I’m almost done with a port of two games from the original Xbox to modern platforms. While having a good background in assembly and understand of why x87 is problematic and SSE makes life a little easier to understand what it’s doing. And I’ve offered a few suggestions that I thought were useful but it’s been shockingly hands off

I have tried to use wokwi several times and I ran into roadblocks trying to do what I want with it. They want you to pay and that’s limiting. I get trying to extract value for your work. But I love the idea an OSS solution you can do whatever you want with.

This is huge! I love the idea of this and I’ve been frustrated by the solutions offered earlier.

I wonder if their editing nas died and fried everything on it. If you only backup your backup every couple of months I can see it.

I’d argue this why security research versions of various devices are made and distributed to researchers. There was a big thing with private cloud compute and iPhone, I can see the same thing happening for exclaves

I’d argue pre ai we have a mountain of shoddy unfinished ports. And getting communities to converge a few projects was not a thing that happened that often. There are a few exceptions (like blender) but in most cases there are dozens of unique solutions and hundreds of forks for most things.

They talk about each manufacturer is different and the cars they make are all different. You can’t test a Lexus 350 and assume it’s the same as a 350h or 350h+. They tested a handful of cars and it cost a million usd.

Their point is that relying on consumer privacy groups to foot the bill for data collection is hard and we (at citizens) are owed transparency from auto manufacturers

I’m actually working on a small project that’s exactly this! Less quant so it’s only 150M parameters but this is amazing.

AFAIK AMD doesn’t do this because it’s a pain in the butt to do from a hardware and firmware perspective. They basically have their equivalent of the intel ME do RAM for training and then the main cpu comes on with DRAM already up. At least it was like that five years ago when I last worked on an AMD part.

Fun fact, I’ve now worked on the surface duo (technically the windows version not the android version) and the iPhone duo.

I thought the ideas of the surface duo were great and I’m super excited to see them evolved and shipped in a product that I think a lot of people are going to love.

I don’t know for sure but I’m pretty sure the ISA changes quite frequently for Nvidia.

It’s by far the best speech to text I’ve ever used so I’m a fan
