YES! I had the same one in high school and LOVED IT! Programming it was a lot of fun. The bitwise stuff is a little inconvenient but still very nice. I like that the CM-100 makes bitwise ops the primary interface.

I always wanted one, but they were out of reach. My 15C was neat, but I lusted for a 16C. I accepted the Casio CM-100 "Computer Math" as a compromise. It's a little hard to find but a lot cheaper. It has very good bitwise functions, and I love this era of Casio design.

Maybe not willy-nilly, but vibration will cause an IC to unseat from a dual-wipe socket faster than a machined socket. Another problem I've noticed with wiper-style sockets is that the contacts are flimsy and can be crushed if the registration between the pin and wiper is off. There will be a weak or no connection, the socket is ruined, and the fault isn't immediately visible. I'm not arguing for machined sockets. They are often a pain in the ass.

Their point is they provide a much more secure connection than dual- or single-wipers. But because they deform, they aren't great for chip reinsertion. Breaking pins is just a bonus.

On real hardware connected to a color TV, it's technically possible to suppress the color burst signal, but it is not designed to do that. You have to synchronize continuously running code to the video signal's horizontal blanking interval. During the front porch or breezeway (before the color reference burst), switch to text mode for a few cycles, then switch back to graphics mode during the back porch (before the HBL ends). Getting in sync is the tricky part.

This new series, Wading Through AI, with Casey Muratori and Demetri Spanos, promises to be good. The first episode is very interesting, if somewhat bleak. However, the incessant and indiscriminate intrusion of automated ads sometimes makes it difficult to follow and enjoy.

How insidious is this? At first I thought "glaze" was sort of funny, because we see so much AI worship. Then I realized it co-opts the name of a tool used by artists to make their work poisonous to genAI data sets.

This is huge. The Supreme Court of the United States has declined to take up an appeal regarding generative AI. This upholds the findings of multiple lower courts and affirms that AI-generated content cannot be copyrighted. This is good news for actual creatives and bad news for commercial AI use.

Zip-A-Tone had been around since the 30s and Letraset's Letratone would have also been available in the 70s.

I understand their fascination with AI: They're fucking morons.

I was initially taken aback by what appeared to be Pin-Bot on the NES in this thumbnail. I'm the first to admit that I have a major blind spot with that console. But I was knocked out to learn that the impressive Rad Racer was coded by Apple II legend Nasir Gebelli.
