It is not standard.

Not UEFI. No standard device tree format. No ACPI. No GIC. No SBST. A lot of custom silicon. Custom watchdog, custom...

[baryluk]

Full C++17 support, support of some C++20 features, better diagnostic and warnings all around, hardware assisted address sanitizer support on 64-bit ARM,...

[baryluk]

Yes, 5.10.4 in testing now. It will be 5.10.5 tomorrow (already in unstable)....

[baryluk]

Please don't use chromium from Debian. There are no security updates in testing, and the version in unstable is usually also pretty outdated.

Userspace for i386 will be supported for some time, even if the kernel, dkms, grub, systemd, and few other components are dropped. I am not sure how the...

I have been using h264/h265 4K @ 60fps for years.

i7-7700HQ should be able to decode that. h265 barely, but still I think it might be enough....

[baryluk]

What memory exactly you used in this benchmark? The table just says "16GB".

The results are a bit suspicious overall. Need some...

[baryluk]

Considering how their entire keynote was focused on connectivity, media, teleconferencing, and how long it can playback video on battery, I guess, yes?...

[baryluk]

It is reminiscent of Amiga OS design.

And there are some approaches on Unix to try similar. Most notably Guix and NixOS. Which approach to...

[baryluk]

There are no plans for dropping it, in fact there was strong opposite to this idea.

I wouldn't probably mind dropping 486SX support tho....

[baryluk]

I doubt they will remove 486, it still has uses, including Vortex86 SX.

But I think maybe they should remove the 486SX support and FPU emulation....

[baryluk]

Nice. I remember running this teapot demo on BeOS back in a day, around 2000.

Does Haiku support SMP and 64-bit? That would help with software...

[baryluk]

My guess, it is using a hardware assisted shadow stack, with hardware assisted encryption for hashing pointers, so they can't be forged. Nice and performant...

[baryluk]

microarch specific optimisations are only used on HPC clusters (to squeeze last bits of performance from their massive expensive infrastructure) and by...

[baryluk]

You are right. I think it doesn't support fp16 output or fp16 to 10/12-bit conversion in hardware.

So all is good....

The issue is that:

1) There is no way to order VK_ICD_FILENAMES, vulkan loader is free to read them as they wish.

2) VK_ICD_FILENAMES...

[baryluk]

It is funny on one of their slides they say: "Resizable BAR - Partnered with Nvidia and ecosystem ...". Are they afraid to name AMD by name...

[baryluk]

Yep. That is a nice way, would make it easier to have both installed at the same time and switch very quickly. It would be nice if Mesa device_selection...

[baryluk]

I hope also DCE6.1 will get the support. I believe TAHITI (i.e. 7970 HD, aka GFX6) and other Southern Islands chips, did support 10bpp and 12bpp, even...

[baryluk]

I am not nvidia user or plan to be, but that would help with adoption and exposure of Wayland a lot.
