My comment:

If you only look at capital flows then you will never be able to find any solution to the problems. You have to look at material and energy flows and at the web of dependencies they create and then at how that web would look in a properly functioning (i.e. sustainable) economy. A very important part of this analysis is information, knowledge and the necessary human skills to realise any industry. Economists try to understand all this by abstracting all the details away and then end up talking absolute nonsense about value as if it is measured in US dollars. 

We need to build stable systems with convergent dynamics. See Jenann Ismael - Laplace meets Godel: How Self reference Foils Prediction.

Hitachi HD44780U LCD Display Fonts

I finally got the bit-mapped fonts from the Hitachi "1602" display :  Here's some JavaScript: const HD44780U01ASCII=[ [],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[], [],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[], [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ], [4, 4, 4, 4, 0, 0, 4, 0, 0, 0, ], [10, 10, 10, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ], [10, 10, 31, 10, 31, 10, 10, 0, 0, 0, ], [4, 15, 20, 14, 5, 30, 4, 0, 0, 0, ], [24, 25, 2, 4, 8, 19, 3, 0, 0, 0, ], [12, 18, 20, 8, 21, 18, 13, 0, 0, 0, ], [12, 4, 8, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ], [2, 4, 8, 8, 8, 4, 2, 0, 0, 0, ], [8, 4, 2, 2, 2, 4, 8, 0, 0, 0, ], [0, 4, 21, 14, 21, 4, 0, 0, 0, 0, ], [0, 4, 4, 31, 4, 4, 0, 0, 0, 0, ], [0, 0, 0, 0, 12, 4, 8, 0, 0, 0, ], [0, 0, 0, 31, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ], [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 12, 12, 0, 0, 0, ], [0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 0, 0, 0, 0, ], [14, 17, 19, 21, 25, 17, 14, 0, 0, 0, ], [4, 12, 4, 4, 4, 4, 14, 0, 0, 0, ], [14, 17, 1, 2, 4, 8, 31, 0, 0, 0, ], [31, 2, 4, 2, 1, 17, 14, 0, 0, 0, ], [2, 6, 10, 18, 31, 2, 2, 0, 0,...

RISC-V Peripheral Idea - A High-Speed LVDS Link for a Modern Transputer

Image
Thinking about the  TinyTapeout RISC-V Peripherals  experiment: That  Pico ICE FPGA Trainer Board  will be able to prototype a high-speed serial bus interconnect which could also be the basis for a RISC-V CPU peripheral that would be the moral equivalent of a Transputer serial-link. Each node could be a RISC-V with four links to its neighbours. LVDS drivers like the Analog Devices ADN4665 and ADN4666 , connected via low-cost SATA cables. The hardware could handle the  8b/10b encoding  and interface to DMA channels, which would be another peripheral that would probably be quite a severe test of the project infrastructure, but for the prototype the FPGA could probably be interfaced with the RP2040's DMA somehow, even if it was just via GPIO pins. There is even a Lattice Reference design for an 8b/10b encoder that you could download and drop-in.   45:31 "Is it still relevant?"  Subscribe to CSS Bristol .
