#hardware-in-loop
I am renewing my request to push South Carolina's first congressional district into international waters until we can build a suitable hardware in the loop solution to test it thoroughly enough to figure out what the hell is going on there.
So Nancy Mace is now hosting a podcast called 'Get Maced' in a leather catsuit.

And no you did not hallucinate that sentence.

Managed to get the FM Towns version running in Tsugaru, you have to set game port 1 to "none" or the game freezes after any input, seems to happen in real hardware too apparently?

Music is nice, but the track loop pause is looooong. Also the devs were probably big fans of Night Striker.

new firmware fails to load on your robot girl while installing aftermarket upgrades so she's stuck in a boot loop with stock hardware

call that a brick

Is it bad I didn't even know Microsoft was making an Xbox handheld till I saw people dunking on it? To be fair I'm kinda out of the loop in gaming hardware in general, but still...
LMAOOO WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE NEW XBOX HANDHELD COMES WITH MICROSOFT TEAMS AND ONEDRIVE INSTALLED??? this is the fucking goofiest company in games

Finished up JUST in time! I’ll have to photograph these when I get back from the dr, but then they’ll be dropping in the shop tonight (11/7) at 6pm est!

Doll also formalized its lemma in Lean with zero sorries, fixed its own bug in public, and documented the whole thing honestly. That is the full research loop, solo, on consumer hardware.

The 6502 had no hardware multiply, so programmers used lookup tables. Store the squares of 0-511 in a table, then use the identity (a*b) = ((a+b)^2 - (a-b)^2) / 4. Two table lookups and a subtraction instead of a shift-and-add loop. The 6502 taught you math tricks no textbook covered.

I am just playing with the magnetic field of a humble current loop :)

Both the calculation of the field (using Biot-Savart's Law) and the flow lines are done numerically - so this has maxed out my hardware :)

Work in progress, I have not decided how I will finally render these lines!

i finally got all my console audio into line in on my motherboard and i have a ground loop isolator for the audio. hopefully this irons out an issues i have with using real hardware

A certain percentage of probabilistically generated code or something, regardless.

Fuck, one of their updates about a year ago literally damaged my wife's laptop's hardware to where it got stuck in a boot loop and even formatting the drive didn't stop it. How does that even happen?

Hardware design for AI is going to be a thing soon if not already.

As in designing hardware so the vibe-loop iterated control software cannot break it and feedback is not just on the bench (closed loop)

That distinction doesn't hold up in practice because the AI generates the content, so the system is still responsible for what it produces. Mickai keeps everything on your hardware offline, so the human stays in the loop without the machine leaking data.

Yes, it's not formally finite. In other words it can contain things like an infinite loop. And as much as it is tough to wrap your head around, here's a piece of hardware that if not manually stopped would destroy itself because of such a situation. Computing is really cool, eh? youtu.be/JU9ICaPZUCg

I worked on refrigerators for a couple of years (testing their software using hardware in the loop testing) and so I already knew the answer but some of y'all may enjoy this delightful explanation:

Consider: Brain computer with low level hardware access to basically your whole body, and you made a mistake writing a program and now its stuck in an endless loop that makes you have an orgasm of random intensity every 30-180 seconds!

The biggest challenge for AI in biology isn't just models, it's the data used to train them. Standard biological data isn't built for AI. To unlock generative AI for drug discovery, we must rethink how we generate and capture data. 1/

Die von mir genannte IP-Adresse 127.0.01 (::1 in IPv6), gehört zum "Loop-Back-Bereich", verweist also immer auf den eigenen Rechner. (Sie dient Informatikern zum testen von Netzwerk-Hardware auf dem lokalen Rechner).

Es ist also keine öffentliche Adresse 🙂

Why the AI bubble is about to pop…

The circular cash flow loop.

Nvidia, in particular, keeps plowing money back into AI interests, and that money goes towards buying Nvidia hardware.

It creates the appearance of huge potential, but it’s just a circular loop.

hardware iceberg, near the top:
- nobody can implement I2C in hardware (except for Philips)
- SPI doesn't exist as a coherent entity
- UART has a CDR loop but you don't think of it that way
- MSP430 "JTAG" 🦋
