Any success at transpiling it to C? Using the cfront transpiler improved with coding AI? :)

Yep, an ABI (function call convention) is computer language agnostic. It is a binary specification. And in real life, only a subset of it is actually used. If they want to find something really obsolete, they better have a look at executabl

Look at directx.

I skimmed the article, is this guy actually advocating for planned obsolescence or did I miss something??

"When other languages have compiler specific extensions beyond the spec, it is a failure in their design." This one of the failures of Linus T. with the linux kernel: he was not able to keep the assembly source code with plain and

Hasn't been already the case for a while now? Oo (and I am french)

What is generated is not machine code, but 'human' assemby to input into an assembler (was nasm). It is much much better. Basically, if all that is really true, coding AIs may be our salvation from those abominations which are com

Obsolete: it should be a binary specification with various implementations, even assembly.

spinof topic: android is still that java thingy? Or is it finally a set of modular binary specifications which are computer language agnostic?

There are doing exactly that... slowly and surely... pure evil.

Namely AMD would have to publish the hardware documentation (for instance command packets) of anything specific to inference (unless, this is just their GPU doing only compute).

Your rumors have one less 0 than my rumors. :) I have no clue anyway.

by sylware 2mo ago
How???
75.
by sylware 2mo ago
Allright! Well, the rumors I got are around 100T for those frontier models: reading stuff here and there on internet, on discussion forums with guys pretending running AI models, etc. This is so hard to sort the true from the false nowadays

by sylware 2mo ago
My question is that wrong?

by sylware 2mo ago
I would prefer direct hardware kernel interface. Like linux DMABUFs with userland hardware command ring buffers (I guess this hardware ring buffer instance would be specific to a VMID and a PASID).

Rumors say chatgpt/claude/gemini/etc are in the 100s of teras. True?
79.
by sylware 2mo ago
Is their hardware programming interface reasonable for implementing inference of frontier models: no quantization, several tera params? BTW, how many many params open weight frontier models have? A few teras, 100s of teras?

Open source is not enough: _LEAN_ open source is a strong requirement today... and that includes syntax complexity of any used computer languages. The scammers are now doing open source vendor/dev lock-in via massive size and complexit

I think DMARC is missing email address with IPv[46] literals support. As being self-hosted, without paying the DNS mob, I am still blocked to send email to gmail.com because such email addresses do throw out of whack gogol code. Email addre

Weird. I download RSS from gogol: youtube channel information. Why, because the real evil of gogol and its friends: the whatwg cartel. Their web engines are technical abominations they pushed down the throat of the whole planet, because the

Well, in theory, with proper UTF-8 support you don't need to filter out anything. Unsupported unicode code points are just rendered using a place holder.

fasmg[12] is much more powerful than gas or nasm(~yasm): it is not a classic pre-processor. With CALM, it is basically a language able to implement assemblers supporting various binary file formats.
89.
by sylware 2mo ago
The pre-processor of an assembler is specific to that very assembler. For instance, with a C pre-processor, I have a very lean C pre-processor dialect which allows me to assemble simple x86_64 code with... fasmg[12] or nasm(probably yasm) o

I am more curious about how they would cleanly manage hierarchical labels (usually called "namespaces"), register naming, and stack management with deep register spilling, description of the register state on the various entries f
