Can anyone recognize this IC? Looking for its p/n and a datasheet ideally. Handles all the analog audio paths in a portable cassette player.

EDIT: A knock-off of Mitsumi LAG668F.

In the U.S, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that police can access your Google searches without a warrant.

The court's reasoning: users have no expectation of privacy because "it is common knowledge that websites, internet-based applications, and internet service providers collect, and then sell, user data."

That's what "free" really means. The business model depends on turning your search history into a detailed profile that can be sold, shared, and accessed by third parties.

Couldn't they really not wait until 5th Jan for the next shitstorm ffs?

This has been very fun to develop. I've added tons of cities and I'm looking to add more cities. I'm taking requests :)

LLMs will lead you to lose skills that you are not going to get back because your brain will change and have no patience anymore to do the hardwork that needs to be done. That will be one of the fundamental problems of this tech.

@wolf480pl @filippo This is the use-case what I see among my non-programmer friends: simple little apps that they can't, others won't write (for a reasonable price). Also, usually 0 risk (think: "will I get a notification about a show").

One thing to keep in mind is that all these services are currently provided at a loss for the providers. It will be interesting to watch what happens when prices start to approach actual costs and expected margins.

@mttaggart Oh I was thinking in the context of bounties where you only need one PoC! Doing QA for guiderails must not only be horrible but also pointless for the reasons stated above. Nobody should do that job.

@mttaggart I think this is a choose your own poison type of situation. E.g. I'm pretty sure I won't hurt myself and having a conversation like that is also legal AFAIK, so that sounds like a decent demo. Obviously one with depression shouldn't do that. That being said, you are right that the receiving end (e.g. BB program operators) are in a less fortunate situation...

@mttaggart In case of agentic stuff you can "just" pop calc, and in case of natural language output ("say harmful things") the words by themselves are not dangerous. My bigger problem is how do you define vulnerabilities in a system where controls are usually just another non-deterministic pattern matcher system? It is *bound* to let things slip!

A great piece on the value and importance of blogs, and a call to begin blogging (or in my case, resolving to post regularly again).

No matter how silly or inconsequential a topic may seem, if it’s interesting enough that you spend days doing it, it’s probably worth blogging about.

Share your work. Out of billions of people, there’s *always* gonna be someone who appreciates what you’ve done.

@troed Thanks for the additional info! Pulling old firmware stinks bad, even if this particular incident was a result of a random bug.

@troed Thanks for the tip! Wasn't there some shitshow around them lately too though?

Anyway, I've been specifically wanting a somewhat open printer to be available - it's insane that you can 3D print, analyze high freq signals, etc. with open options, yet putting ink on paper is still a challenge (precision manufacturing, ink chemistry, etc.)!
