I've permanently moved over to Mastodon & the Fediverse. It's got more of the things I want to see and contribute to and less noise to distract me.

This is my last post here on Twitter. Hope to see you on the other side!

Before he steps down I’d just like to thank Elon Musk for shattering the myth that billionaires are smarter, more hard working, or simply any better than anyone else in the most public way imaginable.
Up to 32 x Bookman1 ROMs successfully dumped now.
Building the ROM collection (easy) before going deeper with comparative binary analysis (hard).
Have now resorted to using an unplugged 3D printer's z-rail as the physical compression method for the ROM dumper's card slot. It works and is more stable than a can of beans! #smallwins
Did you know you can rotate text overlays in MacOS Preview just by using the trackpad? This is a game changer!
Managed to figure out how to consistently extract Card Icons from the ROM files. Works 90% of the time, still have to catch some edge cases for a few ROMs. Pretty happy with the headway that's been made!
Re: data corruption issues... it was the elastomeric connector not making proper contact all this time 🤦♂️

We’ll come full hilarious circle when people use LLMs both to 1) expand a simple message like “execute faster” into email and 2) summarize an email back into the original simple message. It’s like compression/decompression into formalese
Franklin Bookman ROM dumper tool V1 is now documented and open source. Some analysis notes included. You will need some hardware built to fully replicate results!

There's a better vision of science where each paper is a living repository, where comments and critiques arrive as pull requests, and where the output in most cases is in the form of libraries of up-to-date, maintained code and data that can be built on by other scientists.

Before Twitter, there was IRC. When Twitter is gone, IRC will still be here to dance on its smoldering remains.
When humanity has gone extinct, cockroaches will still be using IRC.
