I think if the "burns" are long enough, it will be sufficient to extract net energy... actually... All that depends on how much burn heat we can get from those ~30mins burns... :)

Currently coding my little wayland compositor... for AMD GPUs, in RISC-V assembly running on x86_64 with a x86_64 assembly written little interpreter. Getting ready. Dunno if I'll reach something usable... you know... IRL interferences

Meanwhile... the "steam client" on elf/linux is still 32bits and hardcoded for x11/GL (nope, no tables of functions with wayland/vulkan/gpu fallbacks...) ... and don't forget about those bash-only scripts

Getting mixed signals about this. Lies are flying all over. I'll need to check that by myself one day. What's seems to be really sure though is the filth of rust syntax complexity on par with the other filthy one, c++.

If you think google and microsoft are good examples, good on you :). That said... I have been having seriously mixed signals about this. In the end, I'll have to check that by myself to get a final answer to who is lying here. And ther

I am talking C without any runtime: machine code or data are _ONLY_ from the C code (and OS interaction is done with raw syscalls). Can I do the same in rust?

I want to have fine-grained and full control over memory management. Can rust generate usefull machine code without a runtime and having to break one leg like C?

GPU is all about performance. Nearly all the time, very high level languages have nothing to do there. The CPU part of high level user applications will probably be written in very high level languages/runtimes with, sometimes, some ot

It would mean we need more RISC-V performant hardware. Because the real and honnest way out from C is assembly (with super high level languages with interpreters written in assembly). And it means a worldwide royalty free standard. I guess

The general idea is 'ultra complex syntax' languages does not belong to the kernel. That said, inline assembly should be optional and many c11 ISO tantrums should not be there too...

It is sad to see that much attention given to LLM in comparison to the other types of AIs like those doing maths (strapped to a formal solver), folding proteins, etc. We had a talk about those physics AIs using those maths AIs to design ha

Don't use rust for game dev for linux: the rust toolchain has been buggy since 2015 and is unable to statically link libgcc.

I am already dreaming of the day I'll play AAA games on my RISC-V workstation (on a linux based OS, probably without ELF binaries anymore though). Or have a RISC-V smart phone, with my own linux based OS.
