jarkkoAnd generally speaking, maybe it is a good profile for someone working on technology for schools, to be one who does not pretend to be perfect, and actually makes mistakes sometimes.

And I prefer iOS devices over Android because I rather pay some extras euros for extra privacy than be worried how my data will be shared. Apple and iCloud are not perfect but considering alternative ecosystems for mobile devices I consider their closed ecosystem in a way "least evil" :-) I'm least concerned of my privacy and they do pretty good job on securing the device.

claytoncubitt.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gyIf you ever find yourself saying “It’s just business” to justify an action, you should pause and recognize that the presence of that phrase is a sign capitalism has begun corroding your brain's moral center, and is alienating you from your own beautiful humanity!

rvr@floss.socialAdding a WiringPi module to TIC-80's Python interpreter https://rvr.typepad.com/wind/2025/03/adding-wiringpi-module-to-tic-80-python-interpreter.html
This is a project that I worked on last weekend. TIC-80 is one of the most popular open source "fantasy consoles", imaginary retro-console emulators with IDE for code, sprites, maps and music. I show how to extend TIC-80's Python interpreter, pocketpy, to add GPIO access for the Raspberry Pi.
Edit: Just uploaded the code to github.

jarkkoIt's far from truth but then I can continue editing the snippet manually. My biggest difficulty with Mermaid is that I use it so rarely that I forget the syntax so this will help me to recall all of that. That's actually gist of this whole exercise.
It does not even require powerful AI: I use a local Ollama running llama 3.2 on my RTX 4090. The sequence does not need to be correct as long as it has about the right lanes and some stuff going back and forth.
This makes me wonder tho what is the value of paying Mermaid Charts, which does this on a paid subscription (that's where I got the inspiration in the first place).
This makes me wonder also all of the paid stuff. If you are smart software engineer in the first place you can get 90% of the "efficiency benefit" with a local 2k-4k GPU, which mostly recalling syntax of e.g., Mermaid.

jarkkoI tried Google Gemini and two different AI flavors it has and got three wrong answers.
So eventually I went to Intel SDM and got the answer that I wanted :-)
If this is AGI, it will suck...
