Some parts are in C++ and they even made it open source recently:

Tiny market share compared to top 4, but also looking to expand into HBM in collaboration with CXMT

Yep, and Kokoro-FastAPI (which he already uses) makes it super easy with start-gpu_mac.sh
It feels different this time. I bet there will be a generation of PC enthusiasts that are going to remember Crucial exiting the consumer market to chase AI dollars. And similar, when they hear Micron/Samsung/Sk Hynix, they'd be wary of the price gouging. Gamer's Nexus is doing really good job exposing the DRAM cartel.

Model seems quite capable, but this use-case is just yikes. As if interviewing isn't already a hellscape.

It may look like a crappy Electron app, but Figma has a quite interesting architecture. The browser editor is developed in C++ and cross-compiled to JavaScript with emscripten. The rendering engine looks like its handling HTML, but it's actually rendering their own document format for cross-browser consistency. They have their own CRDT implementation to handle multi-user edits.

They didn't even write this themselves.

Attacking civilian infrastructure is defined as a war crime by the Geneva Conventions. It's not something a person on the internet made up.

Doesn't look like it's using their code. LocalStack is Python, while floci is using Java.

You'd be surprised what can be done when data from different source is fused together.

I do the same, plus add tests from early on. New features then naturally are accompanied by more tests.
> It is wise for these Chinese fabs to eventually use a very aggressive dumping strategy to price well below cost push out other players forever, especially in DRAM.

Crucial's departure from the consumer market left such a gaping hole, that CXMT doesn't even need to push other players out to gain a footing.

Clearly not the best possible outcome. But what happened today cleared up any notion of the current US administration being an "ally". Seems like a defining moment and Europe will have to do a whole lot of think on how to move forward.
