This is what I do while waiting for rider to load

kindred loom
#

With ya

noble plaza
#

@kindred loom So my thesis was an electronic peripheral emulation project. Your microcontroller -> (Bridge) -> (Web App)

#

I didn't do the READMEs yet but

#

I wanted it to be like BP too actually, initially. Would let you daisy chain peripherals and all, but didn't get to that

kindred loom
#

So like emulating a circuit board ?!

noble plaza
#

Sort of, but with individual components. Like you could see and interact with peripherals like a seven segment display, servo motor, and an ultrasonic sensor

kindred loom
#

So that you can design and test an electronic system but before having to use any physical components

noble plaza
#

Yeah exactly, EG online learning for university students who don't have access to labs was one big use case

kindred loom
#

Man, That's a great Project !

#

What language did you use

noble plaza
#

My supervisor was talking about continuing work on that through other students, hope it continues!

C++ for Bridge (https://github.com/sk0g/peripheral-emulator-bridge)
JS + Svelte for Web App (https://github.com/sk0g/peripheral-emulator-web-app)

GitHub

Pico C++ "Bridge" for microcontroller-web app communication - GitHub - sk0g/peripheral-emulator-bridge: Pico C++ "Bridge" for microcontroller-web app communication

GitHub

Svelte-based web app for emulating electronic peripheral devices - GitHub - sk0g/peripheral-emulator-web-app: Svelte-based web app for emulating electronic peripheral devices

I really need to add READMEs eventually

nice job

noble plaza
#

Oh fair, yeah yikes that would be rough haha. At least I only wrote it once...

kindred loom
#

It's still a lot of work you've done !

#

I'm just aiming to develop a new solution that fixes a lot of the problems with programming in general.

noble plaza
#

Big goal! What's your next step, just flesh this out further?

#

I wonder how your thing works with types though, considering different languages handle types so differently

kindred loom
kindred loom
kindred loom
noble plaza
#

How do you deal with differing, specific types per language? Like one might just have number, another int, another int32_u or int32_t, etc.

pearl elk
#

Types are overrated

#

We spend all this effort trying to work around strict types so why implement em to begin with

noble plaza
#

No types are great. You just only need one - the string. - DB designers/ Perl folk

pearl elk
#

Computers are better at math and knowing what the differeing instruction sets are so let them do the work, its why we invented the things to begin with πŸ˜‚

fathom wadi
#

actionscript 2.0 let you have variable types. So you could have an integer, and use it as string etc. You could do lots of crazy things but you had to do error checking or things would break

kindred loom
pearl elk
#

Cypher: Well you have to. The image translators work for the construct program.

deep copper
fathom wadi
foggy path
#

I think at some point ActionScript basically became a straight up variant of ECMAScript

#

(eg. JavaScript)

fathom wadi
#

yeah with as3.0

foggy path
#

AS2 was definitely pretty close to it, AS3 maybe even more so although it added optional strong typing and some other stuff

#

the modern JS class syntax is sorta similar to AS3 classes, although I'm not sure if AS3 classes were similar syntax sugar on prototypes or actual classes

deep copper
#

as long as it works i guess

fathom wadi
#

most of as3.0 was written as classes, and they introduced a document root class which all other classes inherited down from

#

you could still write as3.0 on the keyframe though without classes, but it was the rudimentaries like mc.Stop(); etc

Coding is pain πŸ™‚ That's why I chose to do it for a career, obvs

you can atleast flex your fast typing skills infront of kids

carmine frigate
#

coding has nothing to do with type speed πŸ˜›

noble plaza
#

I peaked way back, in my RS days. If anything I type slower. IDE auto-complete + most time being spent thinking or communicating anyway

#

... or waiting for compilation/ test suites

I actually barely ever copy paste from Stack Overflow, unlike the memes. Do look at how other people solved it, but always re-do it so I know WTF I'm committing

pearl elk
#

Who uses discord on their PC... eww

carmine frigate
#

nah u copy paste from the lines above

deep copper
#

i mean, i always have to rewrite parts of copied code to fit whatever i am doing, only small helper functions fit in as is

pearl elk
#

What if there were only a finite amount of possible functions you could write

carmine frigate
#

there is

#

someday ur function writing is over

deep copper
#

does assembly have functions? πŸ€”

noble plaza
deep copper
#

or it's all only goto

#

oh nice

noble plaza
#

StackOverflow copy-paste:

func:
    xor eax, eax
    mov eax, 10
    add eax, 5
    ret ;// essentially identical to: pop [register] -> jmp [register]
pearl elk

