Don't we have Nuitka for this?

Moving my crap onto an old laptop and some kind of tunnel thing ... tomorrow.

Those are some huge increases.

Right. But ... this would limit you to either extremely small models or extremely large FPGA's, yes? If there's a simple machine learning task that requires a sub microsecond latency I can see the point but otherwise??

Were you not into SDI for broadcast stuff?

The Nvidia NV1 mattered even if it was a misstep.

I'd say Voodoo 3 mattered because it killed 3dfx.

And the Matrox Parhelia mattered for much the same reason.

Ahhh, so is this a chip "more optimised" for connecting GPU's to reality ... or are they skipping the GPU step entirely? Are GPU's only for training now?

Damn, that's really impressive.

Likewise. It took me a while to "get" flutter but now I'm here, I 'aint leaving.

Couldn't you "just" use a honking fast SSD and set it as a swap drive?

"a thousand-day uptime shouldn’t be folklore"

I reboot a lot. Mostly I want to know that should the system need to reboot for whatever reason, that it will all come back up again. I run a very lightly loaded site and I highly doubt anybody notices the minute (or so) loss of service caused by rebooting.

Pretty sure I don't feel bad about this.

This is one of the things that changed when we moved from SATA to NVME. SATA has only a few "in flight" instructions and NVME does 64k.

Begs a question though: are there any NVME "spinny rust" disks?

There was a brief fascination with user mode TCP over DPDK (or similar). What happened with that? Can you get similar performance with QUIC? Does io_uring make it all a moot point?

Quite. I don't see why we need this in a world that already has Kevlar, Dyneema and Carbon.

Thing is, I have stopped expecting Xcode to be any good.

Actual native macOS/iOS development got beaten senseless when the App Store made it clear that "unsustainably low" was the expected price point for third party developers; and that Apple were treating the store more or less as a market research exercise and good ideas absolutely would be stolen.

So it's an internal tool, really. And we're I-guess-lucky that they document it and release it for the proles.

A built in task framework? Good BYE celery, you will not be missed.

Zephyr is not an OS in the conventional sense, it's more a library you link to so the application can "go".

I'm having enough difficulty separating "hypervisor" from "operating system".
