Maybe that's the reason why AI firms tried to monopolize ram, chips like AMD AI MAX 395 with AMD not being beholden or useful to the AI firms coupled with 128gb+ ram would probably have been capable of making home-hosted open models co

2 things can be true at the same time. I think the curl folks finding it underwhelming is more of a testament to their code being subjected to a lot of tests/attacks/auditing over the past years compared to many other codebases. I

Feels not entirely underpowered compared to ARM alternatives, does it have a somewhat decent battery life though?

Carmakers in Germany has a bit of blame for not moving quickly enough, but China hogging materials doesn't help. The chemical sector hit though feels more self-inflicted by the government that closed down nuclear plants to rely on Russ

Right, and AVX512 would thus be more relevant if ISPC-like features was mainstreamed in CPU bound C++ compilers.

Agreed, fixed with vectors needs to be a language feature, better compile times and would solve issues for most people. Personally, I think that like Clang way to adding GLSL like vectors and semantics would've gone a long way. SVE mig

There's one case, rural areas often have abundant energy sources (hydro, wind,etc) but few consumers, in Northern Sweden f.ex. a lot is produced but there's a lot of losses in transporting the energy south. Now, yes, as long as na

I think the idea is that the compressor is "meta" in the sense that it directs compressors as GP mentions by selecting what's actually producing the best results, so it's not just one comrpessor but a series of supported

I think self-modifying outside of JIT runtimes is a pretty rare thing these days compared to the 80s or 90s, .text sections are mostly RO these days and security requirements aren't going to decrease that.

Isn't part of that due to Rosetta relying on Apple extensions to ARM to mimic x86-64 memory semantics?

Valuetypes has been on the roadmap forever, meanwhile they put in the effort and bought out greenthreads out of retirement as virtual threads. Even if they started properly on valuetypes today, it's probably still a 10 year slog to get

For reference Adam Dunkels is the developer of lwIP and uIP ip-stacks , as well as the C64 "Contiki" OS that used the latter to do networking.

Getting to 200 was mostly a matter of upgrading tracks that needed maintenance anyhow in the 90s, in the 90s however cargo traffic wasn't causing as many disruptions and congestion as today and the talks about "new exclusive"

That "minor" detail seems to have been outside of all popular reporting I've read on the subject, any links to how large a part the EU would've contributed?

Having been on a board of a European non-profit(Scandinavia) in a "tricky" situation, I can kind of sense the issues between the lines, the letters of law commonly around non-profits and following strict interpretations of them _d

Perhaps it was about full-screen-bitmap(hblank tile-address/mapping switching) rather than full-screen-bitmap-animation?

It probably depends on how young one was, I was young enough to play it for a year or two before Doom appeared (also Doom was kind-of sluggish on my machine at the time).

Yeah, you really need to structure your code around working with the tilemap system. I did a small racing prototype with both vertical and horizontal scrolling and segmented my updates to 4x4 blocks of tiles per-frame (160x144 resolution so

Probably yes, the NES is "easier" in this regard since char-rom is read from cart (so a cart only needs to provide the bits in correct order), the GB(C)'s have video-ram that contains all parts so you need to transfer it over

Exactly, for all the hate of Windows, I could at least just look for shit named co-pilot and uninstall it for a pretty nice experience on my new computer. Phones aren't always as straightforward (especially jarring as "Google serv

Seeing the performance improvement numbers I'm pretty sure there's a type-inference system below it to realize types in all paths (same as the AOT JS compiler I created). It's not to be beholden to types per-se, but rather th

If it wasn't built by Matz I'd have severe doubts, but it's clearly defined and I presume he knows all limitations of the Ruby semantics well. My thesis work (back when EcmaScript 5 was new) was an AOT JS compiler, it worked

Anyone tried using Kaitai descriptions? It seems like a fairly flexible system that would be an excellent starting point for a hex-editor that wants to add good higher level coloring (and perhaps even editing).

I think going bare-metal at cut-rate might've been the only way to actually kick-start that. F.ex. ECU's make things more optimal so buyers will be paying extra for fuel in a bad economy, but the lock-down was worse when it was ca

On modern ones, x86 has quite a history and the idiom might carry on from an even older machine. Edit: Looked at comments, seems like x86 and the major 8bit cpu's had the same speed, pondering in this might be a remnant from the 4-bit

I think the framebuffer devices is a least common denominator that is available on even miniscule or emulated hardware whilst anything above thats starts requiring a whole lot more infrastructure. And honestly, you don't need much more

I think the point was that the illegality was that manufacturers in the west was not supposed to sell computers to the east?

Isn't that a streaming device+service? I'm more thinking in on lines that the DGX devices can run fairly moden games like Cyperpunk at good framerates, the Windows foothold has been games and enterprise, and an ARM device with a m
