ENGLISHMAN, THIS IS YOUR MISSION NOW

#WORLDCUP #ARGENTINA #ENGLAND

When you eat something, try to make it healthy.

I would say that this was a very enjoyable ~week of hacking: https://github.com/jwise/ftdeez

This emulates most of the real time logic of a FTDI FT2232H in gateware on a @whitequark / @1bitsquared #GlasgowInterfaceExplorer, and and then exposes the USB side of it using my own implementation of USB/IP in Python. It seems to work well enough that a real FTDI tty driver can talk to it and use it as a UART, or even that pyftdi can use it to talk to I2C peripherals.

One thing I will say about it is that it was really nice to spend a week writing code that did not have to be good, because it never was going to be good, because the very idea of it was completely cursed and indefensible. It was very freeing to get back to the roots of being able to Just Try Doing Shit, just at a week-long scale rather than an evening-long scale. (Surprisingly, this came out to only ~2400 lines of code for a USB/IP implementation, a USB implementation, a FT2232H implementation, and the gateware in Amaranth! But it still feels like a lot of code for Just Doing Shit.) I highly recommend Just Doing Shit. It is a lot of fun, especially if all you do normally is Carefully Build Things.

@mekkaokereke @jdp23 Yeah I just got through reading that whole thing, wild

Not that I want to encourage Trained #MOLE use, but ...

What about a more centauric approach? Rather than letting the MOLE write the code, we get it to describe potential solutions to a problem *without* using code to do so? Then if it comes up with anything genuinely useful, the human codes it. Like Rubber Duck Debugging, but with a MOLE instead of a duck.

Let's go...

PKD basically describing AI slop videos on YouTube:

“You insert one of the Great Books, for instance Moby Dick, into the reservoid. Then you set the controls for long or short. Then for funny version, or same-as-book or sad version. Then you set the style-indicator as to which classic Great Artist you want the book animated like. Dali, Bacon, Picasso… the medium-priced Great Books animator is set up to render in cartoon form the styles of a dozen system-famous artists; you specify which ones you want when you originally buy the thing. And there are options you can add later that provide even more.”

I was not expecting my soldering to draw a crowd. But as I worked, a half-dozen people gathered around the table, watching me work. Other volunteers, the organizers, people whose devices had already been seen and wanted to see what soldering involved.

When I was done, a few people were asking me questions about technique, my tools, where did I learn to do it.

I am *not* accustomed to this sort of interest in soldering. I relayed all this to my family at dinner, and my kids found it confusing.

@ben As I keep saying, Gov Andy should start McConnell’s senate seat appointment on the assumption he is dead. Let the GOP PROVE he is not, in court. #nothingtolose

there's still a part of my brain that doesn't believe they turned javascript into a general purpose language. like javascript goes in the browser

We forget just how many lives #COVID19 took from us. I was just watching a video about the movie “That Thing You Do” (a favorite of mine), and the guy who wrote the famous song died of COVID complications in April 2020. Adam Schlesinger not only wrote That Thing You Do, but he was also a founding member of several bands (including Fountains of Wayne).

Every time I hear someone say we “overreacted,” I wonder how short their memory was of how many we lost, particularly in 2020 to 2023.

the thing i don't understand about individual vibe-coders working with a personal account is: why are you spending all this time developing work habits with a tool that will absolutely be taken away from you at some point??? there is **zero** chance the subscription model is going to continue to exist. they must know this.
