Cosmopolitan v3.5
Cosmopolitan Libc transforms C into a universal language by modifying GCC and Clang to create a POSIX-compliant polyglot format. Users can compile programs using the `cosmocc` compiler and access debugging techniques. The project provides platform notes, a Discord chatroom, and funding acknowledgments.

Cosmopolitan Libc is a tool that enables C to be a universal language without requiring an interpreter or virtual machine. It modifies GCC and Clang to produce a POSIX-compliant polyglot format that can run on various platforms. Users can access the `cosmocc` compiler and compile simple programs by following provided instructions. The project offers details on compiling Cosmopolitan from source, debugging techniques using system call logs, function call logs, and GDB, as well as platform notes for Linux, WSL, and other platforms. Additionally, there is a Discord chatroom available for communication with the development team. The project specifies minimum versions and supported platforms, and acknowledges funding sources and supporters. For further details or assistance, users are encouraged to inquire directly.

Wc2: Investigates optimizing 'wc', the Unix word count program
The GitHub project "wc2" presents an innovative algorithm for the `wc` program, focusing on asynchronous state-machine parsing in C and JavaScript. It enhances efficiency, scalability, and speed compared to traditional `wc` implementations.
How to run an LLM on your PC, not in the cloud, in less than 10 minutes
You can easily set up and run large language models (LLMs) on your PC using tools like Ollama, LM Suite, and Llama.cpp. Ollama supports AMD GPUs and AVX2-compatible CPUs, with straightforward installation across different systems. It offers commands for managing models and now supports select AMD Radeon cards.

Why are module implementation and signatures separated in OCaml? (2018)
Separation of module implementation and signatures in OCaml enables scalable builds, creation of cmi files, and streamlined interface modifications. Emphasizing abstraction and implementation separation enhances modular programming and system reasoning.
26 commentsI enjoy doing this too sometimes and don't find it too difficult, but damn...
It's a cool hack but I somehow feel like it should not work.

For now it seems to be more like a framework+toolchain than a standalone library.

To be clear: I mean no disrespect with this question. This is an amazing project.
EDIT 2
Ok, I just spotted this commit message:

1. Linux 2.x on little-endian MIPS.

Did POSIX really _approve_ this? if yes, when?
I guess not.
There's way too many readme's that just jump in and assume the reader already is familiar with the project. it's a pet peeve of mine
