Interesting, I would think it would work much better results with myhdl, nmigen or systemC since LLMs already do python and c fairly well. Has anyone tried LLMs with verilog or spice yet?

OMG, I was taught there was 9 planets my whole life. I had no idea there is now 8 planets in the solar system. My very educated mother just sold nine....

I take issue with the only 100 MB footprint, that is still pretty big when consider fasm, tcc and rebol are all closer to 1 meg.

As an aside, I wrote a dialect of forth and LLM was pretty good about constraining itself to a subset and create fairly usable code. I was having it implement cordic functions to implement sin/cos.

I was under the impression LISP is nice to write and work with but difficult to read. How well can you understand LISP written by a LLM?

Coding is easy if you enjoy doing it, met plenty of professional programmers that hated it and never felt the desire to improve. To them it was a way to get a paycheck that paid reasonably well.

WTF, growing up I read and always kept a book or magazine in the restroom. I fail to see the difference.

I think you are greatly minimizing what Mr. Fractic has done, I don't get the phone thing either. He got a lot of the original developers of commodore and the original molds, the guy is a super fan and I can't think of anyone bett

That is really cool, I have been looking into using my uno q with whisper and piper tts also. Though still at the research stage.

Re: bison and yacc. It came from the dragon book which for forever was the way to learn to write languages.

Whoa, I didn't know about this. Looks pretty new. Win32 in a browser https://github.com/lqs/retrotick

The win32 api is extremely well documented, still supported and very stable. With tons of working examples to do pretty much everything with.

by tehologist 5mo ago
As an added bonus, since win32 is so old. AI is quite strong at generating code for it, I have even had success with qwen 3.5 1.5B parameters with win32 and opengl 1.1

Considering you can use 500 kilobyte distro of tcc that can self compile to build win32 apps and those versions will very easily run on wine. I think it is a valid point and a strategy I have used for sometime. Since windows can't deci

I have one, this isn't true. The wattage of a 5070 is about 300. The spark entire unit runs at 200 watts max. In reality it runs like a rtx 5060 with lots of vram. Very good for training, okay for inferencing if you are running batch

This was also when most of these machines were not online. Security wasn't as much of a concern.

Python pdftools to convert to images and tesseract to ocr them to text files. Fast free and can run on CPU.

TCC is less than a meg to download supports win32 very well and as an added bonus created executables run fine under linux wine.

TCC supports win32 and is less than a meg download and as an added bonus supports linux very well thanks to wine.

I don't understand, just use scite editor with tcc. About a couple of megs download, no install required and your apps will run on everything from win 98 to linux with wine. And if the answer is c++ support then you get all the pain yo

I was thinking that this looks a lot like prolog or even make with rewrite terms

I personally think IDE makes for worse programmers vs just using a text editor.

Imperial vs Metric is a hard requirement not a convention or formatting. I have a co-worker who wants everything to be a one liner, doesn't like if/else statements, thinks exception handling is bad and will fail a code review over

All source code is self documenting, source code is for developers to read. Computer languages are a human readable version of what the compiler executes and is for the developers, not the compilers benefit. As a developer, I read way more

I used to do this with Virtual Box running locally. I found the performance of the windows x client was superior to trying to use x directly in the virtual machine. I wish the protocol supported audio.

I am pretty sure logo is mostly a lisp without parenthesis. I find it a lot more readable than most lisp dialects. I am not sure why it never caught on.
