That is a very cool web app with lots of interesting examples and a good place to read code examples and be able to run them. I tried using the editor Mine written in Coalton. Coalton is a nice language project but I can’t get into it because I have been using Common Lisp since 1982, old habbits die hard.
Agree, maybe "changes the physics" was too strong, shared cpu/gpu memory is not new.
What is different then is the combination of
1. UMA memory (and yes, iGPU had this, pre-M1)
2. enough bandwidth / GPU throughput for local inference
3. straightforward `makeBuffer(bytesNoCopy:)` path
So, the novelty isn't the shared memory itself, but the whole chain lining up to make the Wasm linear memory -> Metal-buffer approach practical + performant enough.
(and not saying there's some Apple Silicon magic here either ... it'd work anywhere there was UMA and no-copy host-pointer path)
This is crazy impressive ... the kind of thing that should inspire one to do more, much more, than whatever "mere plumbing" one happens to be doing at the moment
this is exactly what i needed to read when i am starting a mini project to turn empty Chewy and Amazon boxes into a new cat maze for my bonded pair of shelter fearsome beasts
can i do something with a v1 raspberry pi and myriad idle laptops and gadgets. both Opus 4.7 and i have had enough of each other for a Caturday
thanks and i don't know why i got downvoted. there is a corporeal world. plus one of my critters figured out how to quasi open a cabinet she thinks can access food way above. just wait until she develops opposable thumbs
Applied plasma physics (spheromaks, solitons, field topology) to UAP observations. Explains the "five observables" better than the spacecraft model ... though radar signatures and energy density remain problematic (!)
Speculative but grounded in real physics (I used ChatGPT/Gemini as thinking partners, then verified claims)
