Good news: I’m writing another book!

Data centers have been a big part of the discourse over the past few years. I’ll be digging into why there are so many being built right now and the broader impacts they’re having. But also: do we really need this much compute?

Just donated to @peertube.

If you'd like PeerTube the ability to livestream and have the means, please donate to their fundraising campaign as well.

The campaign is running for another 33hrs, but I'm sure @Framasoft doesn't mind if you continue to support them with donations after this period :)

[What if OutRun] — released for the Game Boy Color.

OutRun was released in 1986 by Sega in the Arcades, with later ports to systems such as the Amstrad, Amiga and many others.... Just not the Game Boy Colour! So to change all that here's [Rocketship Park's] latest project, which not only looks super cool, it runs and sounds almost like the original game.

rocketshippark.itch.io/what-if

#outrun #gameboy #color #retro #gaming #engineer #artist #media #tech #programming #art #news

And here's the full details from the website. "The Game Boy never got a version of OutRun back in the 80s. During development of a recent Game Boy game (Hero GP) I wondered if I could fix that and what would it look like? This is the answer to that question. What we have here is a demo/prototype what if. You can play it right here on the page or download the ROM for an Emulator, a real Game Boy Color, or an Analogue Pocket, have fun"
[ImageSource: Rocketship Park] Rocketship Park said: „PLEASE remember this is a ‘what if’ scenario. You’re playing a DEMO/PROTOTYPE of a Game Boy game. With SEGA's permission I’d love to make the full game someday.“ Controls on Game Boy Color / Analogue Pocket: • left and right - steer • A - accelerate „NOTE: The emulator on this web page uses Z for Accelerate.“

@mobidic @jk 👍 Wow, Holger Gehrmann and Karsten Obarski, more pleasant flashbacks! Karsten's Soundtracker was a revolution in Amiga music editing.

I was part of three-guy Amiga development team myself. We created two music editors, SIDmon and Digital Mugician, and a range of Amiga games:

RP2040 — POV Display

Sometimes, a flat display just won’t cut it. If you’re looking for something a little rounder, perhaps your vision could persist in in looking at [lhm0]’s rotating LED sphere RP2040 POV display. As you might have guessed from that title, this display uses an RP2040 microcontroller as its beating [or spinning, rather] heart.

[ImageSource: lhm0] This persistence-of-vision display uses an RP2040 microcontroller as its beating heart. An optional ESP01 provides a web interface for control. <https://youtu.be/TCV0LSV6ubA> Since the whole assembly is rotating at high RPM, rather than slot in dev boards [like Pi Pico] as is often seen, [lhm0] has made custom PCBs to hold the actual SMD chips. Power is wireless, because who wants to deal with slip rings when they do not have to? [lhm0] has also bucked the current trend for individually-addressable LEDs, opting instead to address individual through-hole RGB LEDs via a 24-bit shift-register. Through the clever use of interlacing, those 64 LEDs produce a 128 line display.
[ImageSource: lhm0] The LED-bending jig is a neat hack-within-a-hack. [lhm0] designed and printed an LED-bending jig to aid mounting the through-hole LEDs to the board at a perfect 90 degree angle.

For shits and giggles, I queried ChatGPT and asked it to predict which #AI startups would fail by 2026.

Its response is quite interesting. Make of it what you will:

Amazon Prime Video has doubled the running time of commercials it shows to subscribers since it launched ads, according to research from AdWeek. Viewers who don't subscribe to the platform's ad-free tier are now seeing up to six minutes per hour for a minimum $9/month fee. Even so, Amazon is still not considered to be in the highest tier of ad frequency. Most streamers sit at around five minutes an hour, while traditional linear TV is showing a whopping 13 to 16 minutes an hour. Here's more from @arstechnica.

I guess some administrivia will have to wait as the campus "Box" is having an outage. Yea, put it all online, we can access it together. . . until we can't and work grinds to a halt.

At least I managed to get most of it done before it went down.

But I am just a peon. . .

"The bottom line from Apple’s research is stark: we’re not witnessing the birth of AI reasoning.

We’re seeing the limits of very expensive autocomplete that breaks when it matters most."

Damning proof from Apple researchers that the hype from big tech surrounding #AI is an expensive illusion.
