I don't discourage him. I present facts. LLVM contains plenty of AI code, especially for generating code for NVIDIA chips.
Since January 1st there are export restrictions for AI code to China now. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-artificial-intelligence/u-s-government-limits-exports-of-artificial-intelligence-software-idUSKBN1Z21PT Means: No use of LLVM within China any longer. No use of pil21 with LLVM JIT in China. Same for many other countries. Whole world now is rethinking use of US software stacks in general. Again: "Keep away from US Software Stacks!!!" Alex, go on using LLVM. See you in Guantanamo. (Remember: Meng Wanzhou was caught in Canada with US warrant). Unbelievable ignorance!!!! Am Mittwoch, 6.

I hope you find a blowhard like Guido amusing and not too irritating. I get the impression he’s hardly written a line of code in his life, and that was probably in Java. >> Take care! >> John >> On Wed, May 6, 2020 at 07:59 Alexander Burger <a...@software-lab.de> wrote: >>> >>> On Wed, May 06, 2020 at 12:51:33PM +0200, Guido Stepken wrote: >>> > Use Mike's DYNASM JIT Engine.
