Negative Numbers in Binary: The Trick That Powers Every Computer

I've rewritten my #Console8 logo player -also works on #AgonLight - and updated the video file for 2 reasons. 1. it was a bit long playing the whole thing, and 2. I wanted to play a higher resolution video, covering as much of the screen as possible. With a bit of video editing (cutting and cropping to make the most of the logo at the end), plus taking advantage of the VDP code for both decompression and bitmap expansion, this is what my boot sequence looks like. I've left the logo to linger a little, but that's optional and a quick change to the script.

🚨 Breaking News: The Holy Grail of Video Game Code has been dropped on #4Chan, because where else would it go? 🤦‍♂️ Finally, Metal Gear Solid 2 fans can realize their dream of not understanding assembly language on a whole new level. 🙃

Two thoughts on trusting AI:

a) We will(!) end up accepting that AI is better than human programmers in (soon) almost every respect - just like we already accepted high-level languages.
b) But who can guarantee that, along the way, nothing has slipped into our (future) toolchain? Something deeply embedded that nobody can fully remove anymore, and that could be triggered to do something unintended?

Reflections on Trusting AI:

A friend shared an interesting idea today: did we lose something when we moved from assembler to high-level languages? Probably not.

In that context, I recently revisited "Reflections on Trusting Trust" by Ken Thompson, which I found quite compelling.

Two thoughts from that:

🎮📚"Tempest vs. Tempest" is a riveting saga where someone decided to write an entire book dissecting 40-year-old and 30-year-old code like it’s the Rosetta Stone of gaming. 🧠💤 Because, clearly, nothing screams "must-read" like an in-depth analysis of archaic assembly language. 🙄

Day 1 of posing about my journey of Learning assembly language😀
Theory of Automata is done for today. Now it's time to start learning assembly language on a 16-bit system.
Goal for Today I: print "hello world" to the console in DOSBox. using an extended memory segment.
Source of Learning is: YouTube channel recluze
