The ddx3216 uses a 64k x 8bit rom-chip. the reset-vector has to be placed at 0xffff0 to make it compatible with the new cpu-cpecifications. so i searched for better solutions and found the picorom and onerom projects - and how to use them!... and if you have any questions, feel free to contact me :
UI should be polished and consistent, with every frame mattering to build trust with users. A well-designed UI should look good in all states, not just start and end.
Exif is a metadata format that stores image information like orientation, timestamp, and camera settings, and it's usually found in JPEG files near the beginning in an APP1 marker segment. Exif is optional and can be stripped, but it's often used by photo apps, websites, and asset-management systems to sort, search, and display images.
Three ways to do AI coding at home without company spending are self-hosting, renting open source models, and blending frontier subscriptions with API rates. The best approach is a mix of expensive models for planning and cheap ones for filling in details.
The Intel 8087 floating-point coprocessor uses a 69-bit adder to perform arithmetic operations, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and square root. The adder is divided into blocks of four bits, each using a Manchester carry chain and a carry-skip circuit to optimize performance.
Researchers at UC San Diego are building a 2,000-phone computing cluster to reduce carbon emissions from computing. The cluster will provide low-cost, low-carbon cloud computing for researchers and students, reducing the need for newly-manufactured hardware.
Orthodox C++ is a minimal subset of C++ that avoids unnecessary modern features for simplicity and portability. It uses C-like code and avoids complex features like exceptions, STL, and metaprogramming for easier understanding and maintenance.
A frontend ticket was incorrectly assigned to the user, who had to explain to the design team that the issue with Arabic text rendering was due to the lack of shaping engines in the web, not a bug in the stylesheet. The user then went on to explain the history of Arabic typography, the importance of shaping engines, and the challenges of rendering Arabic text on the web, including the use of ...

The Radxa MilkV Jupiter 2 is a RISC-V SBC with 16 cores, 32GB RAM, and a PowerVR GPU, offering a smooth first boot experience and decent performance for general-purpose tasks. However, its AI capabilities are limited by memory bandwidth and can only handle small models, but it's still a promising platform for RISC-V development.
Paca is a self-hosted project management platform that enables AI agents and humans to collaborate as equal teammates in a Scrum team. It offers a configurable and extendable workflow, data model, and UI via plugins.
The US government has issued a directive to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 due to a potential jailbreak method, citing national security concerns. Anthropic is complying with the directive but disagrees with the decision, stating it's a misunderstanding and is working to restore access as soon as possible.
The map visualizes EDCS inscriptions with extracted personal names, allowing zooming and filtering by name, province, or date. Name extraction is 80-85% accurate, with errors that can be reported using the Flag this entry button.
Kira Boyko is the Product Director of Intel Xeon 6+, defining product features based on market requirements and customer needs. She discussed AET (Intel Application Energy Telemetry) and its benefits for tracking energy usage at a hardware core level.
The user shares their fascination with a unique scientific discovery about deer antlers, which exhibit a phenomenon called trophic memory, where an injury to the antler is remembered and reflected in the growth of the next year's antler. This discovery has implications for regenerative medicine and challenges the common idea that mammals cannot regenerate complex structures in adulthood.
Several Rust GUI frameworks exist, including Azul, CXX-Qt, Leptos, and Ribir, offering various features and performance. These frameworks aim to provide fast, cross-platform, and native GUI development for desktop, web, and mobile applications.
Arch Linux's AUR repository saw over 1,500 user-contributed packages compromised with malware. Developers have deleted all known malicious commits, but some affected packages may still exist.
A new PwC report suggests AI is increasing healthcare costs by 9% by 2027, mainly due to AI note-taking tools documenting more specifics to justify higher billing codes. This results in higher medical bills despite no change in patient care.
The user shares their experience with Claude Code, an AI-assisted development tool, and how they evolved their workflow to automate tasks, delegate thinking, and improve productivity. They emphasize the importance of understanding the limitations of AI and not delegating thinking, highlighting the need for human oversight and review to maintain code quality and prevent technical debt.
Recent engineering graduates face a 6.1% unemployment rate, but underemployment is low at below 20%. Engineers rank among the top fields for overall labor market outcomes despite a mismatch between job postings and actual hiring.
