The U.S. has formed a $1 billion partnership with Advanced Micro Devices to construct two supercomputers that will tackle large scientific problems ranging from nuclear power to cancer treatments to national security. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/10/28/tech/us-energy-supercomputer-ai-amd/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #tech #us #computers #quantumcomputers #ai #amd #tech #semiconductors

Look, my VM computes! I wrote a simple program to first initialize the accumulator to the value 15, then repeatedly increment the accumulator forever.

I don't have an assembler yet, but I *did* write a python script which lets me create a file with the bits I want more easily... With an ISA as simple as mine, that's almost as good as an assembler

I also made my repository public: https://github.com/mortie/scisa

When I was first getting into #computers you didn't need to ask #microsoft permission to log in or ask #apple permission to install software. You didn't even have memory protection getting into the way of directly accessing every byte of ROM, RAM, and IO. Modern computers are nothing more than #dumbterminals connecting us to the #mammon machine.

This is “tagtype,” a keyboard designed explicitly for the Japanese language. A relic from 2004, now at MOMA indefinitely.

Japanese uses fifty syllabic characters that can be written on a matrix of ten consonants multiplied by five vowels. This is a Qwerty approach to that formula. It was also built for accessibility, in construction and use.

Designer: Kinya Tagawa.

The U.S. and China are scrambling to salvage a planned summit of their leaders, now just a week away, while trading blame for a spike in tensions. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/23/world/politics/xi-trump-summit-beijing-tension/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #us #donaldtrump #republicans #xijinping #china #tech #rareearths #computers #semiconductors #ai #trade

@jbz Yeah this is a good point about #IBM and counting people for #genocide that I think they used with #machines or #computers?

All tech is used against us, no matter how it's about #Cats and fun pictures too - the programmers and coders behind a lot are not doing the people work or caring for interacting with people (so you get Mastodon etc void of much social and just good for spreadnig #caturday pics and bad news... a real problem if not doing the positives...

So not doing the people-improvement / #trust building / real social interaction to get better ourselves... is not happening (where is it?)

(and not wait for rich people or spread their #shit using #Mastodon either).

#FreeSchool for real social ✊

I'm looking for the decent fish that can talk more than 5mins.
Do you even exist?

Treat your SAM Coupe to the newest incarnation of the 'Quazar Surround' soundcard! First launched back in 1995 (my first piece of SAM hardware) which gives SAM multichannel digital sound, with surround sound outputs. Bundled with introductory software on a set of floppy disks or as a SD card if you've my Trinity Ethernet Interface for mass storage.

ebay: http://ebay.co.uk/sch/quazar-sam-coupe-sales/m.html

For everything I do for the SAM Coupe see my main website at https://www.samcoupe.com for everything I do and latest news. Don't have a SAM but want to support what I do? Perhaps grab a keyring, badge or an issue of SAM Revival magazine to find out about this funky computer! (see quickshop link above for easy ordering in the UK)
