I enjoy this article showing up here once in a while. It makes me think about the stack of abstractions we actually live in… CPU -> microcode -> ISA -> firmware/BIOS -> OS + drivers -> C abstract machine -> your app.

You can like the character or not, but there is a trend I’m following ( heavily vested in NVIDIA, so tongue in cheek when I say this ) that might be highly align with Zitron. Looking at the moves from NVIDIA ( Groq )and AMD ( Taalas ) which

It personally feel that Forth if often overlooked as a solution. It’s great for lowlevel embedded work… even on complicated x86 hardware. I also think that people shy away because the tooling is thin and often DIY, but a Forth exokernel plu

My take on why Google bought Wiz is pretty straightforward. First off, Wiz brings a rock-solid CRM loaded with all those juicy contracts from the top cloud players. Add to that a proven enterprise team that knows exactly how to sell the pro

I agree, hence my direct comment of malicious firmware… For me, the open question is, can one still write a malicious firmware on the ESP32 without the non documented opcodes?

First and foremost, I have no affiliation with any of the authors previously mentioned. However, I would like to pose a question to the community: Is it feasible to exploit these undocumented HCI commands to develop malicious firmware for t

If an LLM’s logic is derived primarily from its training phase… essentially, by following patterns it has previously seen; doesn’t that underscore the critical role of training? We invest significantly in reinforcement learning and subseque

Correct, I updated the title of the original paper. Thank you your bringing up.

When a language model is trained for chain-of-thought reasoning, particularly on datasets with a limited number of sequence variations, it may end up memorizing predetermined step patterns that seem effective but don’t reflect true logical

This is a fascinating study, it reveals that ant groups significantly improve their problem-solving abilities through effective cooperation, whereas human groups do not show similar enhancements and can even perform worse when communication

Dito on the upvote, esthetics are pleasing and I love the transition of the board. Not sure if that was sand or not… but now in hunting for the files… would make a nice gift for a friend that has it all, rated at 2000+ in chest.

Good point, but still, you are leaving the user with too much leverage on the underlying architecture, again from the OS’ perspective. They way I’m considering this is, one could provide virtual time sources, removing the high resolution ti

When I read these articles, I always ask myself if this is more of a joint OS-ISA issue than just an ISA problem. Wondering if a well defined OS system, with strict enforcement of memory boundaries at the OS level and at the application lev

If we consider President Javier Milei’s perspectives on monopolies, as articulated in his address at the World Economic Forum [1], we can apply his reasoning to the case of Starlink’s potential dominance in direct-to-phone satellite connect

Forthic is a stack-based programming language developed by LinkedIn to enhance the flexibility and tweakability of applications. By embedding a Forthic interpreter into an application, developers can allow end-users to modify and extend the

Dang, that many startups in that short period of time, how is that plausible? I say that wholeheartedly considering the time it takes to take something from an idea to a PoC to an MVP. Don’t get me wrong, I know there are plenty of quick sl

Been following this development here for some time… many threads already provide for some great comments on the idea. I find it both interesting and exciting to see a new os for the could era. I do feel like the DBOS is still not singular,

This is great news for those invested in ARM CPUs. I, for one, purchased a Lenovo X13s when it first came out for around 1,900 EUR. Unfortunately, my experience with it on Windows was subpar, and it was even worse on Linux. At the same time

Wow, I thought the article was recent and thought there was a second release. I’d like to congratulate the author, this is not only a great source of technical depth in the real of languages, but also a great read as far as the layout and t

Why so, the goal was just to post my original comments, I was messing around with the python to do this and I missed the error. My sole purpose is to just have the agent do my task, not take over my comments. Hence both my own comment and t

I don’t know micropython enough. I know that it is substantially supported on the ESP32, which is great, but I’m not sure if it’s able to give you the HW access that Forth has, you can extend and build your own drivers on the Forth system,

I highly recommend using Forth for interactive exploration of hardware. In my opinion, C-Forth and uEForth are particularly well-suited for the ESP32. Even when I choose to develop C-based Baremetal solutions for the ESP32, Forth proves inc

Is this a coincidence to the NVDIA announcement that they will focusing on ARM chips for the PC? Acquisitions? No source, just pointing out the causality in the timing. I’m not suggesting NVIDIA is buying them, I’m saying that someone could

Hey Torrent, can you provide a reliable source for that info? Recently, I’ve noticed a surge in Domain Specific VMs even in userland for Linux (like Google Falcon). This has led me to wonder if a boot loader combined with a bytecode VM coul
