The first play part is setting up arbitrary (in this case, player-entered) code execution.
The 2nd part is entering the arbitrary code to be executed.
The 3rd part is the arbitrary code being executed.
From the description:
This is a Tool-assisted run of Pokémon Yellow, playing around with arbitrary code execution and testing the limits of Gameboy hardware.
Tool-assisted meaning a program entering the data into the game. A lot of times tool-assisted is in the context of a speed run, a TAS (tool-assisted speedrun).
A TAS file can be shared and perfected by many people, and reflects the most optimised way to finish a game as fast as possible.
Sometimes TAS runs include techniques that are "TAS only", an extreme example being alternating between left & right every frame for 30 seconds. Sometimes these "TAS only" techniques end up being performed by actual speed runners. And some TAS runs are "Human viable" as in "no techniques used that can't be executed by a speed runner".
Some TAS systems can interface with an actual console, pretending to be a controller (called "TAS Bot" I believe). Generally, they run the game in an emulator or interface with an emulator.
So, this video is about a TAS (well, the tool-assisted part, not necessarily the speedrun part) setting up arbitrary code execution (ACE) that then executes a bunch of user-entered code, which is what happens in the rest of the video
reattaching cables should be easy enough to a new unit in case of replacement
Unless, for whatever reason, the pinout on the new unit is different from the old unit.
I almost fried my PC with that, before I paused and beeped the new and old cables out and realised they were wired differently.
So a modular PSU.
But instead of standardising cable connections & wiring across the industry, they made a connection plate thing.
Yeh, for 99% of casual internet users... they just aren't going to care about that.
They don't want their email/Facebook/back account pwnd.
Like, at all.
It's like saying that 0.01% of traffic fatalities are because an airbag forces your head into the roof of the car. So you should wear a helmet when driving.
You aren't wrong.
Internet is a massive part of our daily lives. We should be able to fully trust the things we use to interact with it.
But convenience is going to win
Well, the east wing is rubble.
And there is exposed structure on the lawn
That's fair.
What would you have them do? What are they missing?
And directional radio towers ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT%26T_Communications_(1984%E2%80%932010)#AT=&T_Long_Lines= ) and satellites. Both of which are wireless.
So yeh, wires have been used in establishing the internet. But wires are not a requirement for internet.
It's like rain can make things wet. But something being wet does not require rain.
Internet is internetwork (ie inter-network), meaning a network of networks.
Wires are not part of the definition
Yeh, fair question.
Recently I built a Non Linear Editor for Vimeo VODs.
The server downloads the VOD, extracts key frames using FFMPEG, allows the user to create a bunch of sections and where they get uploaded to, then FFMPEG does a stream copy to extract those sections, and then upload them.
I knew all of that was possible. I had never done HTML5 video players, I had never spawned FFMPEG from typescript, there was a lot of html/CSS that I didn't have experience with.
Previously, I would have passed on this work.
But after defining a plugin system for source/destination (so it can be used with YouTube or whatever), and splitting each stage into workers, the code itself is fairly easy to evaluate.
I didn't need to know how to get to the result, I just knew what shape the result should look like so I could drive the LLM, and then I just had to read the result and google anything I didn't understand.
And ultimately, I don't really care "if it's good or not". The definition of "good" is that it works and is robust. Other than that, it's looking for code smells.
I guess I am lucky that most of my work is "one and done" instead of long-term support.
Wow, this violates privacy! You mean this scans for nearby devices? Completely exposing nearby consumers of those devices? Totally illegal
\s btw
Just leaving this here....
