No boot sequences
(being annoyingly pedantic) technically there is a boot sequence: the Gameboy logo. on the DMG there’s a little blob of code from 0x0000 to 0x00ff that clears some memory, sets up the screen, reads the logo from cartridge memory and scrolls it. the loader only jumps to the game if the logo is byte-identical (the idea being that unlicensed games could be sued for trademark infringement.)
on the GBC the loader is a little beefier but mostly the same.
t. made a horribly broken FPGA core for the GBC that got just far enough to load the Tetris intro

the amount of consumer goodwill that statement bought easily pays for any losses from the hotdogs. companies seem hellbent on torching their brand reputation for short-term gains these days.
- Comment on just p-hack it. 1 month ago:
if they existed they’d be killer for RL. RL is insanely unstable when the distribution shifts as the policy starts exploring different parts of the state space. you’d think there’d be some clean approach to learning P(Xs|Ys) that can handle continuous shift of the Ys distribution in the training data, but there doesn’t seem to be. just replay buffers and other kludges.
- Comment on So um, america just started another war in the middle east. We're going to need a shit ton more memes to distract americans from the nightmare they are enduring. Thanks in advance... 1 month ago:
I have no clue what to do. I’m American. I’m trans. I voted for Harris. I live in a blue state. I’ve gone to protests. I’ve talked to state senators about legislation. I’ve canvassed. I’ve talked to Trump supporters and tried to get them to change their minds.
it all feels totally useless. nothing I’ve done has had any effect. it’s like being chained to an anvil and thrown overboard. I’m swimming but I’m still drowning.

I actually don’t. :) it’s the first thing I disable on my phone. I only capitalize “I” specifically, and proper nouns.
again though, my issue is one with producing the Unicode character of the specific em-dash glyph. maybe some phones automatically convert dashes to em-dashes based on context but I personally wouldn’t know how it’s done.
- Comment on A Completely Natural Conversation in the NYC Reddit 1 month ago:
no no, you misunderstand. I’m not talking about the verbal flourish of dashes for interjection - I use those all the time, in this very sentence - I’m specifically talking about producing the specific Unicode character (—) instead of just using the normal ASCII dash (-). the only way I can make the actual em-dash character is by long-pressing. if I do – or —, it’s just a sequence of normal dash glyphs for me.

I buy all my groceries from Omega Mart, like a normal person.
- Comment on A Completely Natural Conversation in the NYC Reddit 1 month ago:
I use dashes all the time, but em-dashes? I don’t even know how to type those. I guess I could long-press the dash on my phone and select it, but… why?

it was an art piece, not a serious product idea. they weren’t pitching it to Trojan, all it purported to do was make a “statement.”
it’s like an OmegaMart product, basically.
