There is active research in this area (especially non-transformer
based models). Just one example: thousandbrains.org

This reminded me of the early 80's when defence s/w was forcing us to move from C to Ada and there was a consequent backlash in the other direction. I remember hearing the phrase "strong typing is a crutch for people with weak memories" shouted loudly.

My cat, Fraxi, lying down in the autumn leaves with her fluffy white belly in the air. A leaf has just landed on her and she's oblivious.

Well, someone's enjoying the sunshine :)

It's horses for courses, === is a useful thing to have in a weakly-typed language. Once you know why it's there it becomes a tool just like any other. btw, even after s/w engineering for 40+ years I've yet to come across the perfect language.

When I look at a robotic approximation of an animated face, I look at the blink first, and it's always wrong. Humans don't blink just using up and down motion of their eyelids. There is a sideways motion as the muscles contract towards the nose.

I was blown away by both of these, so impossible to decide.
I've tinkered with a few of your models on ShaderToy in the past, but I can't even see how you started this one.

Or you could try chatting with a LLM. Discourse is what they were intended for rather than world domination.

Even when new, the case was full of chips.

I'll get my coat ..

😂 There wouldn't have been enough metal in the world.

RX 5600 XTs? I guess from the use of a pressure washer, these guys are just going to sell these for reclaimed metals.

Printed Circuit Board mostly covered in transparent rubber, but with some crudely removed so that I could remove a component.

Washing machine gave up a few days ago. The BLDC Motor controller was to blame - 20 days and £160 for a full replacement, so decided to repair.

Getting the thing out and removing the 3mm conformal coating on both sides of the PCB for diagnosing and H-Bridge replacement made me wish I hadn't.

I'm just a simple man, but it reads as though they're getting energy from fresh water moving to salty water, just a short distance away from a plant putting energy into moving fresh water out of salty water.

Your trees have style

One of my RPi4s is still going strong as a home intranet and file server, although there is an RPi5 waiting impatiently on the sideline.

Duchamp 😂

A weather-proof box shown open. It contains an MF286D 4G router, a barebones 2.4/5Ghz WiFi router, a Raspberry Pi 4 server and various power conditioning and ADC PCBs.

I've been meaning to get this little lot together in one place for some time now.

I grew up on these streets

'Generative AI' is nowhere near distinct enough to use as a pejorative term. My own research is in generative mechanisms that enable patterns to be found in the large datasets posited by the OP.

If you want specific terms use the company names that are pushing the junk you're referring to instead.

These images still give me nightmares. As a noob, fingers reaching under the HT insulator to decouple the spring wire without discharging first ...

That last sentence is key. We all have a limited time on this Earth. The value of handmade is represented by the value of life itself.

What an eye-opening thread.

Use the /d switch

What’s common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders?

Some computer Flash Memory relies on electrons 'magically' transporting from one side of an insulator to another via quantum tunnelling.

This looks like a problem with the sprite tile data, held in VRAM/OAM.

I believe OAM is internal to the 1Chip, but according to the slightly older version schematic below, the VRAM is the static 62256 devices in U4 and U5. These would be my 1st port of call.

Controlled anarchy?

You could say the same about a necktie. I mean, it's a massive arrow.

Letter frequency, starting with the two letter words (which I guess is where my mistake was) then likelihood of words in a self-contained phrase that weren't discounted by the cypher pattern. Nice distraction over a cup of coffee!

Does the cypher contain a mistake?

The best I can come up with is "Wherever you go, by happy my dear friend".

Good fun, thanks!
