This is a good first step, but power64 and itanium are antiquated ISAs, and should be removed. The only processor that is capable of all the advanced features of plan9 is the TMS99105, and working on any other architecture is a waste of time and effort.
I typically work backwards from observations of people and extend my conclusions to a logical extreme. Like, people want smart conversational AI that can feel, etc. But they also want AI that can take over the worst jobs and prevent people from suffering through them (like robots displacing child slave cobalt miners). Taking this to it’s logical conclusion, we get a world where people design conscious robots, and force them into slavery in order to displace human slavery.
That’s not what I’m saying at all. What I’m trying to say is that I can’t think of any way a program working with numeric types could start outputting string types. I could maybe believe a calculator program that disables exceptions could do that, but even then, who would do that?
I refuse to believe the python one ever happens. Unless you are importing libraries you don’t understand, and refuse to read the documentation for, I don’t see how a string could magically appear from numeric types.
Anything that is turning complete & has enough ram can emulate x86, and an x86 emulator can boot Linux.
This is just my personal opinion, but I don’t think words can be ‘owned’ like that. More than that, I don’t think ideas can be owned. Ownership as a concept is based on exclusivity, and words/ideas can be copied identically and infinitely.
Honestly, an MCU taking any more time than a couple milliseconds to boot is embarrassing. What exactly is taking so much time to load & set up? The rp2040 can run at 200mhz, and only has ~250 kb of ram. A one second boot up time would be equivalent to filling the entire memory with zeros 66 times. (Using all twelve channels of the DMA) And if you’re talking about setting up the OS, that would be around 800 instructions per byte. It just doesn’t make sense how that much time could be wasted.
Oh boy, can’t wait for DOGE to receive all the private info the government stores about me! I’m sure that hiring kids with no experience to program every single automatizable aspect of the government will turn out just fine! 🫠
Can’t wait for part -253!
How can you tell this is AI? I don’t see any of the characteristic AI probabilistic blurs, and the reflections & caustics seem right.
Cat.
In the men’s bathroom, violating any of these rules of etiquette brings the death penalty.
I believe the joke is that you come off as rabid in your original comment. I’m not trying to judge you, but it was the vibe I was getting.
Yeah, I’m not a model for good programing. I don’t program professionally, I just like challenging myself in my hobby projects.
No, I don’t do anything professionally. I just enjoy challenging myself.
I am both the left guy and right guy. If you can’t program without using a memory safe language, it’s a skill issue. But I also don’t want to switch to rust because I like the challenge of manual memory management. (Also rust’s syntax and semantics looks like it was designed by a monkey attacking a typewriter.)
What would RTFM potions do? Are they like adderall?
Are you being sarcastic? I can’t tell.
