txdv··on The RAM shortage comes for us all
on one hand they are loosing profit, on the other hand they are gaining on market share. They will probably wait a short while to assess how much they are willing to sacrifice profits for market share
txdv··on The RAM shortage comes for us all
Just like the GPUs.

NVIDIA started allocating most of the wafer capacity for 50k GPU chips. They are a business, its a logical choice.

txdv··on Valve reveals it’s the architect behind a push to bring Windows games to Arm
"We will make linux a viable gaming before we increment that number to 3!"

I am so tempted. Is battery life good with Asahi?
txdv··on How to handle people dismissing io_uring as insecure? (2024)
One of the most interesting aspects of software development is that it is still done by humans. Information moves slowly and is very generalised, with little attention to detail.

I have seen this multiple times when developers were still reciting old benchmarks, taken out of context. It often becomes very tribal and centred around technologies.

txdv··on Inspect ANSI control codes and escape sequences
There are also zero-space width characters, yeah utf is a rabbit hole
txdv··on Fully homomorphic encryption and the dawn of a private internet
I get that there is a big LLM hype, but is there really no other application for FHE? Like for example trading algorithms (not the high speed once) that you can host on random servers knowing your stuff will be safe or something similar?

txdv··on Self-hosted x86 back end is now default in debug mode
I wonder if there is a guide to do that.

When I tried compiling zig it would take ages because it would go through different stages (with the entirety of bootstraping from wasm)

txdv··on CheerpJ 4.1: Java in the browser, now supporting Java 17 (preview)
Can you point out the limitations?
