Last Notes npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1pu3…8r76 I have invented a new dish that is much tastier than egg on face. Look, have you heard of this thing called "grilled bread"... npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1kav…9n8w Time to "do your own research". But like - actual science. Keep a diary, change diet and drink and sleeping position - see if anything correlates. Yeah, getting old sucks. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1e9u…krf8 Oh gods I used to fix hifis and you would indeed get the "I have replaced every single component and it still doesn't work" yeah that's because every new component gets destroyed by the existing ones. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1pu5…29e0 This did make me laugh though. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth Please. People. I'm begging you. Don't spend all that time on a game, and them make a demo that makes people so confused they ragequit. Why? Why would you do this to yourselves? npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth I wonder how much BOM it would have been to give the Switch a Wiimote good enough to play all the WiiSports stuff. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub170n…mcar Oof. Sorry man. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth Every now and then I check to see if Satisfactory has actually shipped yet, so I can replay from the start once it's "done". And - it's a month away! v1.0 ships on September 10th. Woohoo! npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth Just finished "Leap Year" a charming little game with just left, right and jump. A lot of fun puzzles, some real head-scratchers, but I got there in the end - 3 hours total and absolutely worth it. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub109f…lxyh It looks that way, but the actual implementation is radically different. Getting the Big Cores to support AVX512 per-lane predication was quite the drama production and cost a bunch of area. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth A friend visited us for the weekend and hadn't seen Dune or Dune 2 so we rewatched them, one per night. Those movies remain amazing, and it was fun rewatching them through someone else's eyes. A bunch of little bits I missed first time around. Highly recommend a rewatch. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1pu3…8r76 You're heard of cargo cults. They're just sticking coconut shells on their shoulders to mimic the true Super Metroid. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1faa…qx58 Down in Fraggle Rock. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub17c8…vr2l Bluesky has "feeds" which I haven't really dug into, but each is a different algorithm, and I think you can tune your own maybe? npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1pze…j2zs If it's a Windows machine, search in settings for "power button". You can set it to do nothing, but yeah setting it to just sleep is fine - you won't lose work. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1pze…j2zs I cover my desktop power buttons with little cardboard flaps to prevent cat-paws turning them off. A laptop is a new one for me though! npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1qhe…5p47 i740 says not. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1pze…j2zs Sheeeeeet. If this gonna be that sort of party... npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth Full video of racing my #Caterham in the Mini Enduro in Seattle in May this year. A fun running battle with the Ironmaster BMW, and a bit of action against a Mitjet npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1tr6…kwal Or, if all you get from your efforts is a rather wet fart and nothing more solid - "make dew" npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1pze…j2zs Unfortunately I'm not sure there are any "normal" cameras any more. Mobile phones ate them, just like they ate calculators and MP3 players and e-readers and GPS navigation thingies. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth Full video of the #Caterham Cup race 2. Some interesting times with a novice in a Formula Mazda, and then a great view of a close battle between two Caterhams. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth Highlights of racing my #Caterham in the Mini Enduro in Seattle in May this year. A fun running battle with the Ironmaster BMW, and a bit of action against a Mitjet npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth Full video of the #Caterham Cup race 1. A great back-and-forth with Tamer with a rather too-exciting finish. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1xnp…8gp7 Also we like to be reassured that pounding yourself against rocks does eventually yield results. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth Highlights of my racing #Caterham in the Caterham Cup races in Seattle on May 11th/12th this year. First race is a great back-and-forth with an exciting finish. Second race is full of incidents and ends with a great battle. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub13z4…cxvd This is pretty close - same time period. I remember it being quite fun. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1683…f0qg Look it's clearly forgotten the Safe Word give it a break. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1d4d…vwfy Do you know the clever trick to trade very very fast and get lots of money? Can't believe I still remember it after all these decades... npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1qfa…y6fn This subject has produced more people talking out their asses than I have seen in a long time. Some of them might be accidentally right. I would wait for the actual data. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1xcs…rpjj I have made little flip-up cardboard protectors for mine - like the missile launch button on a fighter jet! So far the cats have not managed to defeat it. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1elw…rcy2 This is the advert I kept waving in my parents faces until they gave in. 16k of full colour computing! npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1vu0…00z0 Don't pay them, and watch them get madder and madder that even charging 10% interest doesn't seem to work. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1tak…90fl Bsky is fine, and its own fun flavour of unhinged, but it's not got the vicious streak of Twitter. All three have a place in my diseased little heart. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1km2…ae6d Why would you be so pointlessly rude? Have a mute. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1e8j…pvqw How'd that work out in 2016? npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1em0…fqzu I have not been impressed by his previous coverage of this. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1c5u…sr87 But like a real-life parallel is David Hasselhof, who was "big in Germany" as a pop star for unfathomable reasons: npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1c5u…sr87 Usually also a side reference to this song: npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1exd…ujjm It's always a stunning location. So grateful to have it "in my back yard". npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth I'm sorry. To all the people who left Twitter in disgust - I totally understand and admire. But man the quality of shitposting there in the last 48 hours is just off the scale. Just absolute carnage on both sides. Total memebath. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1ua7…rrg3 Oooh - got me thinking: https://cohost.org/tomforsyth/post/891823-rotation-with-three npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1pu3…8r76 I was so jealous of the boring, quick and un-earth-shattering UK election recently. It was just... NORMAL. Even the French was wasn't that dramatic. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1tx6…3ssq Four wheels good, two wheels bad! :-) npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1qu5…qel2 Exactly this. It is usually a legal requirement - or might as well be one - because anything else and they'd be done for insider trading in a heartbeat. