Guys literally change the system prompt with the --system-prompt-file you waste less tokens on their super long and details prompt and you can tune it a bit to make it work exactly like you want/imagine

This sounds both like a good way to get some internet karma but also an interesting thing what can it optimize for how good it will be etc.

I have used baml before and that worked super well for me multiple times so I don't see a problem with that.

This is actually super cool, you can use those as both math accelerators and as io, and them being in lockstep you can kind of use them as int only shader units. I don't know how this is useful yet.

Btw I am curious what about edge cases. Maybe I have missed that from the article but what is the size of the FIFO?

Or the more dangerous part that is you have complex to determine timing now for complex cases like each reqd from FIFO is and ISR and you have until the next read from the FIFO amount of instructions otherwise you would stall the system and that looks to me too hard to debug.

True, but take into account that plants need to be able to fly/fight with instruments only and without vision.

Also dogfights are much rarer now, most people just fling rockets at each other (so you know how much these cost, a b200 seems cheap in comparison)

That reminds me a lot of the xmos xcore mcus with 8 cores. I am curious what kind of synchronization primitives have you added and why?

This is the same chip as the iphone, the only thing that need to be done is make something like m1n1 work with iOS and circumvent all the security measures

I have been, doing doomcoding with tmux and ssh and oddly enough it was better experience than this.

They might not be solvable but you can get 5-10% Improvement on them, unfortunately you can't do a new product that is exactly like QuickBooks but 5% better at reconciliation etc.

Yeah but cloudflare is one of the few places with free static hosting so ... Not much of a choice

They find devices that are easy to hack (and I mean rip and tear) and extract the decryption keys from each of them, from what I have heard cheap chinese tvs and set top boxes, they extract the keys from the chips (hardware hacking, heard some even use microscopes to read the keys by hand), and then use them to decrypt streams, I heard that they catch them pretty fast to they use like 1 device per season. This is why they use mostly stollen devices.

It runs the Arduino app on a separate mcu stm32l4 I think. So you have the realtime as well, but what you describe is already possible with the pi and asymmetric multiprocessing using openamp and zephyr.

I remember reading about this in some blogs so here is one I found that describes just that: https://telmomoya.blogspot.com/2016/10/asymmetric-multi-proc...

I know that this is how shizuku (0) does it and it is required anyway if you want to install multi apk applications so stiff won't change for most people then?

Just wait for it, from what I know Sony uses clang for it toolchain, don't know about the others so if enough studios start to switch they will start to offer the tools.

Side note: I have been using msvc in wine for almost 5 years now, so if that works I don't know why the Sony/Nintendo/Xbox toolchain wouldn't.

Have you tried the intellij IDEs? I thought that they were pretty similar in terms of experience, although I have used them for java/dotnet primarily.

Not exactly true WASM compilcation is in a different thread, but the execution happens on the same thread as JS if you don't do any webworker stuff.