Goto LastFunctionI'llEverWrite

deep copper
noble plaza
#

GitHub Copilot then

deep copper
#

it's short but hard to read without knowing what's what

#

πŸ˜…

noble plaza
#

They're actually CPU registers, e{register}x, basically hardware variables

#

Depending on your ASM flavour, there will be lots of these, some serving specific purposes

#

Well, lots normally means like 10-20 general purpose ones

deep copper
#

ah, so it's comparing register values, moving values (? updating) and adding to them πŸ€”

deep copper
noble plaza
#

Why what?

deep copper
#

i am guessing it's probably just for demonstration purposes then

noble plaza
#

Just a snippet demonstrating availability of functions in ASM. Hopefully not making it into any one's hot loop

#

I'd think true deluxe is mini-ASM within Python, like the Raspberry PICO PIO

@rp2.asm_pio(sideset_init=rp2.PIO.OUT_LOW, out_shiftdir=rp2.PIO.SHIFT_LEFT, autopull=True, pull_thresh=24)
def ws2812():
    T1 = 2
    T2 = 5
    T3 = 3
    wrap_target()
    label("bitloop")
    out(x, 1)               .side(0)    [T3 - 1]
    jmp(not_x, "do_zero")   .side(1)    [T1 - 1]
    jmp("bitloop")          .side(1)    [T2 - 1]
    label("do_zero")
    nop()                   .side(0)    [T2 - 1]
    wrap()
#

Performance - the PIO is essentially an embedded MCU within the MCU, and can run instructions independently. People have built things like VGA drivers with it, and you get to have a main program running as well.

So Im confused is AI NFTs nfts or crypto

pearl elk
#

But if youre generating an image then its mining right

#

Just not mining hash youre mining art

zinc matrix
#

mhm

#

true

#

kind of

celest musk
#

so even if you subscribe to midjourny you can't use it in commercial work?

zinc matrix
#

you can

celest musk
#

so i could subscribe and make textures for lets say ingame posters/images

pearl elk
#

Theres so many midjourney pics around you could just use someone elses gens lol

celest musk
#

yea but the pro of a subscription is that you can just let it render some stuff, instead of searching through all the existing artwork

#

and you got something more or less unique

pearl elk
#

Concept of ownership is def gonna be tested going forward

zinc matrix
#

you have proof that you had the image first on your midjourney page

pearl elk
#

But the AI created it and they dont have any ownership rights, its been tested in IP law already lol

#

Id say MidJourney transfer ownership rights but still pretty grey for actual case law

zinc matrix
#

yeah

#

you can edit picture or use certain parts of it to create new pictures

#

same as using copyrighted pictures and making art with them

#

just throw a sticker or destroy them with color

pearl elk
#

What if MidJourney plagiarised someone elses work without knowing hehe

#

The AI itself cant be liable

#

Any likeness is purely coincidental

zinc matrix
#

exactly

#

people on etsy straight up sell printed portraits lol

pearl elk
#

Yup, makes you wonder if they might give up on trying to protect things at some point. AI will be able to remove water marks

zinc matrix

you can add watermarks with ai πŸ˜„

atleast when you generate pictures it add's

AI copyright wars

it will drive art to perfection for sure

If you die you hand the controller over

My brother hated it cuz I could complete Super Mario without dying

he used to beat me at Goldeneye though

Goldeneye had SP too, he used to do speed runs

Hello! Does anyone know of a good text/video tutorial for creating Tower Defense from scratch? Or a free UE template of TD?

also I don't think my siblings were that kind of dumbasses either that they'd fall for it...

#

since there wasn't really that many years in age difference, I guess if they're significantly younger..

