This is a fun maintenance message from @StackOverflow.

I have say, I got a little warm fuzzy when this one turned around. 🤓stackoverflow.com/questions/…

Ok, I was wrong.

I can't find the word "taxi" anywhere. #SFO

This is crazy! @unity released a video showing off its latest capabilities for creating photorealistic human characters. youtu.be/eXYUNrgqWUU

😆 What have you done for me lately?

This is an interesting AI hype cycle from @Gartner_inc. Top trends are: 1. Operationalizing AI initiatives 2. Efficient use of data, models and compute 3. Responsible AI 4. Data for AI gartner.com/en/articles/the-…

I would by lying if I said I didn't get a little charge out of this. BTW, this was the LinkedIn response to my post about becoming a course facilitator (like a TA) for @Stanford's xcs234 (reinforcement learning).

Success! After replacing a couple of the RAM chips I was still getting some weird errors, so rather than fight I decided to just replace all 24 of them. I'm now happy to say that the machine is working like a charm! What now? I have an idea...

You can pretty clearly see the new guy: second row, far right. I'll start with just one and then replace others as needed.

The replacement RAM chips are here. The data recovery on the old floppies was 😭 (my high school game was not to be found) but I can still try to get the machine to work.

I'm loving the color of these new floppies. They're double sided, double density, which I should have been using since... forever. Now I need to figure out what to put on them...

@bzotto sat with me for hours going through the floppies. We scanned over 30. He was able to recover most of them and find content on all. My game, however, was not to be found. 😭 Disappointing, but I can't thank him enough for all the effort.

Today I'm meeting @bzotto IRL! He graciously offered to use his Applesauce to see if we can find my high school game. If it still exists, it's in this box. I'm trying to emotionally prepare myself for disappointment. 🤓

I've heard of folks soldering on an earring post. They have a lot more skill than I. And probably finer equipment.
