Welcome to 2023, where #BASIC still refuses to die! 🚀 #FreeBASIC, the open-source relic, ensures you can relive your QuickBASIC glory days... if you're willing to rewrite everything 😅. #Nostalgia strikes again, because nothing screams "modern innovation" like DOS support! 🖥️🎉

I wish #FreeBASIC had an interpreter mode. There is just something to he said about being able to write a shabang line and just code.
ＡＩ絵生成の弱点
ＡＩ絵生成ソフトの一番の欠陥は基礎を完全無視していきなり絵事態を塗り始める事に有る。だからこそうあれ程不安定で処理ミスが多い。

Weaknesses of AI image generation
The biggest flaw in AI image generation software is that it completely ignores the basics and just starts coloring the picture itself.

October 28, 2014. Oulu, Finland. Samsung Galaxy Trend Plus.
In the University of Oulu library "Tellus". They had bunch of fascinating books on computer science. Including books that I *thought* were obsolete. I was less amused when I recently refound this image, because nowadays, 99% of current AI hype is running on #Python, which is just less flawed iteration of #BASIC. (...also please don't lob rocks at me, I love Python. Also have fond memories of BASIC.)

In this short #BASIC program from #microhobby you must move the black pieces to the place where the red ones are, and vice versa. The black pieces move from left to right, and the red pieces move the opposite. No piece can move backward, and you can't move a piece where another piece is.

Version 3.10.1 of the AmiBlitz programming language has just been released. As the developer Sven 'honitos' Dröge writes, some users have reported bugs that are to be fixed with this version.

Слабкі сторони створення зображень ШІ
Найбільша вада програмного забезпечення для створення мистецтва штучного інтелекту полягає в тому, що воно повністю ігнорує основи та переходить безпосередньо до розфарбовування самого зображення.

Heutiger #Posteingang:
Man hört ja heutzutage so viel von #KünstlicheIntelligenz, da wollte ich mich einfach mal ein bisschen in das Thema einlesen. Das #Literatur-Angebot ist wirklich vielfältig... 😉
For the past 7 years I truly couldn't live without a #smartwatch. I had to have it on my wrist, being constantly notified, have my health tracked and all of that.
Two months ago I bought a #Casio F-91W, just an impulse. I wanted to have it. Not wear it, just have it. But I started wearing this absolutely #basic, almost 40 years old piece and... I love it. It tells time. Just that.
Now I sleep better, I'm not as distracted, and way less annoyed. How peculiar..
808 Lines of BBC BASIC and a Dream: Arm Architecture turns 40.
It is 40 years since the first Arm processor was powered up, and the UK's Centre for Computing History [CCH] celebrated in style, with speakers to mark the event, hardware on show and a countdown to the anniversary.
#arm #40th #anniversary #it #history #basic #programming #engineer #media #tech #news
!["The fact that you can write the whole Arm description in 808 lines tells you how simple it was."
And today's Arm CPUs?
Some good-natured heckling from the audience put the figure as the output of 200 engineers over two years. Quite a bit more than the 808 lines [Furber] recalled for the effort more than 40 years ago. Another wag in the audience suggested that without comments, the line count might be even less, to which [Furber] laughed and said: "Well, it was written in BBC BASIC, which is a self-commenting language."

BBC Micro signed by Arm co-designer Sophie Wilson and her co-boffins at the Centre For Computing History, Cambridge.
The computer, a familiar sight in classrooms throughout the UK and plugged into the televisions of well-heeled parents, allowed the attachment of a second processor. There was a unit with an additional 6502 processor, another contained a Z80 processor. And this one could accept Acorn's new RISC chip, freshly stamped out by VLSI.
At 3pm on April 26, 1985, having been plugged into the test board attached to the BBC Micro, power was introduced and the processor worked. Sophie Wilson, author of BBC BASIC and one of the brains behind the Arm chip, copied an Arm version of the BASIC interpreter and tried a command. Everything checked out.
"It did not say, 'Hello world, I am Arm,'" laughed Wilson at the CCH event. "I think that's one of Hermann's [Hermann Hauser, who set up Acorn Computer with Chris Curry] apocryphal stories! But it did say Pi."](https://files.mastodon.social/cache/media_attachments/files/114/489/103/975/239/085/original/fbe17ad1a11aeb1d.jpeg)

A ten-person team had spent 18 months working on the low-power RISC chip, and it had pretty much worked the first time. That processor, which was first fired up 40 years ago, was a glimpse into the future. It would take bigger companies many years to start seeing things the same way as that early team.
The Arm exhibit is now a permanent fixture at Cambridge's Centre for Computing History, and is well worth a visit. The museum also has a range of computers, along with a smattering of vintage gaming consoles, with which visitors can play.
