   Obviously that matters, but how much does it matter? Does it matter if you don't learn anything about computer architecture because you only code in JS all day? Very situational.

   OT but I see your account was created in 2015, so I'm assuming very late in your career. Curious what brought you to HN at that time and not before?

   In some ways, I'd say we're in a software dark age. In 40 years, we'll still have C, bash, grep, and Mario ROMs, but practically none of the software written today will still be around. That's by design. SaaS is a rent s

   Are you interested in having xcc700 ported to RISC-V, or want to keep it focused on Xtensa? I have a dream of building a simple C89 compiler that targets RISC-V and Wasm and runs on esp32-c6 someday.

   We should have an argument about how WASM would be the perfect app format for this.

   Things change when the underlying assumptions change. Memory protection is mostly useful for multitasking, but traditional multitasking isn't always needed when your entire app starts faster than Windows can minimize a program.

   I'm loving my C6, and the P4s look like an absolute beast. I'm not ready for that kind of firepower yet.

   Obviously the dependencies are way too heavy currently, but I do wonder long term if we'll have simple, highly portable zig compilers.

   Hey you're the xcc700 guy! Very cool stuff. I've been interested lately in using MCUs for general purpose compute. I wonder how far you could push it.

    Can you expound on this problem a bit? I'm still pretty new to MCUs.

    I run my agents with full permissions in containers. Feels like a reasonable tradeoff. Bonus is I can set up each container with exactly the stack needed.

    How does it compare to Beeware?

    I've been looking into this recently. It seems to be possible with the right kind of controller: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWtTmmne6Bo Also the newer esp32-p4s have MIPI DSI onboard which apparently can do smooth

    > It’s like an echo chamber of the same mannerisms, which must be right in the center of the probability distribution for responses. Sounds like most communities on the internet these days to me.

    Are they not using a ton of ML to take exactly this sort of context into account?

    If you're not familiar with RetroArch I highly recommend checking it out. Very cool tech.

    Almost. The key difference is I can log in to Discord once and post in unlimited communities. The auth UX is excellent. Joining communities is very cheap. We need an open protocol of this concept.

    We don't need large scale social networks in the first place. The Discord model of small communities is the way forward. Keep groups small enough for natural human social rules to apply. Slows down global dissemination of information f

    Have you tried it on Tailscale at all? Could be super useful but sadly TS doesn't support mDNS: https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/issues/1013

    I know genii is the plural of genie, but for a second I thought it was a typo of genai and I kind of like that better.

    There's no such thing as secure or insecure, only more secure or less secure.

    Bone dry here in Utah. Just as local government has been lowering their guard on the Great Salt Lake issue due to a couple strong snowpack years. Really hope we're proactive in response to the lack of snow.
