The new compiler code is slightly larger than gcc but seems already to be less full of compiler bugs. The difference isn&#39;t huge which considering that gcc has the memory to load functions into memory and do full graph level processing on them and I can compile the code in under 64K of RAM I consider acceptable.<br/><br/>#fuzix #6809 #compilers 2026-09-01T16:02:48Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsts4trt4s4rs32gnggp4fnwfwtjsh4h8vka3mweuu3n30k0sxjmvszyrv8vdyg90wq3n62fcu73eh4j48cumpd6086jpxrdn5wldcexgdd5rjjjqn That does not look or smell good<br/> <img src="https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/117/112/713/831/482/577/original/44a55f74dba263f7.jpg"> <br/> 2026-08-17T20:24:40Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsdxjnv9lg3805f8g0ztmh6zfrqe28njxjm76e50a08vmv8f2cj9mszyrv8vdyg90wq3n62fcu73eh4j48cumpd6086jpxrdn5wldcexgdd553mw4c When we all upgrade to Na based batteries charging offpeak will the new tariff be the sodium nitrate ?<br/><br/>#dadjokes 2026-07-23T22:02:50Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs9fg93a0jrnahl33nfg9m9dsqehm2lcpwl0qffll8zdse7q8r9h9qzyrv8vdyg90wq3n62fcu73eh4j48cumpd6086jpxrdn5wldcexgdd5ns0fg7 I was trying to put together a summary of why #AI code s banned from Fuzix<br/><br/>Having thought about it a bit I realised it can be put several ways but it really already been said by Marx (and Engels), and to be fair also the same basic beliefs in many other groups:<br/><br/>&#34;The workers should own the means of production&#34;<br/><br/>LLM #AI, aside from all the stolen content and environmental damage is not owned by the workers.

If you compare the 1930s and 1980s factory enormous amounts of friction went away. Workers had a better environment and managers had better tools to do their jobs too. But that was when unions were strong so that shitting on someone else&#39;s lawn wasn&#39;t an acceptable answer and everyone therefore needed stuff to be better to sign on. Today we&#39;ve largely replaced that kind of progress with games of hot potato turd passing instead. 2025-08-23T15:55:06Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsx7l6t5ktmh256kfsrr2v90r04ektuqk7nsmq9736dyhs0q74y9xgzyrv8vdyg90wq3n62fcu73eh4j48cumpd6086jpxrdn5wldcexgdd5kkmef0 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsgcrruppfdmu7h2vgdrqwtznfw3hrvhwxx6tedj6x5ff58fnuvzxqhl85xm'>nevent1q…85xm</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>The fact they are touching what looks like peak emissions this year and a major source is in some ways a hopeful thing.<br/>Coal is complicated though for China.

The market for &#39;do it up&#39; is now near non-existent compared to 20 years ago because you can&#39;t get the people or materials any more. We have a shortage of trades and they can get steady relatively less complex work on new builds so increasingly don&#39;t care about the refurb market.
