oh ok

IA-64 emulator that can boot Windows has been confirmed! thebrokenpipe.com/ia64/zx2000/ HP zx2000 workstation emulator by Yufeng Gao (TheBrokenPipe) uses an Itanium core from trofi's HP Ski simulator fork along with zx2000 EFI firmware. In collaboration with hunterkll / gdwnldsKSC.

AFTER 2 DECADES, WE FINALLY HAVE A KIND OF WORKING ITANIUM EMULATOR!!

@tiagozip_ @sophiiess_ at that point only do strings and comments

@sophiiess_ this just looks ugly

weird thing to say when your blog is piss yellow but ok cred: tonsky.me/blog/syntax-hi…

@Jaiydanimate @elle_trees decomps have always taken years, aint nobody got time for that

@elle_trees I'm not gonna lie, if you're complaining about having to do something that people have always been able to do for years with no problem, this really just sounds like a Skill issue and that you should probably just let someone else do it lmao.

Expecting programmers to do full decomp/recomp projects on our free time for no pay without any AI assistance just so y'all can have free PC ports while you do nothing to contribute is actually insane levels of entitlement

@bee_fumo microsoft train simulator (or more precisely, open rails) is kinda shit with wine. otherwise i would just use linux for literally everything

dear windows people who haven't moved to linux why?

What

@wegrospiritual @mavneto_ao @Lucasvin2004 @ToadyFNaF1987 no thats community service

@mavneto_ao @Lucasvin2004 @ToadyFNaF1987 Hey now, that's a hate crime.

gonna test smth pedophilia is bad

@tiagozip_ @WhatsAppTeto theres a limit to everything

@WhatsAppTeto hating on people using coding agents for help on cool things is stupid, actually

Listen, I'm a software engineer. I study Software Engineering in a university where several software engineers leave with highly successful careers. I'm not going to reveal where, but bear with me. I have never written academically relevant code with AI. All code submitted into academic work has been manual. I've gotten top grades from them. These tests involve practical programming (actual software) and simple tasks useful in interviews (e.g. making binary trees or parsers). With that being said, and with my track record of making software used by many people with zero AI assistance, there's still a line to be drawn. Being against AI in code is like being against textile machines, or factories. Manual work will bring errors into the output, same as it was in the industrial revolution, and after machines took over precision dominated the market. Suddenly, products that had people's involvement in the output of machines didn't suck, while total machine work was doomed to fail. I'm not radically an AI dev. I use AI to assist in my programming. I tell it to fix some issues, programming oversights (because I still suck), and get rid of tedious tasks (like putting new shit in CMakeLists.txt). Fable 5 shrunk my program's output size because I let it do the right thing with my outputs which I could never do because i've been hitting roadblocks with almost 0 help I could get. I also vibecoded software I deemed to be way too much of a hassle to do myself. Little bits of things that people don't notice, or are too niche for a relevant userbase, that are audited, and that just... work. If there's a piece of software that doesn't exist, I think like a programmer, see if it's suitable, and then start putting my mind into making things happen, and if I get stuck, I consult LLMs. LLMs are like textile machines in the grand scheme of things. They're unavoidable, accelerate the amount of work done, and are genuinely beneficial to everyone. There's no reason as to why they're bad, except (overblown) environmental concerns. We're witnessing another industrial revolution happen, and it depends on how you use the new machines in whether or not you'll be better or be going back to square one. If you choose to ignore the progress LLMs made on programming, that's on you. You can write good quality code if you put your mind on it, as has happened before, and that's fine! Mission critical software can't be written with AI as it's highly sensitive, which is also part of that line I drew. But you can also integrate LLMs where you think they belong if you're smart and qualified enough to do so, which I think should be the competency threshold for agentic dev.

@bee_fumo @crystallize89 the cpu boots but itll just shutdown after 30 minutes

Off the top of my head it's a minix operating system that has more permissions than your BIOS and has both disk and networking access. I also remember that if you try to forcerfully remove it you get reboots every 30 seconds. me_cleaner effectively guts a bunch of its' features but it still exists there so that the system can continue running.

You know what I want to see? I want to see people dumping the firmware off of old motherboards and components, analyzing it, fixing bugs, making decompilations. There's a whole class of old, and I mean 2010s old laptops with no official support anymore that could really benefit from a coreboot port and Intel ME cleaning efforts.

genuinely, who the fuck cares? when has it EVER mattered what language something was coded in?
