This story of one coder's 16-year effort to make an emulator for a largely forgotten laser disc video game system is a fun reminder of the mountains people will climb simply "because it's there." www.readonlymemo.com/this-is-the-...

X is not worth 33 billion. He basically just paid himself $33B from another company, presumably to pay off his debts from the initial buy because he knows he'll never be able to raise the capital from X itself. He is his own ponzi scheme.

Pour out a dose of cold nitrogen gas for the amazing Gaia space telescope. It mapped more than a billion stars & revolutionized our picture of our galaxy. Here's the last view of Gaia from Earth, as the telescope made a final maneuver using its nitrogen propellant. 🧪🔭 www.esa.int/Enabling_Sup...

What completely blows my mind is that Kraftwerk was founded only 8 years after The Rolling Stones. Ralf Hütter is 78, 3 years younger than Mick Jagger.

Major props to Google for actually fixing the Chromecast Audio failures. It's an EOL product from 10 years ago. (It doesn't forgive Google Reader or any number of other @killedbygoogle.com ), but it's nice to see. www.theregister.com/2025/03/13/g...

Guess he got confused when he said he would lower prices on day one... what he really meant was he would make sure stock market would plunge so we all lose life savings and end up in a recession... on top of all the job firings... we are living a nightmare www.cnn.com/2025/03/10/i...

For those who don’t know, Jonathan is *the* person who keeps track of stuff in space, a key part of the information ecosystem for anyone who studies or writes about satellites. He now needs some help to keep doing this. (1/2)

This is a great recap of the week in #semiconductors from @semiengineering.bsky.social. semiengineering.com/chip-industr...

The year is 2035. I meet President AOC in the Oval Office. "You've done well," she says. "By telling men to dress gay, you've lowered the population rate by 90%, thereby reducing carbon emissions." She slides me a manilla envelope. I can now afford a home in a walkable neighborhood

What an amazing run, we've learned so much about our celestial neighborhood from this robot!

A number of Oscar-worthy movies were released this year, but only ONE features Amy Adams singing “Dare to Be Stupid”! Nightbitch is now streaming on Hulu.

The biggest divide in America today is not between “right” and “left,” or between Republicans and Democrats. It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The old labels — “right” and “left” — prevent most people from noticing they’re being shafted. Know the truth.

While trying to track down some dates and times for an internet argument (don't ask) I stumbled on this fairly incredible Scott Adams / Adventure International article written in 2022 which is absolutely rife with first-level sources and citations. Amazing work. news.fit.edu/archive/secr...

My gingerbread for this year. Merry Christmas and happy Voyages to all!!

Running a feed the bots here become obvious. They will blast out the same thing on a ton of accounts. Maybe @safety.bsky.app can use this to help remove them?

A vintage Intel video on the 386 processor, feat. Pat Gelsinger and Gene Hill, just dropped on YouTube. youtu.be/LQcLhBZY12g Thanks to @computerhistory.bsky.social for digitizing this.

I beg you, all of you, please stop retweet-skeeting. We left that place already.

What a fun and quirky story.

Triple Module Redundancy (TMR) is a logic design technique to make digital circuits radiation hardened (radhard). My team did this for crucial parts of the radhard Virtex 5QV FPGA. This article describes it well and how to do it using a commercial P&R tool. www.asicnorth.com/blog/rad-har...

So many people have migrated over here, but the businesses and orgs haven't. For example most of my "Sierra Ski Travel" list is not here. twitter.com/i/lists/1629... These things keep me partially chained to Xitter.

The face of the future. @sonicinternet.bsky.social is here to install a 10Gbps (!!!) connection to my house for the same price as the 10Mbps connection I had when I moved into this house.

Hi @skyfeed.app you're awesome, thanks for the service!!! Quick question, is there a way to "unit test" a post? I want to see why a post is not showing up on my feed when I expect it to?
