Slop cannons lol.

Local LLMs are getting pretty darn good.

OMG, LegacyScreenSaver is such a memory hog!

Search autocomplete but it halucinates the article titles.

I clicked a link in your first one and it generated https://halupedia.com/guild-of-amateurs

I feel seen :pokerface:

Break things, and then fix them. Repeat many times.

OTOH being able to ride off into the bush with your mates and build tree houses and whatever and "be home when the street lights come on", have no phone, &c. was very different to the world we brought our kids up in.

Agilefall, the worst of both worlds.

LaurieWired did a good episode about that kind of thing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2vQapLAW88

Very nice, couldn't work out how to get passed the 2nd level.

Hobby related forums are a great way for people working on similar projects to collaborate and share SoTA. Some random examples:

TI-99/4A was my first computer as well. I still have two of them, and they still work as well as they did in the '80s. I graduated to an Apple ][GS which I still have as well, although it needs some TLC before attempting to boot it so as not to let out the magic smoke.

I recently got a new battery for my N9000, still works fine other than the radio modem not having a cell to talk to anymore, now I just need to update the system.

I'm excited by the GC, ref types and JS string API! Been a while J, how are you going?

Good ol' percussive maintenance.

This is a problem I have spent quite some time thinking about but never came up with such an elegant solution. Fantastic write-up, thanks. I do hope you open source it at some stage, would love to have a play around with the code.
