I found a reproducible segfault in GCC.
Unfortunately it means the happy little IoT widget that was sent to me in the mail is hamstrung somewhat by this development.
At least it was free.

I use GCC a lot. When you get it figured out, can you share the specifics? or is proprietary?

It's not proprietary but right now it's involved to reproduce. So far to do it requires platformIO and compiling a specific part of the ESP-IDF 5.0 for the ESP32-S3 platform.
I'd like to simplify reproducing it, but I'm not sure how I can yet.

I haven't played Chess in over forty years, I think. Just started playing online at chess.com and loving every minute. I'm not very good but I am learning and having fun.
It's a nice break from the MMOs, World of Tanks, and first person shooters.

Have you seen the video about the hype with chess since December 2022 ? chess.com had about 6 millions subscribers, went over 10 millions within 6 weeks...

I play competitive chess IRL regularly. I love lichess.org. It is 100 % free of advertising and constantly nagging "once-in-a-lifetime" offers. The GUI is clean, slick, and loads much faster than that unmentionable site.
Try it.

I am going to check this site out this weekend, for sure. I have seen it mentioned in other forums too. I think they don't have any bots to play/practice with and chess.com does, but a lot of it is the same.

I enjoy chess on chess.com and on lichess.org
I am usually surprised at the analysis after the game where I see moves that I might-have-done-if-only. That's where most of my learning happens, seeing my mistakes, especially the subtle ones. (Blunders I usually realize right away!)
I feel that I'm getting better (my ratings go up gradually). I doubt I'll ever excel, but it's fun, plus it's like exercise for concentration.

The analysis is amazing, at least for beginners like me. I try to play bots for now, unassisted, and then see how many blunders and mistakes I made. nice.

Yes. invite me as pk06 - willing to play a game. (allow 5-7 days/move, not 10-minute games).

I've been playing since 2016 and am currently in the grueling 35,000 player 2023 Daily Chess.com Tourney. 1 day per move, play 11 others twice in your group, and only the top player moves to the next round. Oh well... made it to round 2 anyway! Highly recommend chess.com. They have had issues this year on handling the swell of new players as their database had became overwhelmed quite a few times. It seems they've added the firepower now to handle most of it.

I picked it up about 3 years ago after decades away from the game. I rarely play a game on there (when I do it's against a bot), but I do my free puzzles each day and it's improved my game immensely (I also watch some YT creators). I'm certainly not a 2250 player, but my puzzle rating is that high; it's easier when you know the critical point of the game.
By the way, people totally didn't understand the cheating scandal last year. Average people, even some top-level chess players, assumed one had to have a method to get the best move at every turn: either some secret access to an engine or an associate with an engine and a way to signal the move.
Cheating could be as easy as the associate sending a signal (visual, coughing, or buzzing his pants) that tells the player he is currently facing a puzzle situation: that there is a move or series of moves that wins the game (winning a piece can win the game at those high levels).

The current AI (search) looks so good, because it was so bad in the past. The links I dug up over a period of weeks on a particular topic are now (simply) filtered better. Impressive if you never knew how to search properly in the first place.

wait till ALL the computers we use on an everyday basis interface with our bio metrics in real time, face, etc. and can "read" our moods, etc. and make recommendations for us based on that, and other things. - like being sick, cold, flu, etc. medical emergency, AI calls 911 for you without your confirmation, i.e. you go unconscious or are unresponsive...dead? the list goes on.

Already there: Mercedes added it to the E Class in 2016 as "Active Emergency Stop Assist" - if the driver stops steering and doesn't respond the car stops itself as safely as it can, hazards on, unlocks the car, and calls the emergency number.

My cycle computer has long been able to notify my wife by SMS if I unexpectedly hit the tarmac, self-inflicted or otherwise. Hardly something new (although by definition it has no need to bring the bike to a halt).
Good to see that cars are finally catching up!

Griff firmly presses the horn and the car says, "just take a deep breath, count to ten..."

However it doesn't work like the previous post suggests. The previous posts suggests that something will be monitoring the driver directly.
However the Mercedes is monitoring what the driver does. Specifically is the driver using (touching) the steering wheel and if the pedals are being used. Based on those inputs then it responds in a certain way.

I Google most of the time, and Bing occasionally if I am Microsoft focused. But in both cases I usually get a useful answer within the first few returned links. Maybe I don't go looking for certain questionable sites  .
