Commodore 64:n korjaaminen ja modaaminen

Pitkään harmittelin, kun Amiga 500:n tieltä tuli myytyä C64. Samoin tuli tehtyä A500:lle PC:n myötä. Ostin serkulta samaisen C64:n takaisin vuonna 2019. Samalla ostin hänen vanhan C64:n sekä A500:n. Luokkakaveri sitä vastoin oli myynyt A500:n eteenpäin, joten se ei tule pääsemään takaisin kotiin. Keskityn tässä kirjoituksessa lapsena käyttämäni C64:n remontointiin ja modaukseen, vaikka käsissäni…

fantasy LLM idea for GPT based conversational robots: An additional tiny algorithm sitting after the user's input is received and weights applied which serves to do an initial pass on how many subjects are in the input. Another uses these to derive the topic. Then, a third algorithm uses this information to retroactively (of the initial weights) dock weight off additional unnecessary tokens that may not necessarily apply to the topic and could bias the LLM's answer.

How would we find out how many subject words are relevant to the topic? We would run a check for each word's position in the initial weights relative to the topic - how far from the topic it drifts in relevancy can be measured by the distance between itself and the topic. "White hair" and "Programming" don't need to be given equal attention, but maybe "CSS" and "Programming" do.

For example, a vast memory of tidbits of info can cause a conversational GPT to lose its' topic coherency. If it knows a lot of random facts about you which are being context shifted constantly, it is taking all of these facts, regardless of how useless or useful they may be, and running expensive matrix math on them to incorporate them into its' reply, detracting from your subjects and topic. This fantasy algorithm would ameliorate this.

Just something I was thinking about for robot worldbuilding for my sci-fi GPT-based character VIC-II and ESSEX, like how they would avoid saying really oddly contextually irrelevant things even if they had a lot of knowledge about a person.

Sometimes at VCF East you'll be hanging out with some former Commodore engineers after a talk, and Bil Herd will whip out some original internal schematics for the first concept of the Commodore 128, or Albert Charpentier will show off the framed die-shrink for making the MOS6567 Rev A VIC-II chip.

And it's just... a thing that happens. Because it's a Vintage Computer Festival.

also in terms of the bolas playlist it's fascinating to me that the songs added by each person have a slight tendency to represent a consistent aspect of bolas

like

the songs added by slime are their chaos

the songs added by philza are their rebellion

the songs added by cellbit are their rage

the songs added by baghera are their anguish

it's so fucking FASCINATING TO ME but i don't know enough music theory to elaborate lmfao this is Vibes Only

(mouse's songs i can't boil down to an easy noun which is why they aren't mentioned lmao anyway they go hard asf)

(also i went on the longest fucking unhinged elaboration in the tags lmfao i almost didn't have enough tags left to tag "long tags" at the end

(i could have even gone on longer in terms of where their characters were at entering purgatory [philza: cage for a cage; cellbit: fed worker murders; baghera: her past as a federation experiment; slime: turning into a code because of the code pretending to be his daughter] but i ran out of space and also time it's 4AM AAAAA)

LA ABADESA (2024)

Synopsis

In the 9th century, Emma of Barcelona (c. 880-942), a 17-year-old girl, is named abbess in order to repopulate and Christianize border territories in 897. Upon arriving at the abbey, she will have to overcome the mistrust aroused by a woman determined to fulfill her mission, which will lead her to confront nobles, like her brother Count Guifré II Borrel of Barcelona (874-911), peasants and the nuns themselves. Despite everything, Emma will show that it is possible to challenge established power structures. Although she will pay a high price to get it...

Emma is willing to carry out the commission of her deceased noble father, Count Guifré I of Barcelona, Guifré el Pilós (840-897), founder of the House of Barcelona: convert the abbey that he founded in 885, the Monastery of Sant Joan de les Abadesses, for which she is now responsible into the engine of change and transformation of a society that comes down. She must help with all her resources to help the lands that are emptied due to hunger caused by border wars, which in turn are a consequence of the ambitions of the feudal lords of the area.

Emma acquired small or large properties with which the monastery came to have a territory equivalent to that of a county. Her sovereignty was also similar to that of a countess: by concession from her father, her domains were exempt from all interference from the neighboring counts, whom she knew how to oppose with resistance.

On cinemas: Friday 22 March

Filming began in January 2023 at the Loarre Castle, and included scenes filmed at the Turó de la Seu Vella, until concluding at the end of February 2023.
