Okay, the holidays are great, but back to the #fpga stuff.
In the last days of December I started to make the GUI for the #nextpnr part related to #gowin chips and already now I have some questions about the decisions made in the routing process.
Like this situation when the pips CLK0, CLK1 and CLK2 are able to retrieve the clock directly from the global clock branches and yet they use the general purpose X04 pip🤔
But first I need to make the draft version of the GUI😜
Obligatory screenshot showing a typical session of IM/F. CPU register dumps and memory dumps appear interstitially with interactively entered single-letter commands.
It looks like mesa-dri-gallium is functioning again, I can try to compile all the installed packages.
Although experimenting three days before the New Year is not healthy😜
#DragonFlyBSD
Back home after spending some time with my dad. He was very happy with his gift and I was very happy to see him (that's my gift 😌). He also did give me a good amount of empanadas and turkey to take home, so there's that. 😅
Checking a few things online and then hitting the sack. Hope you all had a festive holiday today and I wish you a #goodnight and #tzaf. 💤
The difference between a closed, algorithmically-curated silo like Twitter and the fediverse.
Same post.
Twitter: ~43K “followers”, 8 boosts, 58 likes
Fediverse: ~8.43K followers, 57 boosts, 106 likes
Your thousands of “followers” on Twitter mean nothing because the algorithm (i.e., Twitter, Inc.) decides who gets to hear you.
The next dot-com bubble?
I just saw the Radio Shack cryptocurrency thing*, and I suddenly had a flashback to the dot com bubble. I worked through that period, but I didn't help build it. I've always worked on building physical products that have to be manufactured and shipped to people. Anyway, I'm beginning to feel like there's a new bubble/scam forming, and once again I will be outside of it. Probably affected in some way, but not willingly participating in it.
