FruitJam 10 PRINT CHR$(205.5+RND(1)); : GOTO 10 🎮🕹️����🍊

We're working on getting some fun emulators ported to the FruitJam

. Of course, we wanted to start with the C64, so when we found the MCUME

emulator project with many retro machines already done and ported to popular microcontrollers, we got right to checking it out! Here, Jepler is testing out the C64 with video output on HSTX. Next up is the keyboard, but for now, it's fun to test out the famous 10 print… goto 10 script

and watch the vibes generate.

At least as far as YouTube is concerned, the worst offenders of AI plagiarism work by downloading the video’s subtitles, passing them through some sort of AI model, and then generating another YouTube video based off of the original creator’s work. Most subtitle files are the fairly straightfoward .srt filetype which only allows for timing and text information. But a more obscure subtitle filetype known as Advanced SubStation Alpha, or .ass, allows for all kinds of subtitle customization like orientation, formatting, font types, colors, shadowing, and many others. YouTuber [f4mi] realized that using this subtitle system, extra garbage text could be placed in the subtitle filetype but set out of view of the video itself, either by placing the text outside the viewable area or increasing its transparency. So now when an AI crawler downloads the subtitle file it can’t distinguish real subtitles from the garbage placed into it.

Lol a video végén van még egy trükk a subtitle crawler llm-k átbaszására, nem lövöm le a poént

3D printing with Ceramic slurries

Did you know that 3D printing is becoming more accessible and affordable? While printing in various plastics or resin is relatively easy and inexpensive, printing in other materials can be more complex. There are printers available for metals and even concrete, but they tend to be much more expensive compared to their plastic counterparts. However, ceramic, as a material for 3D printing, has…

I'm a computer science major and have no workshop at all and I see all of u (hackaday) ppl making crazy cool stuff and damn wondering if im in the wrong major

it's just that building another operating system does not compare to building an edm machine

but also computers are awesome :/ I need to double maybe even triple major

Fruit Jam RP2350B credit-card mini computer with all the fixin's 🍓🍇💾

We were catching up on a recent Hackaday hackchat with Eben Upton (https://hackaday.io/event/202122-raspberry-pi-hack-chat-with-eben-upton) and learned some fun facts: such as the DVI hack for the RP2040 was inspired by a device called the IchigoJam (https://www.hackster.io/news/ichigojam-combines-strawberry-and-raspberry-to-deliver-a-raspberry-pi-pico-powered-educational-micro-66aa5d2f6eec). We remember reading about this back when it was an LPC1114, now it uses an RP2040. Well, we're wrapping up the Metro RP2350 (https://www.adafruit.com/product/6003), and lately, we've been joking around that with DVI output and USB Host support via bit-banged PIO, you could sorta build a little stand-alone computer. Well, one pear-green-tea-fueled-afternoon later we tried our hand at designing a 'credit card sized' computer - that's 3.375" x 2.125", about the same size as a business card (https://hackaday.com/2024/05/07/the-2024-business-card-challenge-starts-now/) and turns out there's even a standard named for it: ISO/IEC 7810 ID-1 (https://www.iso.org/standard/70483.html).

Anyhow, with the extra pins of the QFN-80 RP2350B, we're able to jam a ridonkulous amount of hardware into this shape: RP2350B dual 150MHz Cortex M33 w/ PicoProbe debug port, 16 MB Flash + 8 MB PSRAM, USB type C for bootloading/USB client, Micro SD card with SPI or SDIO, DVI output on the HSTX port, I2S stereo headphone + mono speaker via the TLV320DAC3100 (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/texas-instruments/tlv320dac3100irhbt/2353656), 2-port USB type A hub for both keyboard and mouse or game controllers, chunky on-off switch, Stemma QT I2C + Stemma classic JST 3-pin, EYESPI for TFT displays, 5x NeoPixels, 3x tactile switches, and a 16-pin socket header with 10 A/D GPIO + 5V/3V/GND power pins. The PSRAM will help when we want to do things like run emulations that we need to store in fast RAM access, and it will also let us use the main SRAM as the DVI video buffer.

When we get the PCBs back and assembled, what should we try running on this hardware? We're pretty sure it can run DOOM. Should that be first? :) We also need a name. Right now, we're just calling it Fruit Jam since it's inspired by the IchigoJam project.

Coding Competitions and Hackathons: Fostering Student Interest

In the world of technology, coding competitions and hackathons have emerged as the ultimate arenas where innovation, skill, and passion collide. Imagine this: a coding battleground where students battle against time and complexity to crack intricate problems or a creative cauldron where sleep-deprived teams cook up ingenious Tech Solutions in a matter of hours. These are not just events; they're captivating journeys that ignite the flames of curiosity and enthusiasm in students' hearts.

Take the International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) for instance, often dubbed the Olympics of coding. It's where university teams from around the globe showcase their algorithmic wizardry, solving puzzles that push the boundaries of logic. But these competitions are more than just medal quests. They're like mental marathons that challenge participants to think outside the box, explore innovative ways of tackling challenges, and nurture their coding prowess. It's not just about winning; it's about the exhilarating journey of self-improvement.

Hackathons, on the other hand, are the pressure cookers of innovation. Imagine being in a room pulsating with energy, where the air is filled with the clickety-clack of keyboards and the aroma of pizza. In this intense atmosphere, teams of students join forces to turn their ideas into working prototypes within a time crunch. These hackathons have birthed wonders like Facebook's 'Timeline' feature and the 'BrailleMe' device that empowers the visually impaired. It's the perfect blend of creativity and chaos that nurtures a spirit of experimentation and rapid Problem-Solving.

So, why should students dive into these whirlpools of coding adventures? The benefits are as wide-ranging as they are enriching. Beyond the lines of Code, these events offer a taste of the real-world tech environment. Participants learn to manage constraints, prioritize tasks, and pivot swiftly, just like tech pros in the industry. The connections made during hackathons are gems; you're surrounded by likeminded peers and mentors who might shape your future career trajectory.

And let's not ignore the economic impact. Tech Giants are known to scout talent in these very competitions. Imagine the thrill of landing a dream job at Google or Microsoft because you showcased your problem-solving finesse. Startups, too, view hackathons as breeding grounds for innovative minds that might someday revolutionize industries.

Yet, amidst the allure of victory and job prospects, there's something deeper at play. These events are catalysts for creativity, pushing students to innovate under pressure, crafting solutions that make a difference. They blur the lines between coding and artistry, encouraging students to fuse technology with imagination, resulting in projects that defy norms.

However, the most important question is, are you ready to embrace the challenge? Are you willing to push your limits, code through the night, and turn caffeine into code? If your answer is yes, then Coding Competitions and hackathons are your playgrounds of innovation. They're where you'll make friends, create the future, and find your true coding passion. So, what are you waiting for? Dive in and let the coding adventure begin!
