The Nintendo Wii notably has two processors that run different operating systems, so you might need some emulation or hardware modifications to do so

They do seem to have successfully moved all of the stuff relating to artifacts out to skills with the latest release.

Yea, it should probably warn and fallback to normal JIT

But you also burn the exact same number of tokens (actually more) every time the model makes a tool call. It's an agent, it makes a lot of tool calls.

- You have to run both the host OS and guest OS, losing you about 4-6GB of RAM and ~10% of CPU (and ~20-40 gigabytes of disk space)

- It’s slower

- GPU support in VMs is weird, especially when the host and guest use different graphics stacks (i.e. Windows games often don’t work in a Windows VM running on macOS because while the CPU can be passed through to the VM directly the GPU cannot; the VM driver has to try to translate DirectX GPU commands to Metal or OpenGL; some games can be a worse experience than using Wine)

There are systems with lightweight hypervisors for security purposes (like Android or PlayStation or even Windows sometimes), but those are (a) lightweight and built to use little resources, and (b) specifically designed to support the system APIs needed / use the same stack as the OS, so they won’t have the issues mentioned above.

Stuff like Qubes is also fine because you explicitly accept the tradeoffs when using it (that’s why Qubes has such high system requirements). And the VMs are all Linux-on-Linux, so the GPU issue is minimized.

While modern systems take inspiration from VMs, the sandboxing that most modern OSes do is designed to be much more lightweight than virtualization, since it doesn’t require virtualizing any hardware.

Asahi Linux exists for ARM Linux and has Windows has no equivalent (since it’s closed source and Microsoft doesn’t want to support that). Linux also runs virtualized, that’s obviously irrelevant because daily driving a VM isn’t a great idea.

It has better prospects of being able to run Linux than it does of being able to run Windows, to be fair

Numba is basically this.

MathML?

A TeX distribution on my computer (mactex) is like 4 gigabytes. Definitely not "bundle-with-a-web-browser" worthy.

You’re missing Group C, who didn’t offer cigarettes to their kids until their kids heard of these “healthy” cigarettes that are “safe for kids”

I was surprised at how obvious the AI was. Cilia do not, in fact, pop in and out of existence while moving around.
