"Because I felt like it" is also a perfectly acceptable answer ;-)

Why wouldn't you?

I tried using an LLM to help me write some stuff and it simply didn't sound like I'd written it - or, it did but in a kind of otherworldly way.

The only way I can describe it is like when I was playing with LPC10 codecs (the 2400bps codec used in Speak'n'Spells, and other such 80s talking things). It didn't sound like me, it sounded like a Speak'n'Spell with my accent, if that makes sense.

No? Okay, if not, if you want I could probably record another clip to show you.

Shift registers. It's all done with shift registers.

All you need are NAND gates.

How good are you at blogging in your third language?

Ich? Nicht so gut, aber Ich kann veillicht ein bisschen posten auf Deutsch.

Agus co dhiù, bha Beurla an dàrnan cànan agamsa.

So if my posts in English (proper English, not North American "Simplified English") are a bit squint at times, blame that.

To what end? You can just look at the code. It's right there. You don't need to "hack" anything.

If you want to "hack on it", you're welcome to do so.

Would you like to take a look at some of my open-source projects your neighbour's kid might like to hack on?

I can get behind a God that just makes cool rocks.

Gabriel: "Hey, God, what's doing?"

God: "Oh, well, I just got a big lump of boron so I'm trying to get it to crystallise out with all this silicon and alumina. If it works I think I'll have the tiny people call it 'tourmaline'. Yeah, look at that stuff, look at it go!"

Most cows do eat grass and other stuff we can't eat.

"Hard feed" is made from crops grown as part of a rotation cycle, or from things like soya where 80% of it is only suitable for cattle feed.

> hay in the the winter

Here in the UK, we use silage because the weather is a bit too variable to trust with letting hay dry out. It feels like it's probably more energy-dense and has more nutrition in it, you certainly don't need to feed as much.

Other things that work well are sugar beet (grows well as part of a cycle of crop rotation, clears weeds pretty well) and all that barley left over from brewing beer and making whisky.

Even soya-based cattle feed is made from the tough cellulosey bits that humans can't eat. If you want to try, I'm sure I can get you some - but maybe have something on hand for the inevitable constipation because it is all fibre.

Yup, that's grass they're eating.