I vaguely recall there was some kind of tower defense template or something, an official one πŸ€”

#

or maybe they talked about something like that in one of the official ue vids... because I definitely remember seeing something like that...

it does say it's outdated, but you could probably still more or less follow how it works to make your own

how hard would yall think it'd be to make a death note simulator game? like you have it and you can kill anyone you have the name of and the picture of and you can put their cause of death. and supposing you do it in such a way to make it seem like something is causing this, like Light does, you get super detective after you. clearly a shit ton of work, was just thinking about it since there are no good death note games that i know of

fleet tangle

Tsugumi Ohba might just write the name of your game in his book.

fleet tangle
#

"Murder post-it"

celest musk
#

having a bunch of NPCs so tightly integrated into your game plot is probably the hardest part

fleet tangle
#

Indeed. Plot is hard.

celest musk
#

yea, specially as this sounds like it should be dynamic instead of linear

foggy path
#

It's an interesting idea

#

You could somewhat reduce the craziness of the scope by being smart about how the player can gain information they need, and limit the options on how someone can die

#

obviously it'll be less cool if the player feels like they can't do what they want but if it's super freeform it's also super complicated

#

since the world would need to react believably at each step

#

assuming you actually have some kind of overarching story, if no then you could certainly have some kind of procedural system for it but I don't know what would be the reason to play the game then

How is c++ better than c# if c# has 4 +'s while c++ only has 2 +'s

Explain that

fleet tangle
#

It's signed 5bit, so C++ goes to E, but C# with its 4 +s goes to -1

noble plaza
#

In musical terms the note after C (C++), as well as C# would both be C#. For real progress, you want D. Or F#.

fleet tangle
#

C# is D

#

Was C one of the ones without a semi-tone?

noble plaza
#

C# is C#? Or D(flat)

#

Nope, B and E do not have sharps, the rest do

fleet tangle
#

Damn.

#

Well, either way, c++ could be D, whereas c# would be c.5

#

Sharp is only half a tone, after all.

noble plaza
#

Hmm true, for piano players half steps are a physically distinct thing, but in guitars it's just frets, half or full steps are not physically represented on the instrument

fleet tangle
#

It's not about the instrument, it's about the difference in pitch!

#

2^(1/12)

noble plaza
#

You're supporting me then πŸ˜›

fleet tangle
#

Or something

#

Or would it be 1^(2/12)?!

noble plaza
#

Distance between C->C# is relatively equal to the distance between B->C

fleet tangle
#

But that's still only a semi-tone.

#

A "tone" is a ratio in frequencies.

quasi mantle
fleet tangle
#

Db!

#

2^(1/6) = tone, 2^(1/12) = semitone

noble plaza
#

In the chromatic scale, every interval is that power of 1/12. Whether it's a semi-tone or a full tone interval doesn't affect the interval

fleet tangle
#

On that chart, 1 interval is a semitone.

noble plaza
#

Not from E->F, or B->C as it's a looping table

noble plaza
#

Oh I get what you're saying SMH

#

my music theory is rusty. This is why I just play guitar. Press string, shake right hand. EZ

Going from E to F# is one "tone" (2 frets)

Yeah, it's one of those things on character design to avoid having "same face" while keeping art style consistent.

For example, just for the main lineup alone, Idolmaster has 13 unique idols, and each (except Futami twins) have distinct differences on the facial appearance aside from the hair, mainly on the eye contour, (sometimes) eyelash shape, the eyebrows, and even the mouth shape (e.g. more cheerful characters have wider grin)

it's so hard to make stuff different, have a personality, and at the same time stay super minimalistic

when they do this to online multiplayer, they should allow an official community ran, hosted and supported group to run an archive server. It really bugs me that they don't. Hellgate London and City of Heroes community servers did an excellent job and upkeep and it wasn't like they were sharing state secrets.

Ubisoft states that "Closing the online services for some older games allows us to focus our resources on delivering great experiences for players who are playing newer or more popular titles."
Never liked when old auth servers are shut down without hope of replacement, but this excuse is hard to believe.

Then again, maybe they programmed the game servers so that every profile is a 300 mb entry in a database that has to be in RAM 24/7. Which is about the limit of my imagination to explain how a game with client-side multiplayer could have a server that impacts AAA development costs.

I couldn't name an industry that does long term infrastructure planning that isn't also required to do it by regulation.

Plus, from the perspective of DRM, being non-functional without company authorization is a feature.
