    Containers do solve dependency hell by isolation. It's like venv/uv in Python that you switch between different environment with different sets of dependency. Or speaking essential…

    You technically can sideload. For 7 days or on TestFlight

    It only happens iff that market is full of intelligent crowds that can truly reflect their "voting" and exchange of their idea.

    No, it's more about maximizing the utility function and finding the "shield" where you'd start getting diminishing return beyond that

    I wonder why LLM love this word so much. Same as mint, seam, tier.

    Well to me using an LLM is akin to using microwave for food, and programming is getting your hands dirty in the art of cooking. I used to do the latter but the pace is too much, so…

    I wonder if LLMs are useful in reconstructing a real compilable game that reverse engineers all functions. No, not in the sense that I want to shove "AI" into everything vibe codin…

    Yeah, nommu Linux basically cannot run normal ELF since there is no virtual memory which is needed for relative addressing and relocations. You are mostly left with classical forma…

    I rather replace bun with deno, given that now both bun and deno are written in Rust, and Deno have even more node compatibility than bun. Deno and Node both runs on V8, while Bun …

    but you have to rewrite all your software to ROCm. And ROCm, to this day, still sucks. ZLUDA basically crash on high memory demand, and only accounted for ~70% of CUDA API coverage…
