About the impact of the next conflict in the Middle East on IT companies.

Looks like this conflict won't be a short military operation. For now, I would expect that rising energy costs will drive up the cost of energy-intensive services (AI services, cloud computing, etc.). The disruption of shipping routes will increase the cost and time required to deliver hardware components from Asia.

C64 SID

The SID CMOS IC in the C64 delivers an interesting eight bit sound colour in the C64

When I first heard the C64 SID as a kid it was nothing to throw your hat at. I've had experiences with concert piano's, tenor saxophones, percussion instruments in the electric range professional synths, bass guitars so I knew this bleep bloop ssshtt IC could never sound the way of the pro musical hardware, especially not the acoustic instruments.

Last Ninja I

It was when I heard the music of Last Ninja I knew that with it's severe limits, the Sound Interface Device has something special to offer. The composer of the music of this game did something marvelous.

He used arpeggio techniques to make the SID play chords

• SID does not play polyphonic sound
• Arpeggio gives the illusion of chords due to the rapid succession of notes played
• Iconic music was spawned with Last Ninja
• Unique arpeggio chords created on the SID are still seeked by those who were kids in that period
• Others copied the technique and a cult music genre was born
• People still create SID chords on emulated C64's to this day, since the machine is long gone in the anals of history

Background & history

Personal POV

• Being brought up with acoustic instruments of all kind, I know how good and a great instruments should sound
• I have perfect pitch
• I can hear up to the 1/100 of a Hz if a instrument is in tune
• It's annoying when instruments are out of tune for me.
• That distuned instrument, sounds like a kakaphony of cats squealing making the played music horrific in my head
• I came with a high level of raw musical talent enabling me to easily pickup all different kinds of acoustical instruments
• Behind a piano, without any formal training, I could easily play a song in minutes with the chords and the lead tune in a good manner
• I loved to play on the electric bass, so the bass track which I first compose in my head, when I play the piano, is played in sequence
• I would then pickup one of the brass instruments (I love the Tenor Sax) and play the lead well in munutes too
• All that was left was playing the chords on any synth or keyboard available (usually one of the Korg or Yamaha synths)
• I can hear and mix the levels of instruments in my head
• It's easy to remix a sound in my head without having to touch a mixing console
• All of these talents combined give me good insights in music as a whole and computer (SID music then) as a detail
  
• I can work on electrical equiment on the pcb level, something I picked up as a young kid
• From the age of three I disassembled tube radios with expert precision, making me fluent in the disassembly and assembly of tube radios
• I assembled them back in working order from the age of four, after complete disassebly!
• This gives me great insight in the hardware level of electronics

Last Ninja+

• I naturally dismantled my C64 again when I heard the game.
• Why did the game sound that way from a hardware POV
• What makes the IC tick
• I've got the manuals of all the IC's
• I had already replaced the PLA906114 Program Logic Array with a new one on a socked, with no qualms
• The PLA9016114 got too hot in the tropics (max temp 70C) so it never lived long without a heat sink.
• My PLA's were programmed by a friend of mine who was an expert in the programming field
• The new PLA's came blank
• I did all the extraction, socked soldering and other work myself

The answer was in the C64 hardware manual

• SID does just 8 bit audio
• has zero polyphony
• a limited frequency range both low and high
• has scratchy output (which I later learned to appreciate)
• has monophonic, single channel analog output
• is in actuality a fair sounding IC but far from great

The Yamaha 8 bit sound IC of that period was much better

Yamaha had less succes than the SID for a simple reason

Mass deployment

• SID was everywhere!
• C64 machines were sold like warm bread in the morning at the old baker
• Mass deployment means much more software programmed for the IC
• SID won on mass deplyment and lower price in comparison with the lead 8 bit Yamaha audio IC of that period
• The ammount of games making use of the SID was staggering in comparision
• Games drove the success of the SID to astronomical heights
• I got used to the SID, later seeking it's sound when I transitioned to my Amiga A500 with

Paula

• Paula is polyphonic with 16 bit (14 bits actually) sound
• Paula sounds much cleaner
• has 4 channels 0 1 2 3
• hard panning of channels in the stereo analog output
• more stability
• more joy

Motivation for seeking SID after it was gone...

