Now that #apycula supports the GW1NS-4c I should solder these pins😀
I've just completed a brief high-level architecture description of the machine language monitor. And, as I'm building it, I've come to realize that I'm using the 65816's BRK instruction in a manner not unlike the Start Interpretive Execution (SIE) instruction found on IBM mainframes. This is the instruction that mainframes depend upon heavily to implement virtual machines efficiently.
I think this is kind of cool, actually. Convergent evolution in action!
Test runs take 6-8 hours, I'm already thinking about replacing Ryzen3400 with a faster modification, or adding 8G to the last free slot.
In any case tests (~20000 runs) found fluctuations in one single bit. As soon as I see what's wrong, I can check it on the hardware and post it.
The decoding of the DRIVE attribute has been tested for #fpga boards #gowin GW1N-1, GW1NS-2 and GW1N-9. This required between 530 and 2600 test compilations.
There is one more board left, GW1N-4, with which I have a complicated relationship:)
After that, I will state partial success and move on to the next attribute.
My cheap bluetooth headphones like to save energy on pauses, which turns listening to audiobooks (not all) into a test of nerves:)
A quick search for a way to add background noise to keep them awake with ffmpeg yielded no results: you can add sound to video, you can add video to sound, you can delete sound, you can delete video.
I'll look for more later, but for now there are other things to do.
Okay, what do we have here for zero dollars. JVC P29. It picks up the cassette, rotates the head assembly, the guides pull the tape out of the cassette and... after a while the guides go back under the cassette and the tape stays in place.
A layman's guess --- the main motor(s) are dead. Otherwise it would have dragged the tape back into the cassette.
I was reading Blake Crouch - Dark Matter and came across a description of a parallel universe with a pandemic: curfew, patrols in the streets, etc. It occurred to me that the author couldn't have thought of such a detail as school buses taking children to school as usual.
I think he would have taken me for an idiot if I had advised him to add that to the text 😜
Of course I will refer to the official documentation, but I must say that I do not remember so many sloppy descriptions of the C language:)
