One could believe the AI boom is a kind of
Charles Darvin Galapagos Island Evolution
Trick of repurposing FFT hardware.
But this is of course not true, HPC, high
performance computing, has already defined
level 3 ops years ago.
But look at this rabit hole of Ryzen AI 7 350
NPU design, which is a stripped down Xilinx,
stripped of exotic FFT features:

But the core feature, very long instruction
word (VLIW) engines, with hardware accelerated
GEMMs, scattered in grids of ASIC tiles,
connected by DMA and NoC, is even not very
specific to AMD, you find it also in Snapdragon /
Qualcomm SoCs for AI Laptops.

P.S.: My brain playing tricks, why should I
name a library(ironpaw) ? From the same
article above. Maybe WebNN is easier to use?
"mlir-aie contains a Python framework called
IRON that generates LLVM MLIR code representing
a workload that runs on the NPU, including the
code that runs on each compute tile processor
and the configuration of DMAs and other hardware.
Kernels for the compute tile processor can be
written in C++ and compiled either with the
open-source llvm-aie Peano compiler, which is
a fork of LLVM that adds support for the Xilinx
AI engine processors, or with the closed-source
Xilinx CHESS compiler, which is included in Vitis.
In simple cases the kernels can also be directly
written in Python with IRON."

The conspiracy theory of a stealing of Torso VDBE,
by Rossy Boy, is probably a result of complete
ignorance of the Hack ecosystem.
Hack is a very popular computer science project,
with a couple of subprojects in hardware and
software. It goes also by the name Nand to Tetris,
and is programming language agnositic. You can do
Hack experiments in any programming language, be
it BASIC, ADA or Rust. Nobody cares.
The gist are projects like here, first to
educate yourself about Hack:
https://www.nand2tetris.org/course
And then to use Hack in different contexts:
https://www.nand2tetris.org/copy-of-talks
For didactic purposes, I used Hack for my WebGPU
experiment. I didn't even take a look at Torso
VDBE, why should I? Hack is nicely documented,
has even a book, and fusing the two 16-bit
instruction types A and D, into a single 32-bit
instruction stream, is nowhere patented.

I don't much care about Rust. It's yet another Google product,
with the idea of not having exception handling, then supposedly
it's efficient and safe, yet, it's efficient by not being safe,
and safe by not being efficient. Then there's the macro/metaprogramming
front-end, which basically doesn't validate
like templates or otherwise for compile-time invariants,
that is basically like people who use string substititution instead
of object models, who all suffer injection attacks.
Personally, I like Postgres in C, and I hope it stays there. I used to
maintain PL/Java, and got intimately familiar with some of the limi-
tations of the JNI interface. And while there's some new Java foreign
function interface now, it doesn't replace JNI. Especially for projects
that embed the JVM like PL/Java.

I haven't contributed to that project for maybe one and half decade, and
now that I'm using Java again -- a project I'll mention in another
thread --[1] I may just resume some duties in PL/Java. But that's a
future adventure that may or may not happen.

So, I was going to say something about Postgres? Right, I'm sure the
author of Postgres-in-Rust will run into some of the problems people
always run into when they attempt to rewrite other large projects, and
that's not learning from the prior mistakes. I try to avoid that.

This latest manic episode has that in some more clinical or caring

that's crazy-town and it's not a good place and we don't go there
any-more, population burse-scheiss-bots. Anyways here we just
generally respect people well enough to let them well alone.
I don't remote diagnose people. While I don't have a medical license

text messages.
