> the Rust community is aggressive "rewrite it in Rust!", "no memory unsafe languages!" This is more of a meme than reality at this point.

Yeah, I cannot understand why people are thinking a gigabyte of RAM in this context save for their context being imagining what this would take with a python HTTPS server streaming…

I really feel like a lot of the people objecting in this thread are people who have just written web apps in Python whose closest experience with the audio-visual space is WebRTC. …

The original comment was complaining about backup cameras seemingly adding significant electronics requirements. In practice, you’re not going to tie intimate knowledge of the matr…

A gigabyte!? You shouldn’t need any dedicated RAM. A decent microcontroller should be able to handle transcoding the output from the camera to the display and provide infotainment …

There was a library for Rust called “faster” which worked similarly to Rayon, but for SIMD. The simpleminded way to do what you’re saying would be to have the compiler create separ…

Just because the fed exists doesn’t mean the entire economy shuts down with the government. It depends on how it’s structured.

> It is the first model to get partial-credit on an LLM image test I have. Which is counting the legs of a dog. Specifically, a dog with 5 legs. This is a wild test, because LLMs g…

I started with desktop applications, so my go-to for GUI has been Qt, especially QML. It works on Windows / MacOS / Linux as well as iOS and Android. I think there’s now a way to c…

Yeah, they could call it Tizen or something.

Yes. And everyone is glossing over the benefit of unified memory for LLM applications. Apple may not have the models, but it has customer goodwill, a platform, and the logistical i…

Slint recently added Bevy support. I’ve been keeping an eye on it since I’ve used Qt and love working in Qml.

Whose interests corporations act in is not arbitrary, it’s tied to how they make money. Meta and Google make their money primarily from advertisers, Apple makes money from consumer…

Reminds me of “The Bully and the Beast” by Orson Scott Card.

Personally, I’d really like a crossplatform declarative package manager in a mainstream or mainstream-style language, where the nixpkgs equivalent can be JITed or AOTed including t…

Yeah, Rust tends to have enough type-safety that you can encode project-specific constraints to it and lower the learning curve to that of Rust itself, rather than learning all the…

There are some big caveats to this approach. Note “Known Problems” for the library. Particularly, you need to use a polling backend for network / VM filesystems. I didn’t see any n…

Or using cameras to render what’s behind the phone as a background. That would help explain the continued focus on thinness.
