fallat··on The Forth Deck mini: a portable Forth computer with a discrete CPU
You program anything your heart desires :)

* it can be a calculator * it can be a text editor * it can be a side scrolling shooter * it can be a text adventure * it can be a life simulator * it can be an algorithm playground * it can be a way to work on larger programs in smaller pieces in quiter places!

etc.

fallat··on The Forth Deck mini: a portable Forth computer with a discrete CPU
I've built 5 of the author's My4th Light boards. Contact me (bio) if you're interested in one. I wouldn't mind building a batch of Forth Deck minis if people are interested too.

I plan to do a small demo video on Forth but haven't gotten around to it yet.

fallat··on 3D Gaussian Splatting as Markov Chain Monte Carlo
I'm just starting to use photogrammy in hobbyist game maps to provide "chill maps". Unfortunately splatting will not be possible there.
fallat··on Ask HN: Why did 3D Printing buildings never became big?
Because I think pouring concrete and putting up steel beams is faster and more stable
fallat··on Daylight Computer – New 60fps e-paper tablet
I need you to tell me. Why are you not selling these as components for others to integrate? If this is truly better, and you hold patents, you would get zillions orders. Every hobbyist under the sun would buy this.
fallat··on Ilya Sutskever to leave OpenAI
Yeah what. That guy above you is absolutely blind.
fallat··on Cold brew coffee in 3 minutes using acoustic cavitation
I looked up "transducer" and it seems to be what you'd need. But! You seem to have found where I was wrong: the horn. The horn seems to be the actual expensive part here. They could start a business I guess selling these en-masse. If anyone has any ideas how a maker could create this within reason please reply.
fallat··on Cold brew coffee in 3 minutes using acoustic cavitation
What? I went on Aliexpress and found a 40KHz transducer for $40. You can 3D print the attachment, can't you?
fallat··on Apple introduces M4 chip
The reasoning is money. Come on.

fallat··on Zed Decoded: Rope and SumTree
There are so many high performance editors that are just lists of strings. It's evidently false they are not high performance.
fallat··on Ask HN: How to manage phones and PCs for elderly parents?
VNC + Tailscale. I can VNC into their machines at any time and help them.
fallat··on Akaunting is free, open-source online accounting software for small businesses
I started using ledger-cli this year. I can't imagine anything better.

Someone should just write a ledger-cli graphical view with the text file as still the primary way to input new data.

fallat··on Meta Llama 3
Let's fucking go!
fallat··on PS1 Programming Course with MIPS Assembly and C
Release the videos as lower quality; maybe make the downloadable content not as nice to browse?

Brings to question: did RBC know? How did they not know?
fallat··on Don't use NameCheap for the .fr TLD
There are actually benefits to registering for a ccTLD in your country of nationality, as you're touching on, but others reading are missing or not aware. .ca also has these features.
fallat··on Amazon and iRobot call off their planned acquisition
The point is if the company RPG character is to survive itself the trust stat must be at a certain level which means statistically there's a level trust you can have in most companies otherwise they would all be dead because everyone would be DIYing everything and "efficiency of scale" or "efficiency of markets" wouldn't be a thing :)

I think we all agree it's not that simple. But ycombinator comments isn't the greatest place to debate this kind of thing either, so I apologize. I get your side too, and unfortunately I dont think either of us has the time to unravel everything lol x)

Have a great day!

fallat··on Amazon and iRobot call off their planned acquisition
I hope you realize you are born, fed, sheltered, and survive because of corporations. Corporations's goals can easily align with the well being of yourself. Trust is one part of many stats a company has to maintain like an RPG character, and it doesn't come for free.

fallat··on Show HN: Programming with Pure Lambda Calculus
I await the day an efficient lambda calculus reducer is laid upon us.

Essentially it'd be massively parallel.
