A JIT should be able to translate most arithmetic and binary instructions to single-opcodes, however anything involving memory and functions calls needs safety checks that becomes multi-instruction. branches could mostly be direct _unless_

Google is just egerious on another level, the difference between them is that while Apple might clampdown on some obscure rule (or due to the random reviewer assignment), they're usually at least human and unless in litigation can be r

Judging by this analysis one simple approach would be to search for control-flow desynchronizations, ARM is easier since instructions are aligned on 2/4-bytes but the variable instruction format for x86/x64 is used here to make th

While I see a fair bit of elegance in your experiment, IMHO I also think that for it to be React-like and start mentioning code size one should at least handle structural changes (ie adding/removing items like in a todo-app). I made a

This is quite cursed, but does show that the .NET runtime system and JIT seems fairly robust even in the presence of this stupidity.

They have their own nn,etc libraries so adapting should be fairly focused and AMD drivers have a hilariously bad reputation historically among people who program GPU's (I've been bitten a couple of times myself by weirdness). I th

RocksDB has support for Ztd and preset dictionaries and it makes sense since it has the same kind of level-spans chunking being a fork of LevelDB. Entries are stored in-memory/logged (instead of put into a b-tree like classic DB's

More importantly, there's been a huge shift in the cost of tables vs multiplications. Back in the 80s and early 90s multiplication was expensive (multiple cycles) while tables were more or less "free" in comparison, today cac

PS3/XB360 level graphics still requires a fair bit of content and the web-game-ecosystem kinda died off with Flash and people moved onto mobile or focused on marketplaces like Steam/XBIndie,etc. I do think we're due for a new

Yes and no, Nintendo properties has a certain pull that aren't available for everyone. But also, I'm pretty sure that even the Switch 1 has far more capable graphics than WebGL 2. Doom Eternal is ported to it and reading a frame t

Thanks for correcting, I only remembered that 3.2 was the latest so went one down since I remembered compute wasn't part but seems it was in 2 steppings. :)

No, it's a valid complaint. Even before hardware raytracing a huge amount of code was moving to compute shaders, most global illumination techniques in the last 10-15 years is easier to implement if you can write into random indices (o

Like the article says, you can have _opaque_ references. It's really a small step forward but does address a major pain point. So for your first question. Yes you can hold a reference, so the major benefit is that dead objects via thin

That's the thing GP is saying, Google might excel in engineering and even build superior products, but the issue bringing them down these days is that they can't manage customers/partners/etc for shit and if they fumble

For all it's success it's still kind of a niche-language (and even with the amount of Google compiler developers, they're are spread thin between V8, Go, Dart,etc). I think the keys to Risc-V in terms of software will be, LLV

We decided to move away because PHP, JSP, etc was a mess with SQL codes and all other kind of form validation,etc code embedded into the pages together with CSS,etc. Yes it was a mess. However, IMHO people have gone overboard with layering

Most reasonable parsers has an allow-comments flag, and even in JS you could it in a simple regexp replace all with: const obj = JSON.parse(jsonText.replaceAll(/("(?:\\"|\\.|[^"]) "|[^\/])|\/\/. |(\&#

Developing for Electron you usually had a regular webpack server in the background to handle hot-reload cases and technically you could have a regular browser. In production however you don't want a browser for 2 reasons, first should

With players in control any jank will be quite obvious, the field did accelerate thanks to neural nets but there seems to have been a lot of focus on NeRFs and GS (This interactive demo seems to use GS) and classic triangle-geometry (especi

Some pros definetly, my target was mainly games so coherent and/or low cost handling of primitive values (numbers) was a priority. With NaN tagging you can do all operations sans addition with the regular floating point instructions an

I've built some prototypes and is there any particular reason you didn't go for NaN-tagged indexes instead unless it's for 32bit? Numeric cases would've had less loads since it's a number directly and indexes in the

Noticed that good old Visual Studio and some OSS tools supports .http files of the IntelliJ format so hopefully we can converge on them because the format is quite plain and obvious and doesn't contain too many surprises. https:/

Iirc the Katana devkit could be used to play commercial games so I wouldn't be surprised if some developers were part of the groups and if so writing a dumper was probably not hard. There was even a preview version of the game I worked

That is really ironic how many scold parents for being helicopter parents whilst saying kids today are weak because they didn't do shit they themselves did. But, it could also be an age-old thing where people who were neglected as kids