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1elw…rcy2 ...and then you discover they make stereos specifically designed for this task! npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub109f…lxyh Correct. Otherwise you would violate that statement. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub18vn…twxp Though bear in mind 35 years ago, most teams were maybe 3-5 people. So it's not THAT big a multiplier - we just forget how tiny teams were back then. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1ua7…rrg3 You should submit this as a critical bug report, which they will have to fix, thus bumping the version number when they fix it? Or would that lead to an infinite recursion? npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub12ae…xuxh This reminds me that Chris Foss also did the artwork for The Joy Of Sex. Can't think why this specific cover prompted that. Total mystery. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth My overachieving nephew just got a piece of art into the Royal frikkin Academy!!!!! npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth Highlights of my racing #Caterham in the Caterham Cup races in Portland on April 27th this year. A number of equipment failures, and a slippery finish as the rain arrives. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth Good morning Europe. Don't look at the US news today. Wait until tomorrow. Today is too much. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth Oh, so this is the "Paxlovid Rebound" all the cool kids are talking about. Symptom and test-free for a few days and then comes right back at you. 2/10 would not recommend. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1pze…j2zs Sounds like bots or influence farmers to me. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth Huh. Just watched the video for the first time - did not realise it was the theme for a 1984 movie "Johnny Dangerously" featuring a very young Michael Keaton. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth I love a terrible rhyme, and this one by Weird Al is currently stuck in my head: npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1grk…nqea Almost everything stayed attached to the car that weekend. A nosecone tried to escape, but we caught it. Very dull. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1xnp…8gp7 I think it's just onomatopoeic. Sound made by a jean-clad arse on a cloth-covered bench. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1pu5…29e0 Do the myriad euphemisms for DJT count? Often used to dodge the inevitable search-and-reply trolls. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth Huh - is this taste of cardboard the "Paxlovid mouth" I've heard about? It's not exactly a problem, and doesn't seem to stop other states or smells, it's just a bit odd. I guess I'll find out when I finish the dose in a few days. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1pze…j2zs Sort of. Sitting here finally chewing into my backlog of racing footage to edit into YouTube vids. But also waiting for a Covid infection to die down. Also it's too frikkin hot. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth Yet another amusing US-vs-Europe thing. In Europe, in general, left-wing parties use mostly red colours while right-wing use mostly blue. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1pze…j2zs RBF girl is indeed a bit snooty, but she's slowly getting friendlier. If you open a window she likes to sit and scream at the outside world. We call her the Princess of Wails. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1pze…j2zs One of our cats always looks stupid - which is fair, because he is actually a giant idiot. One of our cats always looks mean - she has a really bad RBF. And the other one always looks happy. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub129t…mdn4 Poor little thing probably walks around in circles all day. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth Ironically this morning the brother & sister cat were both snuggled up to me in bed, and then a WOODPECKER PECKED WOOD and they both teleported under the bed. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1qvz…d94f Dun Darach was a technical marvel, but brutally hard. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub159y…uf43 You can go way way way overboard and do this! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKT-sKtR970 npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1mkd…2zsc "We have not received any complaints" npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth Trying to enjoy the beauty and peace of nature on this lovely sunny day, and so is a Bald Eagle which is sitting in the tree nearby. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1r37…xrlz Such a shame. A fantastic place to visit. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1v6h…tnzt Missed the absolute #1 most important lesson which is "first, write the compiler". Everything else follows. It's frankly terrifying how many ISA architects I know can't/won't write a compiler. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1qvh…8mxr Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth There's the Kabbalah, but it doesn't really have "epic tales" as such. The actual book of Jewish epic mythology is just the Old Testament. Maybe a bit spicy for a 10-year-old though? npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1rfc…fll0 Relevantly amusing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghDvyItIHTY npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth It does pops and crackles on the overrun, and those noises come from the back of the car! This is the sort of insane attention to utterly fake and totally gratuitous detail I can get behind. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth I'm a petrol-head that doesn't commute to work and drives mainly for fun. I don't need or want an electric car, but if I did, it would absolutely be this one. Because these people clearly understand why I like cars, and they designed this one just for me. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1em4…qtjw Biblically accurate tiger. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1pze…j2zs At least spell "phoenix" right 🙂 npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1pln…zdmx The arc of the moral universe, etc etc etc npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth I don't care how Metroid you make it, 4 is not prime. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1kav…9n8w That's going to unsettle anyone for sure. I am lucky to have never been in a serious accident, on or off track. Not for lack of trying, mind you: npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1kav…9n8w You certainly have to build up to it. I have plenty of videos of early... errors. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth Those of you who watch my racing videos may know that I like to take my time. And as a result I'm about a year behind posting them. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1pze…j2zs Looking for a good time! npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1pu5…29e0 A heat lamp! npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth Today was some good races in Portland. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub1znz…8l64 No sniper rifle or rocket-jump. Not enough crafting options. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth Anyway, it said was there anything else I wanted to know, so I asked it how to uninstall C*pil*t. It happily gave me an answer which sounded pretty straightforwards, which was nice and easy. Oh, except it was completely wrong in three ways when you actually tried it. Peak AI. npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth Turned on my PC today and there was a new window open to MS C*pil*t asking about how to cook Japanese food in under an hour. I absolutely did not ask it this - don't even know how. WTF Microsoft? npub1t8zuvyvpadmxuvul6ndgt9z3pnywuuawjel7g2v04lypcuvxr82qjagw60 Tom Forsyth @npub16y5…ym3t recommended Isles of Sea and Sky, and I second that - I'm really enjoying it. It's "Zelda, but Sokoban" and everything you do is done by pushing things.
