. Some more info about that here. https://www.pbssocal.org/shows/artbound/a-brief-history-of-l...

C looks challenging to clean
djmips··on Is mathematics about to enter the conservatory?
They didn't mention coders but my idea is to have Silicon habitats of programmers recreating nineties professional programming on Pentium PCs in dimly lit cubicles. Tourists shuffle by watching live coding like watching a blacksmith at a Colonial Williamsburg.
djmips··on StemDeck, a free, open-source and local AI stem separator
Neuromancer had stims and cyberdecks... I guess you've brought it full circle.

djmips··on Turns are Better than Radians (2022)
and that's exactly what we did in the old days of 8 bit games. We called them BRADs but others had their own names.
djmips··on Turns are Better than Radians (2022)
In the old days of making 8 bit video games we used BRADs of 0-255 - worked well and the wrap was easy.
djmips··on Unlocking a locked/deactivated e-waste Cricut Maker
Thanks. I DO have an old Silhouette vinyl cutter sitting around... gathering dust! I picked it up at a thrift store many years ago and just waiting for you comment I guess!
djmips··on LLM City – 3D render of all Kimi K3's weights as 2.5mm tiles
Well it does look like the Tron world - and the MCP
djmips··on Tim King, AmigaDOS developer, has died
that seems like a bit of an oversight considering his history and on balance what's already in the Wiki which has an American bias I feel.
djmips··on AI isn't killing consulting. It's killing time as a proxy for value
Interestingly using AI is priced by tokens rather than outcomes.
djmips··on Did they ghost you?
Last year I interviewed with Epic Games and I didn't get the job but they arranged a meeting to let me down easily, encourage me to apply for other positions. I really appreciated that!
djmips··on Building a Tiny 3D Renderer for a Tiny Handheld
This is more interesting since it's actually 3D
djmips··on The Visual 6502
I'm seeing 34 Hz on a Ryzen 7 3600X 3.6 Ghz with Chrome. 47 Hz in Firefox.
djmips··on Terence Tao's ChatGPT conversation about the Jacobian Conjecture counterexample
That may be true of a lot of posts on programming and other topics, nevertheless they are still interesting.
djmips··on Terence Tao's ChatGPT conversation about the Jacobian Conjecture counterexample
firefox has a built in VPN now. I wonder if it would work for you.
djmips··on Terence Tao's ChatGPT conversation about the Jacobian Conjecture counterexample
have you experimente with https://huggingface.co/HauhauCS/Qwen3.5-9B-Uncensored-Hauhau... to test that conjecture? It's very easy to try.
djmips··on OpenAI and Hugging Face address security incident during model evaluation
for hacking I assume that would be the case

Do you see potential for automation based on what you learned from your hand tuning?

He's into all kinds of things!
djmips··on The Zilog Z80 has turned 50
Sharp SM83 assembly. ;-)
djmips··on The Zilog Z80 has turned 50
Are you sure about that anecdote around the GBA? It would make more sense that they used the Sharp SM83 core - which is pretty far from a Z80 considering it's missing IX, IY and the entire alternate register set. It certainly does have some Z80 instructions and even some SM83 specific instructions. On the dial between 8080 and Z80 it feels closer to 8080 to me.
djmips··on The Zilog Z80 has turned 50
RISC-V has no overflow flag? That's fascinating. I'll have to dig into that!
djmips··on The Zilog Z80 has turned 50
It feels a bit like a first language. That's the one that really sticks with you.

Maybe at least include the date

djmips··on Fixed three bugs that made Qwen3.5-122B a daily driver on Mac Studio
fascinating! That's a useful thing to know.

I was thinking to myself as I was reading the post that here we go again - it's like how much can a man take. It's not that it's unclear... because it is easy to read. I also long for regular old human writing, warts and all.
