Shamir, Rivest, and Aldleman really commit to their answer about the possibility of playing mental poker. https://apps.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a066331.pdf

Experimental MicroPython build for the ResMed S10 CPAP machines thanks to Airbreak.dev: https://github.com/osresearch/micropython/tree/airbreak/ports/stm32/boards/AIRBREAK

Brushless DC motor slowly runs open loop, back EMF data looks super noisy. https://github.com/osresearch/micropython/commit/c39842f4c3712275a6cad4fbb235b32b526ecfdb

A flawless victory of aesthetic form over function.

Three phase open loop fail. Overcurrent triggers, watchdog shuts down the system.

Turkeys lay eggs, too!

MicroPython says hello from the CPAP machine.

Signal that the tulip bubble has burst

Achievement unlocked: just used a fixed length non-capturing negative look behind assertion in a regular expression.

This 1984 reboot looks weird

Life is returning to the canals of Amsterdam.

Announcing airbreak, a toolkit to jailbreak inexpensive CPAP machines to turn them into emergency #COVID19 ventilators by unlocking all operational modes and allowing custom software extensions. https://airbreak.dev/

Trash birds show how to maintain distance.

Now with the 4-bit palette decoding! It appears to be a simplified form of the Windows 4-bit RLE BMP format, without the alternating runs and without the alignment restrictions.

I think the data are correctly decoded, now to figure out how the palette is encoded.

No wait, that's worse.

Getting closer!

That's almost the bitmap I'm looking for.

That is not the bitmap I was looking for.

It's feeling a little bit Burning Man.