• Simple
• NOSTALGIA
• We all have it
• even kids do

Ode to SID

You've been great

Pandoc a universal document converter

If you need to convert files from one markup format into another, pandoc is your swiss-army knife. Pandoc can convert between the following formats:

(← = conversion from; → = conversion to; ↔︎ = conversion from and to)

Lightweight markup formats

    ↔︎ Markdown (including CommonMark and GitHub-flavored Markdown)
    ↔︎ reStructuredText
    ↔︎ AsciiDoc
    ↔︎ Emacs Org-Mode
    ↔︎ Emacs Muse
    ↔︎ Textile
    → Markua

cmark

cmark is the C reference implementation of CommonMark, a rationalized version of Markdown syntax with a spec. (For the JavaScript reference implementation, see commonmark.js.)

It provides a shared library (libcmark) with functions for parsing CommonMark documents to an abstract syntax tree (AST), manipulating the AST, and rendering the document to HTML, groff man, LaTeX, CommonMark, or an XML representation of the AST. It also provides a command-line program (cmark) for parsing and rendering CommonMark documents.

Advantages of this library:

• Portable. The library and program are written in standard C99 and have no external dependencies. They have been tested with MSVC, gcc, tcc, and clang.
• Fast. cmark can render a Markdown version of War and Peace in the blink of an eye (127 milliseconds on a ten year old laptop, vs. 100-400 milliseconds for an eye blink). In our benchmarks, cmark is 10,000 times faster than the original Markdown.pl, and on par with the very fastest available Markdown processors.
• Accurate. The library passes all CommonMark conformance tests.
• Standardized. The library can be expected to parse CommonMark the same way as any other conforming parser. So, for example, you can use commonmark.js on the client to preview content that will be rendered on the server using cmark.
• Robust. The library has been extensively fuzz-tested using american fuzzy lop. The test suite includes pathological cases that bring many other Markdown parsers to a crawl (for example, thousands-deep nested bracketed text or block quotes).
• Flexible. CommonMark input is parsed to an AST which can be manipulated programmatically prior to rendering.

Unpopular opinion: A fab house secretly fixing your design is actually worse than receiving a broken board. 🤷

When a factory silently nudges a trace or "optimises" a footprint, debugging becomes an absolute nightmare, because the physical board in your hands no longer matches the CAD file on your screen.

What's your opinion? Is a factory tweak a lifesaver, or a liability?

In the top right, Padme smiles enthusiastically and asks, "As I designed it, right?". In the bottom left, Anakin simply stares back in silence. In the bottom right panel, Padme looks concerned and repeats, "As I designed it, right?!".

Please don't refer to electronics going to a landfill just to make a point about disposable technology.

This phrase normalizes the idea of landfilling obsolete/unwanted electronics. That is NOT the correct disposal method, anywhere, for electronics or electrical gear.

Even if you already know this, using "landfill" in place of "e-waste bin" paints a very different picture in the mind of your reader/audience, and you can't know what they do or don't know.

Normalize correct disposal of obsolete (or unwanted) technology. Please.

Computer boot process explained step by step

Quantum computing represents the next technological revolution, following artificial intelligence.

Unlike classical computers using bits (0 or 1), quantum computers use qubits that leverage superposition and entanglement to process massive datasets in parallel. This enables solutions to problems that would take traditional supercomputers thousands of years.

Key applications:
— Pharmaceutical research: molecular modeling in days vs years
— Cybersecurity: current encryption becomes vulnerable
— Logistics: real-time optimization of complex supply chains
— Energy: new materials for batteries and hydrogen

The combination with AI could enable true artificial general intelligence (AGI).

Major players: Google, IBM, Microsoft, Amazon. National programs in US, China, EU. Startups including IonQ, Rigetti, PsiQuantum.

We remain in the NISQ era (noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices). Commercial mass adoption is expected in 5-10 years.

For investors: this resembles the internet in the 1990s. High risk, high uncertainty, but transformative potential.

Φ In the Phaedrus, Plato argued that the invention of writing would destroy our memory and replace true wisdom with a mere shadow of it. He believed that when we stop internalizing knowledge and start relying on external tools, we lose the ability to actually think. Thousands of years later, we are having the exact same conversation about Large Language Models and ChatGPT.

