This is good to see! Ultimately a FOSS project lives or dies on contributors and contributions from them. Seeing this grow is a sign of health and for servo this is great to see!

One example where Rust enables better and faster abstractions is traits. C you can do this with some ugly methods like macros and such but in Rust it’s not the implementers choice it’s the callers choice whether to use dynamic dispatch (fun

How would time slicing work?

It has literally split the ecosystem I’m not sure why people think it hasn’t. There’s basically embassy then everything else. Embassy has been quite successful in large part because its primary author took the time to make it good. If you l

Show me how time slicing or deadline scheduling would work with multiple priorities (InterruptExecutor's) involved. Show me how a task in an InterruptExecutor would priority boost a task of a lower priority, switch to it, then switch

I think you had the wrong idea on security here, the security is for the device manufacturers benefit to obsolete the hardware and force you to buy a new one not for your benefit. All the data is already being shipped off to where the hell

NPU is space that would've probably been better put into something like a low power programmable DSP core, which they more or less are depending on which one you are looking at but with some preconceived ideas on how to feed the DSP it

I've read this, and frankly its comparing apples to oranges. These are not the same things though naively they may appear the same.

It doesn't have anything to do with it. It's some nice syntax over cooperative multitasking.

It’s more like you need to program a dataflow rather than a program with instructions or vliw type processors. They still have operations but for example I don’t think ethos has any branch operations.

How async works with embassy is also interesting. In effect it works like a work queue, when something is waiting on a waker (interrupt) and is woken, the Future (task) is enqueued to be polled (run) by the executor. There’s good and bad th

It turns out that you don’t have to love your customers to make money. Abuse is the end state of most products once they’ve reached a point where there are few if any customers left to enthrall but still the world demands ever greater prof

Intel famously pivoted from memory. Maybe it’ll still get to where Pat wanted it to go as a foundry in its most recent pivot attempt, unclear yet.

AI has had a net negative on my life and created negative value for me and my family. It's raising my power rate. It's stealing my ideas and creative output. All to enrich a select few assholes who didn't need any more enrich

I wonder how this will work with AI stuff generating code without any source or attribution. It’s not like the LLMs make this stuff up out of thin air it comes from source material.

I suppose it depends on the model, code was useless. As a lossy copy of an interactive Wikipedia it could be ok not good or great just ok. Maybe for creative suggestions and editing it’d be ok.

We have new grads, they could not be replaced by AI. If you have new grads AI can replace I’m not sure why it required a college degree.
