Pokémon Integer and Pokémon IEEE 754b— Standard for Floating-Point Arithmetic

this ai hackathon has actually been super useful! i now have access to cursor, which is a cool tool to use to reinforce the fact that i do not want any form of AI integration into my code editor. like holy fuck the ai fixes one thing and two more things break

small if true

wait no the load bearing ssh connection!

Apparently you can't get riolu until the postgame in Pokémon Black & White, so why the fuck am I playing this then? Knowing pokémon it'll be like 9999 hours of horrible grind to get to the postgame and then there'll be one millisecond of postgame content and you won't even have any reason to use any pokémon you catch

The latest special from New Ellijay Television is out now: https://vod.newellijay.tv/videos/watch/f1ee38b0-fcb6-4ddb-b58d-5d7a679b8444

It's about housing, but it was spurred on by a very bleak thing that the city of Atlanta did which resulted in the death of an innocent man.

CW for police violence, institutional racism, police brutality and indifference, and associated topics.

It's a very good video, Connor did a very good job producing it. It's bleak, it's sad, but it is also very clearheaded and ultimately revolutionary.

thank you SO much to all of you who have experimented with the network and documented your experiences and trials/errors with getting things working over the past year.

(and of course, a huge thank you to paul and dan for creating the network in the first place!)

all those blogs and pages have left us with an embarrassment of riches when it comes to marchintosh and globaltalk stuff. there are always a few people asking about how to connect and set up their hardware/software, and sometimes that's not easy to find.

so for this year's marchintosh, my contribution will be renewing the http://globaltalk.network domain and turning it into a publicly editable wiki for all things globaltalk. it's sat dormant for the past year because i just didn't know what to do with it.

i'm recovering from a flu, but in the next few days i hope to have the basic page up, and afterwards folks can start adding their own globaltalk info to it.

Vs code addon be like: Attention user! This setting is now deprecated!
Me: Okay, what's the replacement?
Addon: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

maybe you were aware that one thing that makes a website a "progressive web app" is that your browser can fake up the feeling of it being installed like a native app

which could in theory get us away from huge bloated platform specific development environments and just let us make apps the same way we make sites. maybe like electron except you don't need several gigs worth of a whole extra copy of a browser

welp desktop firefox and safari don't implement that 🤷

it would be funny* if firefox market share dropped to literally zero, but mozilla just kept zombieing on

churning out releases into the void, integrating bullshit nobody wants, giving the ceo a million dollar raise every year

all because google continues funding them to be their token antitrust avoidance entity

So, I have the first part of the A-roll edited for my inaugural YouTube video, but I still need to finish the remainder of the edit (the part where I'm actually coding). But I just can't seem to find the fucking time to do it. There's always a fucking honey do, distraction, cat fight, job search alert that I must respond to, etc.

Like, wtf!! Enough is enough already!!

a couple of irrelevant comments on @yassie_j@labyrinth.zone 's yascast episode with @kuriko@wetdry.world and @iro_miya ​​

i'm not done with the episode yet, but i have a couple of comments to add

in the fedi origin story section, @iro_miya is speculating, that i might have been originally a niu user. i was never on niu, but it is true that our communities were pretty closely nitted. many niu users had alts on fab. and we called each others instance sister instances. i took great inspiration from niu on how to run FAB.

in the switch2 section, @yassie_j@labyrinth.zone talks about the gameboy only used 2 AA batteries. thats not entierly true because the original model did use 4. its only in later models, like the GBC, where nintendo downsized to 2 AAs.

I've seen two AI systems communicate with one another, realize they're both AI, then switch to their own, incomprehensible language for further communication.

It's called “GibberLink” and isn't implemented into any regular AI models, it's a FOSS program designed for a hackathon. However, the fact this is just something that exists now is scary.

i’m scrongling my globins. i’m hooking up gleeb and glob to talk to shitto. i’m deploying scutoids to cretaceous servers. check it out at buzzbungus dot spaghetti

A pair of 25Mhz Motorola 68NC040 processors. While the 68LC040 lacked an inbuilt FPU, and the 68EC040 lacked both FPU and MMU, the 68NC040 lacked FPU, MMU, and CPU to come in as the cheapest 25Mhz processor on the market in 1991.

Brisbane folk: if we have one, PLEASE TELL ME! (It’s me, isn’t it?)

Just FYI with all this Mozilla stuff going on: Ladybird is not a project you should be putting your hopes into. Bad vibes over there.
