@stefano Reading ability on some platforms is worrying. At the top of that post it says 10 min read. Whole 10 min worth of words. And there're no "Summarize it with ${MODEL_NAME} buttons". How are you supposed to read it? :)

@ukscone I read the book, really great.

The average level of certain comments on some platforms is truly worrying. Although English is not my native language, I believe it is quite clear that the first part of the latest blog post talks about my first experience with FreeBSD, in 2002. Yet some people keep saying that it is impossible that “with 64 GB of RAM you cannot use mutt while compiling” and they start with the insults.
I should know better by now, but every time it still makes me smile. 🙂

Quindi:
Prima, "possiamo distruggere il terminal petrolifero di Kharg quando vogliamo".
Poi, "Lasciamo uscire le petroliere iraniane dallo Stretto di Hormuz, vogliamo che il mondo sia ben rifornito".
Minus habentes ne abbiamo?U.S. is allowing Iranian oil tankers through Strait of Hormuz, says Bessent https://cnb.cx/4dn9XUn

LEGO Machine Plays Tic-Tac-Toe Without Electronics
Tic-Tac-Toe is a relatively simple game, and one of the few which has effectively been solved for perfect play. The nature of the game made it possible for [Joost van Velzen] to create a LEGO machine that can play the game properly in an entirely mechanical fashion.
The build features no electronics to speak of. Instead, it uses 52 mechanical logic gates and 204 bits of mechanical memory to understand and process the game state and respond with appropriate moves in turn. There are some limitations to the build, however—the game state always begins with the machine taking the center square. Furthermore, the initial move must always be played on one of two squares—given the nature of the game though, this doesn’t really make a difference.
It’s also worth heading over to the Flickr page for the project just to appreciate the aesthetics of the build. It’s styled in the fashion of an 18th-century automaton or similar. It’s also been shared on LEGO Ideas where it’s raised quite a profile.
If you’ve ever wanted to think about computing in a mechanical sense, this build is a great example of how it can be done. We often see some fun LEGO machines around these parts, from massive parts sorters to somewhat-functional typewriters.
