Ah yes, the qualcomm way. Rather than upstreaming things so it just works make a Qualcomm Linux, perhaps with NDA and laywer speak to sign off on to get access to anything at all, all to use their mediocre hardware.
Qualcomm you suck, upstream your drivers, make it open. Stop faffing about with closed proprietary junk. Somehow Intel, Tenstorrent, and AMD understand this but you don't. You aren't NVIDIA! Even if you were NVIDIA know that people absolutely despise that model.
Sitting in a modern pickup is worse than a school bus for visibility. You cannot see in front of the truck at all. Real blue collar work seems to mostly have moved to work vans like the sprinter which have much better visibility, much more friendly height for storing, can still tow, etc.
I’m moving all my machines to NixOS. I’d done this before but ran into time constraints creating ports for convoluted binary software. With LLMs now as good as they are it’s quite possible this isn’t a problem anymore. I’ll be finding out.
Wild. A great book by Clive had this exact sort of scenario where an AI so powerful it could break into any system. In typical Cussler fashion there was some Indiana Jones/Laura Croft mysticism around it but still…
C++ the good parts is essentially C. If C had the concept of traits and generics or something like them like Rust there’d be no need for C++ and its ideas of mediocre inheritance and macros (templates).
Xilinx has often thought of the software as the special sauce that sets them apart it seems like.
At this point its a net negative. Nothing like a massive bloated Vivado that now requires a slow spywareOS to run its rotting carcass of gigabytes (100's) of java.
About the only good thing Vivado does is fail to synthesize correctly... oh wait that's a mystery bug that I and many others have run into. And impossible to understand why.
FPGA tooling desperately needs open source tooling like C needed GCC.
Funny, I need an LLM to figure out what most people consider "readable" python as its highly unreadable to me. The lack of types, top to bottom flow, and more tends to make it all very confusing for me to read anything python that's > ~1000loc
I mean best of luck policing this is all I'm going to say. We will soon be back to the "core contributors only" kind of policy in many projects I imagine to avoid the slop spam. The verification will be at the conferences.
AArch64 is dead for Windows and client Linux, and the knife is in Qualcomm's hands.
