  // QEMU UART registers - these addresses are for QEMU's 16550A UART
  #define UART_BASE 0x10000000
  #define UART_THR  (*(volatile char *)(UART_BASE + 0x00)) // Transmit Holding Register
  #define UART_RBR  (*(volatile char *)(UART_BASE + 0x00)) // Receive Buffer Register
  #define UART_LSR  (*(volatile char *)(UART_BASE + 0x05)) // Line Status Register

This looks odd. Why are receive and transmit buffer the same and why would you use such a weird offset? Iirc RISC-V allows that, but my gut says I'd still align this to the word size.

The UI in terms of space and usability looks great. Two "modern" things I don't want to miss: Good font rendering and a fast application launcher (mod -> type a few characters -> enter). What I dislike the most on modern UI, and maybe absolutely hate, are all those super slow animations. Just gimme the damn thing, I don't need those animations. (Yes I know on most plattforms I can disable them, but this often takes quite a few steps)

> Just like that.

These statements always catch me a bit off-guard. Is there no such thing as a cancelation period in the US? When my employer wants to kick me out, he needs a good reason for that and I'd still be paid for 3 months. Which is often even longer, depending on how long you belong to a company.

Edit: I'm in germany

I started playing with vim, but neovim is another level. It's my goto for coding over vim. I don't expect them to put more effort into anything, because it just works as a editor/IDE.

You need tokens to create more revenue for the company that is running the LLM. Nothing more, nothing less

Cute project!

> Xilinx tech support page and a forum post explaining how to get the Xilinx ISE to run under Windows 8 or Windows 10. Unfortunately Xilinx no longer maintains this development suite, but has also considered it unnecessary to support their Spartan 6 platform in the successor software suite, Vivado…

Wasn't the Spartan 6 also supported by the open source toolchains? I just did a couple seconds of search and I could only find the yosys support, but no nextpnr. Sad. Xilinx/AMD should open that up

Yeah sure, I know that a lot of people make 6 figures. The comparison to switzerland is not that great though, giving the cost of living. There is not much difference of me getting a 100k CHF in switzerland or 60k€ in germany

Yes, I'm preparing my portfolio right now. Got a bit more time

6 figures? I only take jobs with free fruit basket. That's the minimum.

PS, my references: I have never used cursor, I am quite bad at vibe coding and don't enjoy it at all. I rarely even use AI for help. But I am quite decent at FPGA design and embedded developemnt. If you have a job for me in germany or remote in europe, then I will pay you with very bad humor every week. Possibility of using linux+neovim is a requirement though. (Yes, I really need a job)

I shared this sentiment. But since I just host some personal fun projects and I got really lazy when it comes to self-hosting, I found great pleasure in just creating the simplest possible docker containers. It just keeps the system super clean and easy to wipe and setup again. My databases are usually just mounted volumes which do reside on the host system

I'm sure you find some joy in it or just like to explore what's possible. But just a reminder: Pieter Levels is running his million dollar businesses on a single VPS (if that's still correct). But yeah, if you like it, why not.

"Premature clustering is the source of all evil" - or something like that.

I guess it can be comfortable for some people.

But I just wanted to comment something similar. It's probably heavily dependend on how many services you self-host, but I have 6 services on my VPS and they are just simple podman containers that I just run. Some of them automatically, some of them manually. On top of that a very simple nginx configuration (mostly just subdomains with reverse proxy) and that's it. I don't need an extra container for my nginx, I think (or is there a very good security reason? I have "nothing to hide" and/or lose, but still). My lazy brain thinks as long as I keep nginx up to date with my package manager and my certbot running, ill be fine

Nice, thank you! Saved this. Mastering GCC compiler options feels harder than mastering C++ UB.

I wouldn't imply that he's too dumb. He just wants to sell it and make the actual dumb people believe that he is doing good for them.

Even worse: Who will produce new training data? If everyone only uses AI, then nothing new will be invented. Quality will stagnate or go downhill. It cannot get better

To me "learn to code" has ALWAYS been a synonym to "learn to think". Coding is nothing else than thinking. You learn a handful of structures and then you only think about how to combine them. It doesn't matter if you do it by AI or "by hand".

Oh nice. Today I actually wanted to start learning Rust. As a native german this will make things a lot easier. Thank you!

That's kinda crazy that people absolutely stopped to care that all their emails and so forth will be used as training data for the next models
