Until everything new is "optional". Hopefully PNG won't be the target of "enshitification". We all know that for file formats, there is a very strong pressure from developers and vendors for that to happen since it

To be fair, I am more interested in a 4G/5G modem to connect some modular computer. A smart phone is an expensive one. Do you know of a simple modern 4G/5G modem, USB? Only IPv4/IPv6 bridge, I guess you need USB CDC or someth

I wrote "cannot", because this is a power struggle: either you suffer all the corpo grade tantrums (accutely technically toxic) of valve and work on the lack of elf/linux knowledge of most game devs (generation of "corre

You "cannot": the steam client is a 32bits ELF executable requiring x11 and opengl (no 64bits, no wayland->x11 fallback, no GL->internal CPU rendering). People have been asking valve a "less disgusting client" for

I have to buy such a smart phone hardware: issue, I won't run android for sure, probably something based on a super custom linux. I will need open source and _LEAN_ drivers (including their SDK) with complete hardware programming manua

In my EU country we have age verified wallet-codes. No weird tech, certainly no whatng cartel browser required.

In order to do that, you have to consider the technical plane, or big tech will work around everything, maliciously: we need _lean_ open source software (including the SDK) and protocols, stable in time. This will foster real-life citizen&#

huh, a load which happens to hit the store queue should be faster that usual since it does not even need to reach the cache fabric, shouldn't it?

tautology: _WEB_ apps = 2.5 engines of the whatng cartel (nothing to be proud of...) windows apps = compatible microsoft windows implementations. apple apps = macos.

Tiny _WEB_ apps, namely it requires one of the 2.5 web engines from the whatng cartel (2.5 because blink is a fork of webkit).

AMAZING! YT-DLP FOR AIS! Well, I am going to test that very soon. The thing which may be a blocker: if it requires the credentials of an already created account, creation gated behind one of the web engines from the whatng cartel... back to

You can give a set of test cases?

I use noscript/basic (x)html browsers: I get only a 'enable javascript' thingy. Is there a clean web portal for this? Or could you pastebin that stuff on a decently implemented online service like https://paste.c-n

Is claude able to write rv64 assembly code? For instance can you asked for a vector-based quicksort? Well, with a "vector size unit" of a "standard" cache line, namely 512bits/64bytes (rv22+ profile).

Anybody with deep knowledge of current RISC-V opensource implementations here? Do harts have store queue and load queue optimizations? Namely some kind of memory request fusion? I asked this question because since I am writing rv64 assembly

Yes, I said C, since there are many real-life alternative compilers.

by sylware 1y ago
Dude, I cannot be more explicit than that. That said, when you work on such code, use assembly, C code is for reference (have a look at dav1d av1 decoder).

What? It all depends on the sizes of the strings. Hardware benchmarks, for each significant hardware µarchitectures, must be done on combinations of string sizes in order to know "when" the SIMD setup code is worth it. Often the

What is the string sizes thresold for efficiency? Because the SIMD (aligned, size computations, etc) setup code is usually more expensive that byte-oriented basic search for "small" strings. Yes, it depends heavily on the hardware

OMG, this is not completely brain damaged c++ code lost in the middle of one of the web engines from the whatng cartel??? or C code with one billion dependencies with absurd SDKs??? Quick! Quick! I need to find something bad about it... wai

Huh? They are just making official what has been happening since the beginning. We all know the military and some other services are taping into meta worldwide spying network.

Hopefully, they have now a reactive security team, because I do not count the harcking bots/ip scanners they are protecting on their "cloud".

The issue is not with the level of testing of the API. The issue with the level of testing new implementations of the API will have. Since this API is grotestequely and absurdely complex, expect hell for new implementations to acheive a goo

Last time I had a quick look, zink did seem far from being finished, I mean very far away. The main issues for xwayland+zink are the middle ground applications: those which are x11/vulkan3D without wayland support, if I am not mistaken