The danger of AI is not that it will become too smart, but that it will make us too lazy to be wise. True education is what Plato called a turning of the soul, a difficult process that requires active engagement. If you let a machine summarize the world for you, you are only holding onto dead speech. We must treat writing and thinking as a practice of the mind rather than a task to be automated.

🧠 Plato feared that external tools create the illusion of knowledge.
⚡ Large Language Models offer quick results while bypassing understanding.
🎓 Genuine insight comes from human dialectic and struggle.
🔍 We must focus on literacy that teaches how these algorithms function.

Friend left behind on twitter Battlefield

This post of yours really hit home.

I have an internet friend who was Left behind on twitter because he wasn't ready to move (WTF why)

I've been congratulating him  on important anniversaries of his, through the internet for years like an Atomic Clock

It's the 4th or the 5th Year that I couldn't do it, because I refuse to re-open my Twitter accounts to see the battlefield, the horrific nukes of War, the destruction that Elon and his cohorts created.

I miss talking to him
He's a good man, a successful Bounty Hunter by Day, a great pappa at Night

Waymo: no driver, no Knowledge, no problem.

Well. One small problem. Several federal investigations, a child outside a school, and it turns out there ARE humans involved, just the ones in Manila nobody mentioned.

London's next. We're thrilled(?)

In 2023, Danish psychiatrist Dr. Søren Dinesen Østergaard predicted that human-like chatbots like ChatGPT could stand to reinforce delusions and hallucinations in people “prone to psychosis.” Recently, Østergaard led a study that found chatbot use indeed appeared to deepen symptoms of mental illness and was especially true for patients prone to delusions or mania. @Futurism has more:

helenOS

Quote

HelenOS is a portable microkernel-based multiserver operating system designed and implemented from scratch. It decomposes key operating system functionality such as file systems, networking, device drivers and graphical user interface into a collection of fine-grained user space components that interact with each other via message passing. A failure or crash of one component does not directly harm others. HelenOS is therefore flexible, modular, extensible, fault tolerant and easy to understand.

Since this is a today I've learned I will learn about helenOS just like you, when you follow the links

Micro kernels can be very interesting

A late #Hackster round-up today, as it's a busy day and it's taking a while for things to get published - I'm prepping for my trip to Embedded World next week by doing additional articles *this* week to lighten Future Gareth's load.

There's still one waiting to go live, but let's start with what's there: the Aliro smart-lock standard, which is basically Matter for locks, Puts the key in your phone's wallet.

Then the CyberBrick, a neat #RaspberryPi Zero 2W and M5Stack Cardputer-Adv portable terminal with a custom-built metal housing...

...and that display (actually the deck itself) isn't connected to the keyboard (the Cardputer) - you can separate the two and they'll work just fine anyway.

A basic but handy project next: replacing the AA batteries in a wireless keyboard with a lithium pillow and USB Type-C charging.

WARNING: There is an embedded video which has an atrocious and entirely unnecessary AI-slop thumbnail. I did not see said thumbnail until the article was already written.

STLs and a build guide next for 3D-printing your own fixed-wing uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV). Almost the whole thing bar the electronics is 3D-printed, in lightweight PLA (LW-PLA) - except for some carbon rods to strengthen the wings.

If you have a 3D printer that can *print* carbon rods, I wanna see it.

Good news from #Arduino next: there's a new firmware for most of its u-blox NUNA-W102-equipped boards which allows you to use both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Low Energy simultaneously - instead of having to choose one or t'other.

I say "most," because there's not enough SRAM on the Arduino UNO Wi-Fi R4 to actually make use of the new feature. All other models - MKR, Nano - are fine!

"Throughout space there is energy. Is this energy static or kinetic! If static our hopes are in vain; if kinetic — and this we know it is, for certain — then it is a mere question of time when men will succeed in attaching their machinery to the very wheelwork of nature."

Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) thinking. Tesla is seated in a dimly lit study or laboratory. He wears a dark, tailored suit, complete with a high-collared white shirt and a neatly tied bowtie, reflecting his elegant style. His slender frame and sharp features are illuminated by soft, focused light, emphasizing his high cheekbones, deep-set eyes, and slightly furrowed brow.
