I hope the QNX can fix their antiquated password process on this site. Apparently I still had an account from the last time they opened things up, and I asked for a password reset. I received a six character temporary…
I can connect to wifi on my old Thinkpad running Haiku. There's no reason FreeBSD shouldn't have full support for wifi out of the box. Even OpenBSD has better wifi support. After many years, reasons start to look like…
I'm looking over at my Decstation 5000/260 with the burnt-out power supply. Maybe this is what I need to get that feeling back.
I was pleased to see a page with photos (and PDF documentation) of the Ceres systems which were used to develop the Oberon operating system. http://cpu-ns32k.net/Ceres.html
I'm doing something similar with the VisionFive 2, boot is on the SD card, the NVME does the rest.
I've ordered something now to at least get in the queue for the next time. Hopefully by then, some Zero 2 boards will be available.
It looks like it's not possible to order one unless you've ordered something from Pimoroni before 12 May 2023. The only one in stock currently is the Pi Zero. So unfortunately it's still the same story. Yeah, we had…
I think I've only ever used the row of GPIO pins on the Pi for UART, and for running the dog-slow screens that use up most of them. These days, I'd put Micropython on a Pi Pico or other MCU for GPIO.
I have a small stack of Raspberry Pi boards that I bought one at a time over the last few years. My issue with them is I could never buy three or four at once. I was always hit with the full shipping cost on something…
I'm currently trying to do this on my little stack of Pi Zero and Zero 2 boards. I remember at some point this worked great, and then I couldn't get it to work again. So far I'm not having any success. The Pi doesn't…
I'm disappointed to see that the binaries for the Raspberry Pi aren't available anymore at the bitbucket linked on https://github.com/yshurik/inferno-rpi. I've run Plan9 in the paste on Raspberry Pi and found it to be a…
It's a perverse incentive for sure.
Thanks, that explains things a bit better. It sounds like it's better to not use the universe repository at all in that case. I don't suppose I can just switch over to Debian for those packages, can I?
So is this in fact a good thing reframed as something negative because Canonical is asking for money?
So if I'm reading sources.list correctly, universe repositories don't receive security updates from the Ubuntu team. Is it now the case that they do, as long as you've enrolled in Ubuntu Pro? That makes it sound as if…
I don't think we're that point yet, but there's some amazing work on deconvolution for seeing around corners.
I haven't finished the article, but it seems like using the flash on the iPhone might have been enough to lower the ISO for the photo. Lower ISO = lower noise. The end results look like a typical noise reduction…
Where can I read more about the mind's senses?
I sometimes get portions of songs stuck in my head for a day or two, but otherwise no music unless I'm really tired. The depiction of hearing someone else's voice when reading a letter from them always fell flat with me.
That's my experience. Dreams can be vivid, or close enough to real life including color. Occasionally I'll see hypnagogic imagery, but more likely I'll hear music when I'm really tired.
I'm not sure myself. Growing up, I remember being frustrated anytime I was asked to imagine something. I imagined what other people's imaginations were capable of, which seemed like so much more. Where reading a book…
That's interesting. To the degree I can visualize, it's the same for me.
I would describe myself as having aphantasia. Anything I can visualize is basically black on black in the fog. It certainly seems to me that in describing visualizing a helicopter, you're really seeing your mental model…
I think you're on to something with how people describe their experience of visualizing. On the one hand, I don't doubt there are artists and architects who can visualization clearly, or musicians who hear music and can…
That's a fair criticism. You could make the case that the film companies didn't care enough to test the film's color reproduction for anything but caucasian skin tones, or didn't put the research dollars into fixing the…
