There's been a 64 bit version of FoxPro for years and years [1].

No, not the official VFP as released by Microsoft, but a version made by a well known VFP developer.

Besides that I do know of some developers actually using this for building their software.

No connections here, just know that it exists and is used and well before LLMs became the answer to everything.

That is awesome! Checking it out. And the fact that is 100% compatible with vfp9 makes it a solid choice.

Never installed it myself, but the following might help in getting it set up:

Is there anything one can reasonably run on a mac mini M2 with just 24GB RAM or should I not even try?


It depends on your use case, but the smaller Gemma 4 models or qwen3.6:9b would probably run OK on that. I recommend trying it, even just for fun. It‘s easy with omlx.


Ok, will see if I can find some time for play. Thanks.


Not enough for coding. 48GB is minimum for a non-lobotomized coding model like qwen, and you'd likely want 64GB to have long context and not kernel panic when Chrome opens.

You could run one of the smaller Gemma models to have a chatty Wikipedia.


Figured that would be the case. Thanks.


It's not a consent, because the options are "Yes" and "Yes", you cannot opt out unless you quit the call.


I mixed it up and GP is right. But you are also right (which illustrates the point GGP was making)

If you and I are in a phone call (the target of the phone call located in a one-party consent jurisdiction), I can record it or you can record it without telling the other: that's one-party consent, because one of the parties of the call consents to it

At first glance that may sound pointless, but it means a third party outside the call (e.g. phone company) could not record it without one of us consenting

By notifying that the call is being recorded, that now can create two-party consent because you are still on the line (and thus implicitly agree to the recording, but as you and GGP point out that's not always considered consent enough) -- one-party consent would have been if the company on the other side of the line simply recorded the call without telling you


Is google lens still available? That's perhaps the only cloud feature I sometimes use, in order to translate Chinese text to English or similar.

Also is it possible to undo (in case there's something I don't like?) Is it just a matter of adding the app back to your account?


I switched back and forth between "with account"/"without account" a few times now and it seems to work just fine. I stay with the no-account state, as it not only removes the nags, the interface is actually much cleaner and more logical

No idea about Lens, because I never used it. Aren't there webapps or web services for everything these days? I do everything that I do only occasionally via webapps. Barcode parsing for example.


Just tried it. Google lens is fine, it does work.

However -some way or the other- it decided to only show pictures from 2024 and older. Something is messed up in that respect and thus I switched back.


This looks great! Thank you.


Interesting.

Do you happen to know if that batronix board useful to have even if you have a Rigol DHO 924S without the logic probe (PLA2216)?


Yes, it’s absolutely useful. You need the logic probe (which I do have, but never use in „standard“ teaching) only if you plan (or need) to monitor more input signals than the analog ones on the scope.

In fact, to demonstrate the very physical foundation of digital computing, it is very useful to use the analog inputs and zoom all the way in to see the slight imperfections in signal transmission.


Thank you!


Same in the Netherlands too.


that you're arguing with an LLM :)


he's not.


If you can't run a recent browser anymore then there's always the option to run the browser in a VM.


and then the chips stay in Asia?


then 5 pounds of chips on the way back is worth millions of dollars so it can be flown on a passenger jet or fedex jet that is already going here. or a boat and take up 3% of a container
