I am quite happy for anyone to use whatever tools they find to be good. I'm also happy for anyone to use jj with whatever server they want to.

It is right to be skeptical of me, but I hope to keep that integrity by continuing to talk about things that I believe are legitimately good, regardless of anything else.

Thanks for the reply Steve - I think it's only natural, and charitably unintentional :) But almost everything I've seen upvoted around the Internet from you has been about jj and being directly tied to east river source control... I think that's a reasonable framing. I can only hope me signalling this maybe changes something. While I'm not a fan of jj (I'd much rather Pijul were to eat the world), I think you as a person is really nice and always have been "for the community", but I can't shake this current framing!

I mean, most people seem to think I solely post about AI these days, so it’s kinda funny to run into someone that feels otherwise!

I’m not sure why I’d stop posting about a project I’ve been passionate about for years, just because my job is adjacent to it.

You can't say it's adjacent to it, when your job directly involves the technology. You'd stop posting because anything you say about jj could be interpreted as a sales pitch for jj, and a lot of people can be turned off by that. That's one reason. Our lack of creativity is not proof of no more.

But I don't think "stop writing" is the only strategy to jump on...

Or maybe I'm just extremely unlucky to have only caught these kinds of posts and gained this framing! Totally possible.

This tutorial predates his involvement with ERSC.

I'd much rather read "Dropping everything for self-sufficiency"

or the top 1% of value holders means your connection to other holders is vastly smaller than the other 99%. also highly likely to get cancer no matter who you are. i think the odds are better than people think, was just a matter of time

regardless of that observation: i am glad it's good people working with good people on these problems!

So this is a smudge of like 4 projects? Huh. Definitely interested, but I wonder about the longevity of the system. That's one thing about the code cad systems I like: it's pretty easy to port code from one to another.

If you use Google in any capacity, you already have.

and this is why i, personally, use searxng these days instead of google or duckduckgo

Sibil attack in 3...2...1....

I don't think there's anything recent here, they are just pre-computing a normal map which doubles as already "baking" a 3D-looking image in.

Was there anything of that sort made during the gbc era on this hardware ? I thought nobody ever attempted it before

Not exactly this, but many "3D games" were pre-computed scenes. The normal map is the novel bit of this demo.

Ok, and at the time, was anybody even thinking about computing normal maps this way on such hardware ? that was my original though, "maybe" this is the result of applying more recent ideas for this group to hardware that wasn't made to support it. But maybe i'm wrong and people did try.

These are starting to become daily horoscopes

The RP2XXX microcontrollers are so incredible in terms of what it's opened to hobbyists. I hope microcontroller-based computers become a thing.

It's more a matter of exposing hobbyists of one vertical to what exists in another. Low-power RISC microcontrollers and microprocessors were superseded in popularity by the ease of a Raspberry Pi SBCs running Linux, that could act as a host to its own development.

Now that Raspberry Pi has entered the market, hobbyists that were only familiar with SBCs are now being introduced to the flexibility of Low-power RISC microcontrollers and microprocessors.

There's also some new products on the market that are the best of both worlds, with the system-in-package form factors and easy bare-metal development of the RP2XXX line, that still have the ability to run full Linux, like the Bouffalo Labs BL808 and the Sophgo SG2000. Check out the Ox64 from Pine64 (https://pine64.com/product/128mb-ox64-sbc-available-on-decem...) or the Duo series from MilkV (https://milkv.io/duo) for breakout boards and development boards.

Agreed. The price point and PIOs really open a lot of possibilities, especially with the amazing tooling that is available.
