How does this compete to something like Org-mode?
Re:Micron Announces Exit from Crucial Consumer Business on Thursday December 04, 2025 @04:00AM (#46145354)
I am not sure if I understood your comment correctly but from my stand point Sk Hynix definitely has a consumer facing brand : https://pcpartpicker.com/products/memory/#xcx=0&m=444
This is a talk that was given Pr. Giulio Biroli in the Physics Department of a French University ("École d'Ingénieurs" technically) that talks about the use of generative AI in theoretical physics.

Thabks for the link ! Got the code accessible for this kiosk picture frame by any chance ?
The love-hate relationship with LabVIEW is something I can not get closure about : great tool, abysmal ergonmics, revolutionnary piece of software, ubiquitous in some fields and still some LabVIEW ergonomics is just SO...bad : want to zoom on your diagram ? Out of luck !

Heard of death by a thousand cuts ? LabVIEW comes to mind.

One could argue that libraries like BLAS/LAPACK are those collections...
Re:What part of Rust compilation is the bottleneck? on Saturday March 16, 2024 @08:08AM (#39725179)
I will chime in to day that rust is also building a alternative to the LLVM backend in the form of cranelift : https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc_codegen_cranelift
The similar app I am using is Frog (https://getfrog.app) with great sucesss.
The technology seems to target specific applications because it does not have the same throughput/advantages than lithography.

There's a great video deep-dive about the technology on the Asianometry YouTube channel for those interested : https://youtu.be/8UdNB3ZY4Ks

I was hoping to intercept and reverse-engineer the protocol of the Oura rings.

For some reason, I thought this kind of device would attract a lot of hackers given the platform capabilities but I could not f8nd any other documented attempt except the really thorough iFixit (destructive) teardown : https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Oura+Ring+2+Teardown/135207

For anyone interested, the main author (if I understood properly) did a presentation at RustNL on the UI aspect that was quite impressive performance wise : https://youtu.be/rC4FCS-oMpg
Re:Do, or do not. There is no try on Saturday June 24, 2023 @03:22PM (#36461865)
I feel that one day I should write about this curse that NixOS brings into your life when you start enjoying it : you cannot go back to different systems but at the same time you (at least I) cannot vouch and recommend it to others as the languages and constructs (Flakes with a space or an utf-8 character in the path ? Here is a rabbit hole you can go down with) are just so byzantine and painful to work with but oh boy do they work... A crystal prison, nice but with sharp corners everywhere...
Re:A Linux Evening on Friday December 16, 2022 @08:52AM (#34014443)
NixOS feels the same but somehow... I still end up in those Linux evenings but for different reasons...
Please excuse me for misrepresenting your work then Steve!

I take this opportunity to thank you for your involvement in the Rust project!

From what I understand of their product, Oxide computers (https://oxide.computer) is exactly doing this : building a server from the bottom up (OS, drivers and everything on top) in Rust. Anyone with more information can correct if I am wrong about their tech stack.

Regarding your comment on package pinning, you can see straight.el (https://github.com/radian-software/straight.el)

I am genuinely interested in your position : what are your concerns with nuclear energy?
From what I gather a unikernel is what you are searching for. Many exists - https://github.com/unikraft/unikraft - https://github.com/hermitcore/rusty-hermit are the one that comes to my quick search.

I think that you will greatly appreciate the desktop distribution helloSystem : https://hellosystem.github.io/docs/index.html. From their own documentation : "[.…] desktop system for creators with a focus on simplicity, elegance, and usability. Its design follows the “Less, but better” philosophy. It is intended as a system for “mere mortals”, welcoming to switchers from the Mac. FreeBSD is used as the core operating system."

I would like to thank you because I have been searching for it frantically for the past week without luck.

For anyone who has wondered what would Factorio would look like in 3D, the game Satisfactory from Coffee Stains Studio would be a good idea.
