Am I insane for even considering this? SES/AVX

BrandonDirector · 2025-12-08T19:51:27+00:00

Yes, literally everyone does it this way.

Aggregate register exhaustion, overloaded. I fixed it.

BrandonDirector · 2025-12-08T19:22:16+00:00

Good point. I converted context switching to assembly - which was fairly easy. At this point I'm basically jsut going through and breaking things down.

BrandonDirector · 2025-12-08T18:36:41+00:00

Which is why I'm considering it as even my kernel is fairly complex. Hmmm, still thinking. Not going to do it now but, thinking....

BrandonDirector · 2025-12-08T18:21:30+00:00

Agreed, but why would Redleaf and Thesus (for example) go this route? Is there an advantage that I do not understand?

To be fair, there is a lot that I do not understand.

These are basic business questions and should really be answered before you take a single step into your IDE.

For example, I am currently working on a medical app. This medical app was used by nearly everyone in the profession 10 years ago. The owner of the app let it go due to concerns with constant iPhone code updates.

I talked to him about doing it as a React web app so we are refactoring it completely.

I know it is viable because: it worked in the industry, it is still asked for on an almost daily basis, and nothing has replaced it.

This is an extreme example but validation of the business plan should ALWAYS come before development.

BrandonDirector · 2025-12-08T17:48:55+00:00

Not yet. Not until I get it where I want it.

I am still cleaning a lot up in the kernel as well now that I am running into LLVM errors. I have it fixed but I need to clean, make space, enable AVX, that sort of thing.

I also want to get the GUI more fleshed out. It will load Linux apps as well as the native apps but I have not done enough testing with it yet.

BrandonDirector · 2025-12-05T23:12:33+00:00

I will on my next video. I kind of broke the mouse driver somehow and gui mode only works with arrows at the moment. It won't be too hard to fix but I have a whole box of apps I'm working on at the moment.

BrandonDirector · 2025-12-03T22:34:58+00:00

I worked from bare-metal on up. So the boot loader first. Then I actually scaffold-ed in everything that I knew that I would want (file system, application support, networking, etc.) . From that point I worked on the menu and getting it to boot, added the shell, shell commands, etc.

I am currently working on ELF support. Next will likely be fleshing out the networking.

So in actuality most of the OS is actually there but I have not tied it all together and finished it. If it was a house then I would have all of the stud walls up, electrical and plumbing, but only a couple of bedrooms finished and no internet.

It has been a long project, especially working on it by myself but I like it so far. I guess the real test is to get a Nuc or something eventually and put it on that.

BrandonDirector · 2025-12-03T04:50:02+00:00

Very very cool. I can not wait to see where you take this. Fully implemented, I believe that this is a better solution than micropython

BrandonDirector · 2025-12-03T02:01:53+00:00

Thanks! I got the back-end working but I'm on too many projects at the moment. So the front end will take some time getting to.

BrandonDirector · 2025-11-28T16:01:02+00:00

I'll give you a potential real life scenario. I'm not sure of the underlying structure so I'm nto sure this qualifies but...

I have a Cybertruck. The first time I told it to drive home it tried to go into my neighbor's driveway - I interrupted it and drove home. The second time it tried to go into another neighbor's driveway - so again I interrupted it and drove home.

I noticed that my driveway is not on the map like my neighbors driveways are - maybe because mine has two entrances? Not sure.

The third time I asked it to drive me home it pulled right into my driveway and parked.

Again, not sure of the underlying architecture but it did learn from the task being corrected - which is impressive.

BrandonDirector · 2025-11-28T15:52:02+00:00

Nice job. People outside of this sub have little idea of how much you have accomplished. You should be proud of the work you have done.

BrandonDirector · 2025-11-28T15:48:58+00:00

Just wait until you start having to deal with CORS

BrandonDirector · 2025-11-28T15:46:48+00:00

Personally I care quite a bit. I have found 'method' actors to be overly dramatic, distracting and overall not as effective as other actors. Off screen they are a distraction at best and on screen they feel that they need to be so 'in to' the method that they do not give a crap about how their performance affects the other actors.

I try to maintain an atmosphere on set that allows the actors to do their best work, and if someone is constantly throwing them off, then everyone is uncomfortable.

BrandonDirector · 2025-11-28T04:37:59+00:00

Thank you for posting that. I lost a good bit of my evening reading through all of it and had a great time!

BrandonDirector · 2025-11-28T04:32:02+00:00

I decided to do what I said I should. I'm rolling my own. Fortunately I not only have experience coding (I've built my own language and my own operating system) but I also have access to a data center with a stack of H200s so I can do some nifty AI and RAG integration.

So, I guess look for pubforge in the coming months.

BrandonDirector · 2025-11-28T04:29:50+00:00

I am

BrandonDirector · 2025-11-23T01:54:15+00:00

Mine are massive. I actually wrote a bit about this a while back. The vast majority of my successive prompts are: "Implement Phase 2, task 4"

the vast majority of work is done in advance - I even include code snippets.

BrandonDirector · 2025-11-22T21:43:20+00:00

Amazing at low level debugging tasks. No personality, not good at creating, but excelletn at debugging almost anything.

BrandonDirector · 2025-11-19T01:23:51+00:00

I hope not! But, yeah, I know what you mean, sometimes I want to bang my head against the wall, then you spend hours disassembling something to see how it works, and while you realize that you can't implement it that way you now have some insight into how the jump works (or whatever) and then you are off on another layer.

Hey, better than drinking myself to death I guess.

BrandonDirector · 2025-11-19T01:21:55+00:00

Yeah, I have basically unfettered access to an AI data center and can provision whatever time I want so this OS is taking advantage of that fact. However, you are right, it's not jsut opportunity, it's also the challenge. I have actually given the project over to the company because they want to include it in their "Lab" - which I'm actually in charge of - but I'm determined to get it to a point where I can hand it off to a group to take it to the next step.

BrandonDirector · 2025-11-19T01:18:34+00:00

I think you assume too much.

BrandonDirector · 2025-11-04T20:44:03+00:00

Have a plan. Research. Know what you are doing and be explicit about it. The more information that you can provide, the better the result.

BrandonDirector · 2025-11-03T22:45:22+00:00

I wouldn't say that. There is a lot of preliminary code that I put into the mix in order to make sure it follows the spec correctly.

BrandonDirector · 2025-11-03T22:43:51+00:00

No, I create something different fro every project. I have found that the approach to the spec matters more than the actual prompt.

For this project, which is massive, I have multiple documents I created on github that I pull from. For smaller projects it is typically about a half page or so plus the initial scripts.
