Would this be reasonable material on which to fine tune the new Gemma 3 270M model?

Could this work with cloudflare d1 since it uses an sql-lite interface?
True! It has some similarities with PICO-8. Both are based on the simple, imperative programming languages of the past. QX82 is far less ambitious than PICO-8: it's just a library, not a full product + ecosystem. I didn't put in the niceties of an IDE and sprite editor and such, but it's also free and open-source and can be used anywhere and can be extended or taken apart as much as needed, as it's all just Javascript. It's a more "open" approach, let's say. It was also not made by a company: it was made by me, a random guy on the internet, who enjoys retro games :-D
Thank you for this wonderful and accessible library. So Graphically, the creative space appears to be limited to 256 individual custom characters in the sprite sheet and only one sprite sheet at a time. Spent some of the week considering xterm.js to create a game but after reviewing the api this looks to be a better fit for my dreams. Would really like to use this library to create an experience similar to “caves of qud”. Do you believe that is reasonable?

The handshake between business and labor was just one component of a vast, cross-partisan campaign to protect the election–an extraordinary shadow effort dedicated not to winning the vote but to ensuring it would be free and fair, credible and uncorrupted.
Without being glib, this is called "doing your job as a citizen".
Protect the election from what?
Fair trade policy has consistently been the one thing on which I agree with the Trump presidency.
It hasn't been enough to outweigh all the other absolutely horrible stuff, but it is one thing.
I am concerned that Biden will return us to the old days of "free" trade that allows corporations to import totalitarianism via near-slave or even actual slave (see Uyghur prisoners and forced labor) wage arbitrage to crush domestic wages and liquidate the middle class. This isn't even getting into the export of environmental destruction ("out of sight out of mind") or the export of American technological expertise to unfriendly totalitarian states.
H1B programs can be shady this way too. It's not as shady as actual slave labor or near-slave sweatshops, but there is certainly a serious power imbalance when your employer can pay you sub-standard wages and threaten to cause you to be deported if you don't keep your head down.
This undecided voter would appreciate the gesture of you sharing with me some examples of the “other absolutely horrible stuff”.
