Yep, there was a signal to help reverse engineer c++, as it could have been good at helping c++ mass porting to plain and simple C. But recently this signal got somewhat scrambled, or being sabotage by c++ fan boys (those coding AIs would h

microsoft destroyed github: they were careful at keeping classic web (noscript/basic (x)html) support for their core features... and after being bought, everything broke steps by steps. Now, you must have a whatng cartel web engine to

Oh boy... it is the other way around. Those "computing environments" are filthy toxic, they should not even exist and they broke what was rather sane. With their "computing environments', you get planned obsolescence (th

Expected, they have a lot to catchup, and this is very hard to keep positive motivation and organize efficiently their pool of scientists/engineers in authoritative regimes.

It is all about the openness and complexity of the technical interfaces, INCLUDING THE SDK (Software Development Kit). Those interfaces must be straight to the point without convolution, I should be able to write assembly code which would i

you mean they were explicitely threaten? If so they should go public about it.

Can I use Mistral Vibe without a whatng cartel web engine? Namely, classic web (noscript/basic (x)html), or a dynamic web API with some public tokens? (using a set of CURL commands). If there is a requirement of account creation (often

Is it possible for the common people to access mistral? And that without being gated by a 'whatng cartel' web engine?

:( So that signal is that good. Back to manual c++ to simple and plain C porting then.

The legacy definitions: - hardware ISA abstraction - some help to increase "productivity" Modern definitions: - planned obsolescence mechanism. - the more complex is the syntax, the more dev lock-in and dependency on ultra comple

I wish EU could resist big tech international finance with the same strength. But corruption may let it happen anyway, with a bit more covolution and internationalization.

Sad dillo is c++, I would have compiled it with a small and alternative plain and simple C compiler like cproc/qbe or tinycc. That said, there is a signal about coding AI able to do a really good job at assisting to port c++ to plain a

I write to myself, since I have an old existing and configured microsoft github.com account, I managed to get a working API key... for now... They broke most classic web support, but not completely then with a bit of smart, I manage to do i

If RISC-V is a success, all that will become core RISC-V ISA assembly, hopefully.

mathematics do not approve twitter links as they are gated with whatng cartel web engines.

What is fabulous is most of them are useless without a 'whatng cartel' web engine: usually you cannot get a token without being forced to use one as you need to, most of the time: 1 - create an account (and often you don't ha

Just code using c++ (or in a language with a similar syntax complexity or a massive runtime, java, microsoft rust, etc). It gets even better with ISO regular feature creep: you'll find always a dev to manage to make hard dependent on t

In 2015/2016, the president (Hollande), and its prime minister (Valls) did install a document which is "law", about technical directives for the gov and its agencies/dependencies. This document was probably written by bi

As far as I was told, this is not enough, you have to add extra legal care, even more if you are on an 'executive' type job contract, and you have to double that if there is "too much" connection/"look-a-like&q

It is even worse in France: if you code open source "on the side" of you work, at home, the company which employs you may claim the copyrights of it. I had to add explicit exclusion of this claim of copyrights in my job contracts

You could use cproc/qbe, tinycc, scc, etc. The more real-like C compiler implementations the better.

If so, I wonder how good a LLM c++ port to plain and simple C would look. It seems there is a signal (here on HN) that coding LLM would be really good at mass porting c++ code to plain and simple C to remove the c++ kludge dependency.

Should have been plain and simple C, or even assembly in the first place.
