The author has successfully implemented a C64 version of the game Lights-Out that matches the NES version's display quality, using 33 sprites and mid-screen interrupts to animate button presses. The project involved revising the game's design to efficiently update sprite data and character graphics, and implementing a complex interrupt handler to manage the display's various states.
The user created a precision clock kit business and automated parts counting with a laser-cut nut and screw dispenser. The user improved the design with a longer track and a small hopper for weight reasons.
The author built a custom voice agent from scratch, achieving a 2x latency improvement over off-the-shelf providers like Vapi, by optimizing model choice, pipelining the agent turn, and carefully managing geography and service placement. The key takeaway is that voice is an orchestration problem, requiring careful coordination of multiple models and services in real-time, and that building a ...
The user discusses the importance of anonymous authentication in a world where routine age-verification and human identification are becoming increasingly common, and proposes the use of anonymous credentials to protect user privacy. Anonymous credentials, such as those proposed by David Chaum, allow users to prove their identity without revealing their real-world identity, and can be ...
Mathematician and sculptor Helaman Ferguson invented this design for a hyperbolic blanket. His original construction was a poncho. Ferguson kindly loaned me his poncho so that I could use it in a lecture and — better still — reverse-engineer it to make a hyperbolic blanket of my own. If you want to make one too, follow the instructions and photos below. Compared to older paper-and-scissors ...
