It does. The FMX framework compiles to Android, iOS, macOS, Linux, and Windows. Single codebase single UI.

The pricing or lack there of is a huge turn off. We use Replicate and Runpod. On Replicate everyone just shares the GPU cloud. On Runpod I had to bundle 8 together into my own cloud but I can't see that this service solves my problems (queueing image generation and restarting jacked stable diffusion nodes).

fmxexpress — Tue, 14 Mar 2023 00:20:08 +0000

I'm a full stack contractor. Been following generative AI since late last year. Picked up an AI startup gig in early January. Launched a couple weeks ago. Building out the client, API, server, and orchestrating the AI image generation pipeline plus Dreambooth. Choosing an AI GPU provider (or 3), solving prompt issues, figuring out model settings, making sure it can scale. A lot of the models are all comoditized on providers like Replicate which makes it like any other API based project. AI knowledge is still very useful to know what settings to use with the models though.

It isn't difficult. Just use Delphi. 26+ years of unbroken excellence building using Win32. And now Microsoft is saying that going forward they are back to promoting Win32 as the best way.

I searched for an option for make to do a command line file like this but didn't see one so struck out.

Yes, it could be as simple as having Dev-C++ run a build every time a file is saved. Currently it does not do this. Remember, Dev-C++ didn't have -j support at all until I added it. TwineCompile does do this (background compile). Therefore the IDE is providing this functionality and has nothing really do to with make or the compiler.

TwineCompile is not a plugin wrapping the -j flag. It is a separate thing entirely unique to C++Builder. It does offer integration with MSBuild though.

The second part of that was the fall off. With the 1 million size files it only ever used half of the cores and each successive round of core compiles it would use even less cores. TwineCompile didn't seem to have that problem but this post was not about TwineCompile vs. MAKE -j so I did not investigate this farther.

I was expecting MAKE/GCC to blow me away and use all 64 cores full bore until complete and it did not do this.
