More interesting idea was to make compiler for some subset of Python bytecode. But Antigravity said this idea suxs, for some complex reasons. If the target is ATtiny, makes more sense to ask the AI translate Python to C++, which approach works amazingly well indeed.

Flux like Rossmann

1 milli-Paul of flux. (Or am I mixing things up with Paul Daniels of boardview software fame?)

Two speed - Sturmey Archer was the best. No cables, no maintenance. Drove 4000 kilometers at one go and only needed new tire every 1000 km.

Kiri Engine with AI and Splats might be even better on this.

Only in America: Door knob so you cannot use your sleeve to exit sanitarily.

Also obligatory fluffy and sticky floor mat is missing.


I can't recall any time I have seen a public restroom with a knob to exit instead of a push or pull handle. Even office buildings don't have a knob on the door.

The closest I've ever seen is train and airplane bathrooms where the knob is required - but it is also close enough to the sink that you just use your towel and throw that.

There are knobs on the stalls, but you wash your hands after exiting the stalls so I don't think you are counting that.


* giggles in British.

"Only in America"

I feel like the US has been pretty good at installing foot-knobs (if you will) in new bathrooms. That seems to be the most hygienic strategy, no?

It's actually everywhere. Europe is full of door knobs. We're trying to make sure that everyone touches as many surfaces as possible. Next step would be tongue operated doors and switches.

Door knob seems to be british-american thing?

Gemini: You've spotted a real historical and geographical divide. Door knobs are predominantly an Anglo-American standard, while lever handles dominate continental Europe, Scandinavia, and much of the rest of the world.


Congrats. You've used artificial intelligence to guess wrongly about something you don't know about.

Situation Critical in Sweden:

Jag vill ha runda "Door Knobs" till mina innerdörrar! Finns det att hitta i Sverige och fungerar det till våra kantiga dörrpryttlar (ja, du vet de där som ser till att dörren hålles stängd. Vad sjutton heter det??)?


You take a paper towel / piece of toilet paper and you that to exit.

I have dream that Oneday Oneday these surpass Cinelerra, written in 1996. Thirty Years Ago.

It is not like Cinerella's current release is thirty years old though. You are talking thirty years of development.

TIL Vim Script. OMG. LOL.

I asked Grok compile some elisp to Vim Script. It was possible but weird. Grok says it is not a language perse but ed-primitives with some add-ons like function! .


Silhouette-cutter/plotter by Google Gemini:

Github-repository is awful mess, but this might be of interest. It sends Gcode-command to EiBotBoard-plotter, which for some reason is popular among artistic types.

[redacted] forgot this is Hacker News.

Can you maybe expand this? Are Romanians from North Sea going to fish near Iceland? or did they do that near UK?

And let me ask you an even better question: Is Romania the country you see that has so many derogations from EU laws and can do what they like?


Off-topic, but some average AI would have made all this in 7 seconds.


And machines could hit a baseball or drive a race car better than any human, but we still want to see people doing things.


No we do not.

There is correct time and correct season for everything.

-- 3 points by timonoko 11 days ago: Turbo Pascal on CP/M, MSX-DOS and MS-DOS:

I wrote Pascal for 8080 in 1976 and Finnish Army even paid some money for it. I was truly disappointed that Turbo Pascal did not copy my handy PORT-metavariable. You can write & read IO-ports without any extra hässle:
