The answer is this. Buy the refurbished C64C, then build this github.com/Bloodmosher/...

GitHub - Bloodmosher/Sysop-64: System Operator for the C-64: Linux Co-Processor Cartridge

FedEx's customer support seems to be programmed not to understand that FedEx delivered my package to the wrong address. I think it's not uncommon and very hard to believe that they didn't trained their chat bot to handle this.

生成AIの到来によって、仕事の本質とは、成果の品質についての説明責任を請け負ことである、という面が明らかになったとも言えます。AI が独立した立場として法的責任を取る事が出来るようにならない限り、この点は変わらない。

吉田正俊 (Masatoshi Yoshida) @pooneil.bsky.social · 7d

「翻訳者がいなくなったのではない。私たちは、ある種のクソ翻訳を作成することができるマシンを作ったということです。使えないほどクソではないが、翻訳者が期待する水準には達していない。しかし、翻訳者はこのようなものと競争しなければならなくなった。そして、AI翻訳を修正しなければならない翻訳者も、このようなものと競争しなければならないため、今やギグワーカーのようなものだ。クソバージョンの供給があまりにも多いため、全体的に価格が下落し、賃金が下落する。」

これはぜんぜん他人事ではない。研究者も同じだ。「バイブコーディング」も早晩、間違え探しと責任取りだけが残る、熟達性の必要のない仕事へと化すだろう。

Spectrum Next #Delphian progress: from walking around to flying across a planet, to flying into space... Now I just need to optimise the starfield code a little... then add the planets and the sun when in space. Still, I'm making progress... 😀😎

#C64 scrolling test #6: It now also works in NTSC and it can scroll in 1-pixel steps. (the old version only used 2 pixel steps) There's more to come, stay tuned!
