Early beginnings of test program for AMODE and MXMPLAY2. still in SDL window but over time will downscaled, refined and so forth to ao486/GUS FPGA core.
It's fixed point accross the board, catmull rom splines, and triangle fillers based on classic "fatmap.txt" formula :-) This is not recent program but it did not progress for months because there was a rounding error causing weird jumps with the camera.
I also need to make a track with FT2 as the whole point is to test MXMPLAY2.

This made me almost drop from my chair:

1. NVIDIA's source is NVIDIA.
2. OpenAI's source is OpenAI.
3.. Anthropic's source is Anthropic.
4. Microsoft's source ... yeah.
And has been going on for years.

I think Keychron did unknowingly, created the ultimate series of keyboards designed for trackers such as Renoise.
This is what I ordered from Amazon. It's Keychron K6 HE. What makes it special is the ability to send actuation depth back to the host.
Trackers are already cool because you can almost play the instruments while sequencing them. Actuation depth could factor this user experience up to the next level, but only if we can create a MIDI adapter for it.
How programmable the feature is as per open source software is still a bit open question for me, so no time for cheers yet.

four week holiday starting next week... so except some delay at LKML. I'll do a weekly skim. And now I actually will call to LSM call and I mean it :-) Just have been busy with other stuff, thus always missed it.
Four weeks of holiday means four weeks working on my MS-DOS stack :-)

Oh dear:
https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/genai4eu
And obviously no chance to vote against it :-)
Negative ROI from the get go... and nothing really justifies this waste of money.

Here's what I've recommended to a some 20 something people who are beginning of their career, as understandably don't have like similar privileges as I might have to pick AI, or scrape it. Most likely ur ass-raped by the chatbots on a daily basis.
I've told them to learn assembly of some retro computer and write stuff for that hardware platform (e.g. 6502, Z80, m68k, x86 based from 80s/90s era), perhaps buy something like DE-10 Nano FPGA and start experimenting.
I just thought that figuring things out in that type of microversum would be the best antidote for the poison in question :-) For me it was at least good therapy to write amode and mxmplay2 (and more MS-DOS stuff to come in future), as the world felt too weird...
I myself learned most of my programming skills first with Turbo Pascal and later on with Turbo Assembler. That's why I still have hard time dealing with the kernel's horrible AT&T syntax :-) I

My MS-DOS stash:
1. https://codeberg.org/jarkko/amode
2. https://codeberg.org/jarkko/mxmplay2
I've been postponing setting up ao486 GUS fork so thus no example program yet available :-) and i should make a track to supplement that.
I know some demo coders who work on MS-DOS on retro demoscene productions but cannot really recommend these before bare metal testing shows green. Especially GUS playback routine needs to be verified.d

I've never met a junior engineer who would make mistakes, mask bugs and take easy-way-out shortcuts at the rate as coding agents do.
In fact, junior engineers like to show off the most elegant solution of the day to solve problems. They are exactly opposite to coding agents.
I also deeply feel anger when I see this type of age/experience discrimination. Working with any junior engineer is most importantly for me a learning experience.
