Proof-of-concept project, showing that it's possible to run an entire Large Language Model in nothing but a #PDF file.

It uses #Emscripten to compile #llama.cpp into asm.js, which can then be run in the PDF using an old PDF JS injection.

Combined with embedding the entire #LLM file into the PDF with base64, we are able to run LLM inference in nothing but a PDF

Revolutionizing Perl: Sandboxing with WebAssembly for Enhanced File Metadata Handling

In a groundbreaking project, developers have successfully compiled Perl into WebAssembly, enabling the execution of Perl scripts in a sandboxed environment. This innovation not only enhances file meta...

Scaling multithreaded #WebAssembly applications with mimalloc and WasmFS, by @kripken:
https://web.dev/articles/scaling-multithreaded-webassembly-applications?hl=en. If you have a multithreaded #Wasm application that does lots of allocations or uses files, then you may benefit greatly by using WasmFS and/or mimalloc. Usage in #Emscripten:

```bash
emcc -sWASMFS -sMALLOC=mimalloc
```

DoomPDF: The Unlikely Resurrection of Doom Inside a PDF File

Imagine playing the classic game Doom not on a console or computer, but right within a PDF document. Thanks to innovative use of JavaScript and Emscripten, this once far-fetched idea has become a real...

I have a new #programming playground: #WASM with #Emscripten
https://emscripten.org/

I explored this platform some time ago, but had no practical use for it.

But #HTML5 #canvas elements can act as a "screen" for stuff generated or managed in c or #cpp.
Posting user events to a "native" WASM worker and posting back images to the browser's thread makes the browser a virtual machine for classic C programs.

It's not very performant, but sufficient.
And it's pure fun to see that it just works

wasm-vips is libvips for the browser and Node.js, compiled to #WebAssembly with #Emscripten: https://github.com/kleisauke/wasm-vips. There's a cool playground to test it: https://wasm-vips.kleisauke.nl/playground/.

Published a WIP demo of Tragrady of the Uncanny as a HTML5 playable game on itch.io. This is a temporary version, since it is being developed with the #gba and #msdos in mind.

#c++ #cpp #emscripten #programming

I have this c++ code:
```
...
stringstream stream("23.4f");
float f;
char c;
stream >> f;
stream.get(c);
cout << "Float = " << f << endl << "Character = " << c << endl;
...
```

In ideone.com it works as expected (f = 23.4, c = 'f'). But when I have a code, that should be essentially equivalent, and I compile it with em++ (emscripten), I get f = 0 & failed stream. What could be causing this problem?
