If you zoom in on the line above, and I mean really zoom in you will see a violin small enough to express my level of sympathy.

One feels there is an allegory for "too stupid to be afraid" buried in here.

The U.S. just pledged hundreds of billions to protect its AI leadership. A Chinese startup with a ‘joke of a budget‘ may have already undercut those hopes in c/[email protected]

As a mathematician who has worked in tech, this I am very much aware of XD

"Necessity is the mother of invention."

What you're likely seeing here is innovation similar to the early tech sector. The hardware limitation (no Nvidia chips) means different (usually more complex) solutions are needed.

These solutions usually require a deep understanding of a specific area of mathematics, and expertise in coding. The person making it normally has to be heavily invested, since it still eats a lot of hours.

I often joke, the mathematician who finds a faster algorithm for matrix operations is sitting on a billion dollar idea.

Time to get your ducks in a row - make sure your name is on everything, remove hers where reasonable, get a solid log of your contribution to shared assets (house, car, etc), archive and copy that screenshot, and possibly go see a pro-bono lawyer for an initial consultation.

I'm not suggesting "divorce", I'm suggesting "use this time to prep for a lower trust environment to help you process so you can decide how you want to move forward rather than being moved forward by someone else's decision".

"To protect the children", ah yes, an argument with no basis in reality.

I dunno, there is a fair bit of coincidence there, far more so than anything save the extreme end of a probability curve would suggest.

We've received word that we're migrating from the older version of Blackboard to the new, "student approved", Blackboard Ultra.

We'll be migrating our courses by hand over the summer; how bad is this going to be?

Wyrd Sisters - Animation (www.youtube.com)
 

A few years ago I stumbled onto this, and it provided a nice afternoon feature film. Figured the folks here would enjoy it!

Might and Magic (Merged) (www.celestialheavens.com)
 

Truly a test of patience - this is an excellent modpack that unifies 3 classics together into the way I dreamed of playing them as a kid.

Found it by accident a week ago, and it's been my short nightly unwind (trying to do a solo run because I always wanted to).

Open Source Emulators (github.com)
 

Thought I'd share this list as it contains many emus I've not heard of before and I'd love to hear people's reviews on any folks have tried.

Puppy Linux UEFI (alternatives?) (lemmy.world)
 

So, in the past, I used to make a bit of money fixing up comps for folks.

With slightly trickier cases, I used to boot up puppy Linux to check the more essential hardwares (and if it booted, back up essential files for the customer). My students are now asking how to manage similar things.

Alas, puppy is no good for a modern system, as it really does not like UEFI boot. I was wondering if anyone can recommend an alternative.

I'm looking for a very lightweight gui os I that can run some hardware diagnostic tools, runs on a wide range of hardware, that is easy enough to set up on a pen for novice users.

KGen98 - Emulation is DOS (segaretro.org)

So, kgen98 was one of the first genesis emulators, and it runs on dos.

I use it in one of my ICT classes (paired with a sonic 1 rom) on a floppy disk to demonstrate just how heavily compressed and optimised older games were.

It's an oddball that is definitely worth trying out.

Gbstudio (www.gbstudio.dev)
 

A handy tool for developing vn style games for the Gameboy and Gameboy colour.

Great for people starting a game dev journey.

Mednafen - A lightweight emu suite (mednafen.github.io)
 

Mednafen is worth a go if you're looking for a lightweight set of emulators to run your dumped carts.

Discworld MUD (discworld.starturtle.net)
 

Thought I'd post this up here since I've not seen it mentioned. For those who want to explore the world of discworld, this is a great MUD.

Very friendly community when I hop on every few months, and with a lot of rich detail from the books.
