Very useful. It would be great for the browser become the cross-platform application target. I've been eagerly waiting for Qt WebAssembly to mature.

This is the kind of thing that I feel is very nice and terrible at the same time. Yes it is convenient but it is also such a complex piece of software, it's sad that it is required to run gui apps. Ok, it may not be required yet per say, but I have mixed feelings about this direction.

Maybe not the browser per se, but a WASI runtime

Or both the browser and wasi. As I am doing with exaequOS

I think this kind of thing could be really useful for a project I'm building.

What is your project ?

I'll email you over the weekend

Looking at the complexity and area of hardware floating point, I often wonder why we don't see more unified combined integer+floating point units, like done in the R4200 [1], which reused most of the integer datapath while just adding a smaller extra smaller 12-bit datapath for the exponent.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R4200

The integer pipeline is often needed for address calculation near the same time as the floating point pipeline.

The R4200 FPU performance suffered for this reason.

If you use a tile-based hardware renderer, such as on the original nintendo chip, then pixels are rendered on the fly to the screen by the hardware automatically pulling pixels based on the tile map.

The '7660 is good for low-power and is my go-to DIP-8 part when I need a half or double voltage supply on a breadboard.

id Software should have just partnered with a heavy metal band that jointly released an album of Doom music you could put in your stereo while you play the game.

When we played Quake deathmatches at work, we'd stick the game CD in the workshop stereo and play the audio tracks through that.

That's what Sigil did with Buckethead, in a way.

I'd much rather invest one powerful machine that cand do work and games instead of two that take up extra space and generate more e-waste.

I still play on my ps2 ... because consoles are linked closely to the games of that generation I would guess that they are tech that are on relative terms least discarded

But how deal with security and DDoS?

To gauge.

Most look like they were done by a beginner programmer on crack, but every once in a while a correct one appears.

It's interesting how drawing a clock is one of the primary signals for dementia. https://www.verywellhealth.com/the-clock-drawing-test-98619

This is very interesting, thank you.

I could not get to the store because of the cookie banner that does not work (at left on mobile chrome and ff). The Internet Archive page: https://archive.ph/qz4ep

I wonder how this test could be modified for people that have neurological problems - my father's hands shake a lot but I would like to try the test on him (I do not have suspicions, just curious).

I passed it :)

"One variation of the test is to provide the person with a blank piece of paper and ask them to draw a clock showing 10 minutes after 11. The word "hands" is not used to avoid giving clues."

Hmm, ambiguity. I would be the smart ass that drew a digital clock for them, or a shaku-dokei.

DeepSeek and Kimi seem to have correct ones most of the time I've looked.

DeepSeek told me that it cannot generate pictures and suggested code (which is very different)

yes, and sometimes Grok.

The hour hand commonly seems off on Grok.

I'd say more like a blind programmer in the early stages of dementia. Able to write code, unable to form a mental image of what it would render as and can't see the final result.

If they can identify which one is correct, then it's the same as always being correct, just with an expensive compute budget.

Both infrastructures are made to last.
