Conceivably LLMs might be good at answering questions from an unorganized mass of timestamped documents/tickets/chat logs. All the stuff that exists anyway without any extra continuous effort required to curate it - I think that's key.

Their stuff isn't running on top of Linux on the Pi.

What I've learned from visiting my own parents is, you can alleviate the energy concern, if you (1) get solar panels and (2) ban your spouse from running the dishwasher at night :P

Sounds like this is about making .OBJs that fit in the conventions set by Win32 and the Microsoft linker. If you were using Microsoft's LINK.EXE I'd look at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/reference/nodefa... (and /Zi for the Microsoft compiler)

More generally, a lot of compiler generated code (including from LLVM IR -> native) will rely on compiler-specific runtime library functions, which aren't necessarily considered part of the "C runtime". https://wiki.osdev.org/Libgcc occupies this role for GCC-compiled code. See https://godbolt.org/z/fb75PPobz for an example (64-bit division on 32-bit x86 generates a call to ___divdi3)

(One example: hit "Show" on the table header for Win11, then use the form at the top of the page to highlight syscall 8c)

To re-encode the content into H.264+AAC, rather than simply "muxing" the encoded bitstreams from the MP4 container into a new MOV container.

I'd guess there are fewer media/codec engineers around today than there were web developers in 2006. In 2006, Gmail existed, but today's client- and server-side frameworks did not. It was a major bespoke lift to do many things which are "hello world" demos with a modern framework in 2025.

It'd be nice to have more flexible, orthogonal and adaptable interfaces to a lot of this tech, but I don't think the demand for it reaches critical mass.

"Products formerly Blizzard Creek"

WTF does that even mean?

The operand fields of a WTL 3167 address have been specifically designed so that a WTL 3167 address can be given as either the source or the destination to a REP MOVSD instruction. [

Single-precision vector arithmetic is accomplished by applying the 80386 block move instruction REP MOVSD to a WTL 3167 address involving arithmetic instead of loading or storing.

2024 revenue figures were $1.669 billion for Cloudflare, and $3.99 billion for Akamai, per Wikipedia.

So they'd have had to extract this feature from a vendor where the relationship is already breaking down, or ditch it all and start from scratch with a new vendor, or inhouse code.
