For anybody wanting to watch or re-watch my #PiWars Conference video on Visual SLAM using a panoramic camera, you now can here:

Just finished a round of @immersivegamebx in Manchester - it was good fun but pleeease let me make a game for the system D: There's so much that could be done with it!

I'm not really big on politics, but this case does seem rather significant.

I don't normally post about food, but me and my gf managed to go back to our favorite food place in Japan today - Nagasaki Toruko Rice Shokudo! It may have been three years since our last visits, but it's still great! Highly recommended if you're in Akihabara.

Just watched #suzume - was that a "club penguin" reference on a phone about 2/3rds of the way through?

My friend just put up this cool #rp2040 project for #Marchintosh - if you like VGA and retro computers, watch it.

I would just like to take this moment to highlight my absolute disdain for gift cards, particularly the type that @One4allGiftUK sell that expire after a year, silently draining money out of them. I beg you: cut out the middle-man and just give someone money instead.

I have just come across the single most impressive control systems video I believe I have ever seen:

#ChatGPT seems to have some issues understanding JavaScript's 'every' operator behaviour. While this is definitely a rather niche area of behaviour, it definitely highlights the issues that might come with relying on generalising LLMs.

Honey has found rewards! ...on ...a paper... ...about the dragonfly visual processing system.

Been cleaning out and organising the flat this week, and just found this fingerprint scanner I ripped out of a laptop and soldered a USB port to, like, over a decade ago. I remember it stopped working after I glued the wires for support. Plugged it in and suddenly, it's working!

Amazon's finally nailed what it's like to talk to Alexa when you've got music playing

Had a number of goodies turn up from @pimoroni in the last 48 hours, but chief among the things I'm hyped for is this @Espruino Bangle.js! *Time* to get hacking...

Hey @Espruino - I'm thinking of buying a Bangle.js 2 but am wondering about the hackability of it. I see you've got a teardown tutorial for the v1, and I've heard that even the bootloader is hackable - with a v2 would it be possible, to, say, add extra buttons?

Just wrote this function to convert arbitrary numbers to base-26 in a-z form (JavaScript): fn = (n, p=0, r="") => n>25 ? fn(n-26, p+1, fn(p)) : r + String.fromCharCode(n + 97); It works, but I'm too tired to say whether or not the implementation could be better.

🤔 Hmmm. I guess that's closer to the Matrix Trilogy rather than just The Matrix. But still, I said it to my gf as a joke and 5 minutes later she was like "Aagghh it is!"

... - Turns out someone's been gaming the system - The two groups have to work together now to defeat the bad guy who's gone rogue - Bad guy defeated, heroes return to real world but with super powers.

- Main character (s? I was asleep when she started watching it) get taken to a different world that has ramifications on the real world - It's a "one-way trip" - Big war between two groups - They meet morpheus (kinda sad he didn't do dream magic) ...

My girlfriend is watching "School of Good and Evil" on Netflix while I'm on my PC and I have a hot take: It's The Matrix. It's the same film.

Someone sent me AI art of Salmon in the river but HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH 💀💀💀

It's been a long one, but we've finally got the paper out!
