Stressed cause the world's on fire, but I keep moving forward. So I gave N3RD some whimsy #maker #robot

8-bit optimization for Z80 and 6502 in 2026

Optimizing multiplication and division routines for Z80 and 6502 processors.

Moved my projects out of gitslop into #Codeberg https://codeberg.org/TechPaula

I will delete the gitslop repos in a couple of weeks.

Adults Lose Skills to AI. Children Never Build Them.

Discussions of cognitive offloading often miss a critical distinction: What AI does to a 45-year-old's brain is categorically different from what it does to a 14-year-old's.

Psychology Today

More and more I think we need strong social norms against using LLMs in 'write mode'.

When they're used in read mode, the only person they're misinforming is you, the twit that decided to use one. In write mode? They've got the ability to disseminate false knowledge to others, an actively hostile and anti-social act. This should be seen as akin to littering or fly-tipping.

At the absolute minimum you have the social responsibility to admit that the artifact you brought into creation was done so with a language model to minimise the fallout to others. Ideally, don't publish it at all.

Codeberg, any good?
I'm thinking of moving my #LT6502 & #LT6502b projects there as I'm tired of AI rubbish.
Anyone else use them? thoughts?

Well, I can read the registers of the RA8889 10" (1024x600) display on my #LT6502b project :)

So I'll be trying to get it to start in the next few days/week.

#Retrocomputing #6502

Slightly mad version of Sorry.
Played with three people but having six sides makes it last a bit longer.

RAM now working :)
CF also working.
VIA working.

So next is keyboard and display, the display will take a loooong time.
