I was looking at the llms.txt files of some sites today and saw how straight to the point they are and started thinking I'd love to have a browser that only loads these txt files and the markdown files they link to. It reminds me of the Gemini protocol tried to do. I think I'll try to make a PoC this weekend.
There's no contradiction, no missing link in the facts of the story. They have a huge program, it is 2GiB minus epsilon of .text, and a much larger amount of DWARF stuff. The article is about how to use different code models to potentially go beyond 2GiB of text, and the size of the DWARF sections is irrelevant trivia.
> They have a huge program, it is 2GiB minus epsilon of .text,
but the article says 25+GiB including debug symbols, in a single binary?
also, I appreciate your enthusiasm in assuming that because some people do something in an organization, it is applied consistently everywhere. Hell, if it were microsoft other departments would try to shoot down the "debug tooling optimization" dpt
yes and that's what I'm saying, I find it crazy to not split the debug info out. At least on my machine it really makes a noticeable difference of load time if I load a binary which is ~2GB with debug info in or the same binary which is ~100MB with debug info out.
Doesn't make any difference in practice. The debug info is never mapped into memory by the loader. This only matters if you want to store the two separate i.e lazy load debug symbols if needed.
this is just not true. I just tried with one of my binaries which is 3.2G unstripped, and 150MB-ish stripped. Unstripped takes 23 seconds until the window shows up, stripped takes ~a second
There is something wacky going on with your system, or the program is written in a way that makes it traverse the debug info if it is present. What program is it?
For example I can imagine desktop operating system antivirus/integrity checks having this effect.
ELF is just a container format and you can put literally anything into one of its sections. Whether the DWARF sections are in "the binary" or in another named file is really quite beside the point.
I think in the chrome extension store you can't even change the email account attached to the extension. The only correct way to transfer an extension seems to be deleting it and having the new party create a new one.
Is that a thing in the US? You start a company and there's no need to register it with the government? Or it gets registered but there's no public records of it?
All companies are registered. They have to be registered to be legal entities, have bank accounts, and comply with tax laws.
Private companies don’t need to publicly divulge a lot, though. It’s between the company and their investors. It’s only once a company wants to trade publicly that they have to provide a lot of public details and financials.
You don’t have to register a general partnership as long as it has one of the partners’ last name in the partnership name, although I guess you have to get an EIN to file partnership taxes.
A sole proprietorship doesn’t have to register anything ever at all.
Although in most cases it’s sensible to register a single member LLC instead of operating as a sole proprietor. That way the LLC can be separate from the owner’s personal assets.
Great point. I suppose I should have said all companies like this (the corporation Bezos is involved with) are registered entities.
There are ways to do business activities yourself without registering an official business, though it’s generally discouraged because forming an LLC is so cheap and easy and provides some protections and benefits.
A company can be a sole proprietership or partnership without registering with anyone, but in this case in most states they must either conduct business in the owners/partners names or register a DBA with the state(s) they are doing business in. (the rules are state specific, and I think there are some states that don't do kr require DBA registration). In most cases, a company with billions invested in it will be formed as a formal entity such as an LLC or Corporation in a state. Again, the specifics vary from state to state. If you knew the legal name of this entity, and what syate it was registered in, you could probably look up when it was registered in that state.
However, details like owners and organizers aren't always Available.
It gets further complicated with Series LLCs.
Congress passed a law that would have required "beneficial ownership" registration with law enforcement (FinCen), however, this registration would not have been public.
Further, it was found unconstitutional and enforcement of the registration requirement indefinitely suspended.
In general, if you are doing business in a state under a name or entiry other than your own legal name, you will be required to file something with the state, and that filing will include a registered agent where legal process can be served on the business, and this information will be public.
But if they aren't doing business publicly yet, no one will know the name of the business, so they can't look it up! It sounds like the name mentioned in the article may just be a code name.
Legal name changes are handled in state courts, so there may be different rules depending on your state, but generally I think you could get away with it if you really wanted to... but doing business as a sole proprietor means you are personally liable for everything the business does. Way simpler and better to just form an LLC in most cases.
You can basically form a corporate entity with a nominal Delaware office, but it doesn't need to give any details about where the actual work takes place, yeah.
There are thousands of companies registered every day across the US. This one is probably a subdivision of a subdivision of some holding company owned by Bezos. Pretty much impossible to track using just public data.
* One with Windows 7 level of features (with Windows 11 level security fixes).
* One with all the bells an whistles that gives product managers the feeling of having done something and justifies their raises and career advancement.
They mostly exist with IoT LTSC being the first one. (well, to some extent, it still has the "two control panels, two context menus, non-deterministic start menu search, hiding scrollbars by default" issues).
But they only sell the second one to regular customers. IoT LTSC is for companies only. Other customers don't deserve respect apparently.
GPU code performance != CPU code performance. You can have a visually trivial game (Dwarf Fortress pre-makeover) that will grind your CPU to a halt because of all the simulations it has to process. You can also have a visually complex game that will run fine because the rendering will be properly optimized to reduce drawcalls etc but as the number of units grows, it will push your CPU to the limit.
A search engine for llms.txt would be great too.
