  • Building the Aliexpress Star Trek Enterprise D (Not LEGO)

    I built the knock-off Enterprise-D from Star Trek the Next Generation.

    Overall, I'm pleased with it and had fun during the build. It took about four days.

    The fit and finish isn't as nice as real LEGO, and I tried to get some pictures of the small gaps between pieces. I only had one missing piece out of 3600.

    The biggest challenge is organizing the 60+ bags of pieces as I worked my way through the build. Definitely have a plan for that, especially if you have kids running around.

  • Billion row challenge: parsing temperatures fast(ish)

    I watched Jon Gjengset taking on the one billion row challenge and got interested in one small corner of it: parsing temperatures, and in particular parsing temperatures in a "branchless" style - with no if statements - to help the CPU run the code as fast as possible. In the end, the results were surprising.

    After the stream I added a version of Jon's parse_temperature to the comparison. His version assumes we already know where the semicolon is, so I had to add code to find it, and I didn't use the SIMD code he used to do that because it requires unstable Rust. With those caveats, my version was 4x faster(!). However, I'm pretty sure we're going to need to find that semicolon ourselves if we take on the full challenge, so this is not a fair comparison.

    Also after the stream I realised I'm pretty sure there is a simple improvement I can make to branchy to make it even faster...

  • Divoom Pixoo 64 Review: Great Hardware, Bad Software

    The Pixoo 64 is a great looking piece of hardware that I wanted to like. But after getting it into the studio and putting it through its paces, the verdict is in, the software is a mess. Between the data hungry mobile app and "real-time" counters that lag behind by many hours, it is hard to justify the $159.99 price tag.

    In this video, I am looking at the technical failures that make this more of a toy than a tool for creators. I’ll show you why the API integration is broken and why I’m pointing my audience toward open-source alternatives like the Ulanzi TC001 instead.
