A chip8 interpreter was a project that a lot of interviewers liked on my resume a few years back, obviously this is a few (read: many) levels above that. Good work.

I’ve use an P51 for about a year now with no issues. I initially bought 6bay DAS, but I’ve since moved to pure SSD storage inside the laptop.

This was a fun read.

We’ll keep raising the amount of knowledge needed to be employed until it’s no longer sustainable. This is just the nature of capitalism: extracting as much value from someone’s salary as possible.

As a student who graduates this year, I notice that something like 90% of students seem to rely on LLMs.

I’ve seen some students toss in 5+ files of code into GPT just to prompt it over and over again, hoping it produces a desirable output. When it fails too many times they open a new chat and try again. I’ve heard conversations about the best way to prompt the AI to do our assignments for us.
