Well, it is available for free either way. They pissed off their user base all for a horse that had already left the stable. https://academictorrents.com/details/2d056b22743718ac81915f2...

Do they interact at all with the main rust community? It seems a little disingenuous to describe "community" as including people who haven't even attempted to interact with anyone in the community other than forking their cod

I agree it's mostly only used in conjunction with bullshit, but during a hype bubble a lot of the users of that phrase don't fully realize they're spouting bullshit, and it's used in earnest.

One of the least fun things about a hype bubble is that I legitimately can't tell when people are joking anymore.

I've heard some inside stories from microsofties. They do still review code, but the first wave of layoffs in 2022 mainly hit principal engineers and above because some bean counters said "oh, these are the engineers that are cost

A compiler isn't using a statistical model of language more complex than anyone could understand with a lifetime of study to do its translation, adheres to a standard for that translation, and if you're important enough (and Micro

Rewriting Microsoft's 10s if not 100s of millions of lines of native code in four years doesn't sound that wild to you?

by monocasa 10mo ago
There's a nearly incalculable difference between bumping a compiler version and rewriting it in a different language.

My read is Rewrite it in Rust™ for the whole MS native language codebase, but with AI doing the heavy lifting of the rewrite. Except the heavy part of the rewrite would be the review process, and I would hope they aren't trusting that

My read was rewriting one million lines of code per engineer month using ML to do the heavy lifting. Which is absolutely batshit. There's no way that can be reviewed properly, even if it's putting all of the review work on all of

The number of memory safety CVEs written in C by people who ostensibly 'didn't need training wheels' point strongly to the antithesis of your argument. And I say that as someone who's been a kernel engineer for 20 years.

It does still have object level memory safety, so it has that going for it still more than C or even a wasm based VM would.

It goes a bit deeper than that since they got funding in the wake of 9/11 and the requests for intelligence and investigative branches of government to do better and coalescing their information to prevent attacks. So "panopticon

Well, they run javacard, which is a far cry from normal java or even jme. No char, double, float or long types. No arrays with more than one dimension. New creates persistent objects in something like flash with no runtime garbage collect

Idk, it looks like most of what this person is complaining is that they don't see a lot of this in high volume consumer products. But like, most high volume comsumer products don't have to crank nearly the same amount of torque e

I imagine this is mostly an acquihire to bolster the same teams that the Nuvia acquisition did.
382.
by monocasa 11mo ago
My guess is that this was mostly an acquihire. I had heard that Ventana had a lot of people that were laid off from Intel for instance.
383.
by monocasa 11mo ago
The $2B deal with Intel fell through. Thought they were arguably worth more on paper then. My guess is that they're in a weird place where a fair offer at the moment is less than the investment they've gotten so far.

They almost got bought by Intel, but then even Intel noped out. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-failed-to-buy-sifive

Ventana's cores were 15 instruction wide, massively out of order cores that on paper compete with the application cores in Apple's M series SoCs. They're a totally different gate count niche than a Cortex-M equivalent.

64 bit generally adds about 20% to the size of the executables and programs as t to last on x86, so it's not that big of a change.

Even the open source drivers without those hacks are massive. Each type of card has its own almost 100MB of firmware that runs on the card on Nvidia.

Maybe, it's unclear at the moment. Apple is known to be one of the kings of putting their suppliers over a barrel. There's a good chance this is mainly a move to negotiate a better deal with TSMC, and even if it's not, the c

A lot of the RISC architectures do something similar (sign extend rather than zero extend) when using 32 ops on a 64 bit processor. MIPS and PowerPC come to mind off of the top of my head. Being careful about that in the spec basically le

Yeah, the reason for that is that it's expensive in PPA for the size of an L1 cache to exceed number of ways times page size. The jump to 48kB was also a jump to 12 way set associative. As an aside, zen 1 did actually have a 64kB (and
