A coupla things… 1. Looks like I’ll be doing something at Make Music #madison. So there’s that… 2. Still taking submissions for #dance works for MEDI’s Cycle 2 August 9th showing. Come see some cool stuff. I really want to meet someone who is a visual designer to have something for Feb. DM me.

I think my most used prompt is "that seems too complicated"

I'm finding these days I'm always reading at least 3 different books at once. I don't know if this is a shortage of attention, or just a desire for variety.

**JLink JTAG Access on the Pinecil** I've been doing more work on the Pinecil recently with Bouffalo Lab BL706 (SiFive E24 core complex) support landing upstream in Zephyr. I wrote a short post detailing how to use a JLink for JTAG access to the RISC-V debug unit. danielmangum.com/posts/jlink-...

This is the second time I've watched Colbert's last show live.

If you're at the RISC-V summit in Minneapolis, @danielmangum.com's talk tomorrow is a can't miss!

Dang, look at this fantastic sign above a camera shop on Wabash in Chicago

Pothole art? Seen from a crosswalk on Jackson and Dearborn in Chicago

Looking forward to @linuxfoundation.org #OSSummit this week! I’ll be giving a fun talk at the @riscvinternational.bsky.social Mini Summit on Thursday on connecting the Pinecil soldering iron to the internet using Zephyr and @canonicalltd.bsky.social / @golioth.io. Reach out to you’d like to chat!

Just finished an new E-Paper firmware SoC port🥳 The long hated Realtek RTL8762ESL and RTL8752HJL now got a fully featured ATC_RTL_BLE_OEPL Firmware and so have full OpenEpaperLink Support Released on GitHub: github.com/atc1441/ATC_...

Surely this image is insta-enough to land 1k new followers

Mike and I took a side quest from Madrid to Valencia to see the Tiny Tapeout master Matt Venn!

This is amazing. I call on Energizer to find a way to make this tech available to all manufacturers and for worldwide regulation to encourage adoption. These batteries are ubiquitous and child ingestion injuries far too common.

Apparently, Windex is magic. When cleaning the bathroom, a spritz of Windex activates the capacitive touch sensor on this soap dispenser.

I'm just absolutely gobsmacked.with an AI experience tonight. Trying to keep an open mind, I installed Gemini Live to have a conversation about NoFX. The AI cited a lyric from "Dinosaurs and Football". I went to look this up and asked about not finding it. The AI said oops, meant Dinosaurs Will Die.

Never been to an experimental dance performance before? MEDI Cycle 1: Now includes a post-show conversation with the artists — so audiences can ask questions and explore the ideas behind the work. #dance #madison Tix: medi.catmachinesdance.com/event/medi-c...

I am really trying to see all of this AI as a boon. It probably is, but I get really hung up on the level of babysitting. Just asked the AI to email me its results. Three corrections later, still no email. How hard is this task for it to complete?

How cool the Aerospace Village badge is! Can't wait for DEFCON this year!!! #aerospace #defcon #space #hacking #aerospacevillage @defcon.bsky.social

Excellent arcade standup at Hank's, the east side burger joint near my house.

Whomever made this prop art is incredible.

Interesting AI experiment. I had a book I remember reading but couldn't confirm the author or title. Even explaining in great depth some of the major plot points three times the LLM couldn't come up with it. After more deets and saying it certainly wasn't Matha Wells (love her work btw) it got it.

Man, PIO is so ridiculously OP.

It's amazing the havoc you can cause in C with a misplaced *

This is a one-day speedrun of resurrecting the MS-DOS (CSM legacy boot) patch I did for the Intel Galileo firmware. It boots, it runs Quake. Supports keyboard via BIOS calls, but needs SMM work for port PS/2 keyboard emulation (you can launch Quake, but you can't play it). github.com/ianhan/Galil...

Bonkers. We can do amazing things.

A life milestone, for I have (voluntarily) used a colorful Unicode character (is it an emoji?) in embedded logging for the first time:

Dude, why? I was in shorts literally two days ago.

Mbedtls needs a function called make_this_der_into_a_pem_without_making_me_do_extra_steps()

It’s absolutely incredible that one of the largest Japanese-run Go servers, which has been running since 1992, is still accessed entirely via Telnet. And while most players use GUI clients that use Telnet under the hood, you can still connect manually and get ASCII graphics streamed to you

I'm in the center of the NW quadrant. Been in the basement four five times this week as tornados and hail fall around us.

Incredible satellite imagery of the tornado outbreak underway across the central United States.

I appreciate Stuff Made Here so much. His videos are such a love letter to learning and engineering. Its such a breath of fresh air in the slop coding times we live in. Learning is great kids! youtu.be/2OfjZ3ORJfc

So this arrived today:

Hey Madison folks, come out to see a live performance by the Madison Experimental Incubator on May 3rd medi.catmachinesdance.com

**PSA Crypto: The P is for Portability** New post in which I provide an overview of the PSA Crypto API, describe how implementations differ across hardware ( e.g. @nordicsemi.com vs. Espressif), and look ahead to upcoming Post-Quantum Crypto on constrained devices. danielmangum.com/posts/psa-cr...

I'm not crying... You're crying! 😭😭😭

Sometimes you just need to laugh.

I couldn't breathe because I was laughing so hard. That bird's an asshole! 😂😂😂😂😂 Best with volume up.

Has anyone timed how long it takes to clone esp_wifi? I should have taken a coffee break.

If you need a little break from reality, I highly recommend Project Hail Mary. I loved the book so I am not unbiased, but this film transported me. There's depth, there's comedy, there's poinyancy. Go see it! m.imdb.com/title/tt1204...

"Early in the Covid-19 pandemic, the governor of New Jersey made an unusual admission: He’d run out of COBOL developers." We could have fostered engineering talent, or adopted a roadmap for software replacement. But instead, we did nothing for decades. Also, no, COBOL is not a carcinogen.

Honestly, this type of game advert hooks me right away. I'm always wondering how they solve some of these problems with moving on complex terrain.
