@penguin42@mastodon.org.ukWoohoo! Life out of one of my Sun3/60's!
You could say my transistor tester fixed it - I took the 3 through-hole transistors off the small daughter card, tested them, and soldered them back - and it's alive!
And it's repeatedly arrive, even the next day.
My reading of the service manual is that flashing LED means it's trying to boot; so time for a serial lead!

@nemorosa@mastodon.nuThis year, all hallows and Halloween happens on the same night. One is a spooky feast for children and the other is a solemn time when we're remembering those who have gone before us.
We can do both. Because that's life.
The graveyards are incredibly beautiful and quiet, and the candles are burning in the darkness. Now it's time to get the child from her party.
Because we can, and must, hold both joy and sadness with the same hand, in one heart.

I have a feeling that the career of this game is going to be easier to complete by unlocking as much as possible, replaying events to gain more fans, unlocking faster and better cars, and going back to previous events to unlock the bosses.

@pre@boing.worldFascinating Mindscape this week as Erik Winfree talk about information and dna and robots.
He describes how if you put molecules into a solution and let them settle, they come to equilibrium. But if you heat, cool, re-heat, in a cycle, the molecules can capture energy from the heat into a meta-stable state which, when they are cooling, they can release in a very programmed way.
we have these little dna-units that start assembling into a two-dimensional crystal, during that crystal-growth ... right next to the melting temperature of the crystal which is where you get the lowest error rates, at this point molecules are assembling/dissembling, coming on, coming off, but they're all doing a computation, they're creating that tapestry that is an algorithmic pattern tapestry.
But they are doing it for as close to zero energy as you want, the closer you run to the melting temperature of the crystal, the less free energy difference there is when a piece comes in, vs when a piece falls out, and so the system is naturally exploring this regime Charles Bennett was talking about...
To get the lowest error rates you introduce a form of proof-reading... not which burns energy to do so but a form of self-assemby proof-reading which is based on cooperative interactions. So the growth-process can't go forward unless two things come together at the same time, and of one of them missassembles then the other one won't fit and self-assembly stalls out.
You can prove some interesting things about the kenetic and error-rate trade-off based on the co-operativity (the type of self-assembled pattern)
