Amidst the LLM craze, does anyone still care about old machine learning algorithms?

I've built my own framework that allows embedding, quantization, and self-retraining on microcontrollers using C++ from scratch, currently mainly for tree-based model families (like Random Forest, xgboost...). It can compress and train the entire MNIST dataset of 70,000 images on ESP32 with only 3MB of RAM while still achieving an accuracy of up to \~94% across 10 classes (models size about 600 KB of RAM). This is intended to help the model adapt without having to reload the code into the microcontroller.

Everything is here, including source code, demo, and documentation: https://github.com/viettran-edgeAI/MCU

Although it's designed to handle tabular data, I chose to demo it with a simple computer vision application for visualization.

I spent a lot of time on this project, it didn't rely heavily on AI, and I can explain every line of code. I'm open to discussing anything. I hope everyone can provide some feedback or suggestions. In my country, it seems like now they only care about LLMs; every paper tries to cram LLMs in and they don’t care about these older algorithms anymore—they just brush them aside.

The programming iceberg...

I always look for new resources to learn programming. However, every programming language created there will be a huge documentation that is born with it.
And they are very deep shit.

When you get an error from a compiler, there are these many cryptic messages pooping your entire screen and sometimes it just makes me wonder what they are..

Does anyone even read these for fun?


g++ compiler documentation

c++ documentation

Python "print()" documentation

A year of read-only cppreference

Over a year ago (on 30 March 2025), cppreference became read-only for maintenance reasons. Since then, the only progress update was in August. There have been several discussions here in the last few months about what is happening with cppreference and when it might become editable again, but from what I understand, we simply do not know.

At this point, I fear that the lack of updates for what is basically the authoritative source on the language (other than the standard of course), linked to by IDEs and even this subreddit's sidebar, might be detrimental to the adoption of C++26 and further standards, should the situation persist. I would therefore like to ask the community whether there are other, more up-to-date resources, and whether there is any effort to, for example, fork cppreference.

I understand that software updates are complicated and I have no intention to criticise the maintainers of cppreference (who are doing it voluntarily and I am not entitled in any way to their continued work on the website), but I do not think the C++ community can afford to be bottlenecked in such a way for much longer.

MS Visual Studio 18.5 has now been Released, with one caveat...

...It still doesn't have MSVC Build Tools v14.51, only an old preview.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/releases/2026/release-notes

At the same time, Microsoft releases Visual Studio Insiders (basically VS preview), with the MSVC Build Tools v14.51 release, not a preview.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/releases/2026/release-notes-insiders

So, now we have - official VS Release with the MSVC Build Tools v14.51 preview.

And VS preview with the MSVC Build Tools v14.51 release.

Person (or persons?...) in Microsoft responsible for this weirdness should get annual bonus reward.

I'm building an open-source OS that can run Windows, Linux, and macOS apps together (looking for contributors)

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on an idea that I think a lot of us have been frustrated by at some point:

Why is software still locked into operating system silos?

Windows apps only run on Windows
Linux tools require Linux environments
macOS software is completely isolated

So I started building a project (working title: FusionOS) that aims to change that.

# The idea

A universal execution layer + OS where:

Windows, Linux, and macOS applications can run side-by-side
Environments are abstracted away from the user
Compatibility is handled at the system level

On top of that, I’m exploring a multi-agent architecture where:

Agents manage dependencies and environments
Tasks can be automated and optimized dynamically

# Current direction

Right now I’m in the early stage, exploring:

Binary translation / compatibility layers
Virtualization + container hybrids
Cross-platform system abstractions
Agent-based orchestration

# Why I’m posting here

This is obviously a hard systems problem, and I don’t want to build it alone.

I’m looking for people interested in:

OS dev / kernels
low-level systems (C/C++/Rust)
virtualization / compilers
or even just thinking about better abstractions

Even if you just want to discuss the idea or poke holes in it, that’s super valuable.
