Vendor-agnostic ML inference on production edge devices
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1v8wl5t/vendoragnostic_ml_inference_on_production_edge/
<!-- SC_OFF -->I work on PostSlate, a video editing tool, and this comes out of our own work. We run ML models on-device, face detection and embedding among other things, which means we can't assume anything about the user's GPU. NVIDIA discrete, AMD, Intel integrated, Apple Silicon, all of it. That rules out CUDA immediately, we needed one backend that runs everywhere. We landed on ncnn's Vulkan backend. Numbers on a 4070, fp16: ArcFace R50 (face embedding): 30 ms on ONNX CPU → 3 ms on ncnn Vulkan SCRFD (face detection): 25 ms → 2.5 ms Model size: ArcFace 174 MB (ONNX fp32) → 87 MB (ncnn fp16 weight storage) Of course the real speedup comes from offloading compute to the GPU, but this wouldn't be possible without the power of Vulkan. The speed wasn't even the deciding factor, it's that Vulkan drivers already exist on every machine we ship to. This means that we don't have to force the user to download a specific runtime and no vendor-specific installs. Full writeup with the rest of the numbers: https://getpostslate.com/blog/faster-local-inference <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/ppchaos (https://www.reddit.com/user/ppchaos)

Maintaining the code of the man who wrote "How To Write Unmaintainable Code"
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1uzadz5/maintaining_the_code_of_the_man_who_wrote_how_to/
<!-- SC_OFF -->Today I accidentally became the maintainer of software that was already almost three decades old: reviving a 1990s Java utility to keep the last PAD submitter alive in 2026. I was looking for a way to submit my AI app RiverScript to old desktop software directories and ended up digging through the long-forgotten world of PAD files. There was one problem. The only batch submission tool I could find was a Java application that first appeared in the late 1990s. The last release was in 2017. It was written by Roedy Green of Canadian Mind Products (https://mindprod.com/) – a software developer who passed away in 2023. He spent decades writing and freely distributing Java utilities, and maintaining the widely-read Java Glossary (https://mindprod.com/jgloss/jgloss.html). Roedy Green also wrote How To Write Unmaintainable Code (https://github.com/droogans/unmaintainable-code) – a famous satirical guide about writing code nobody can maintain. So, Roedy, today the code you wrote almost three decades ago was maintained. The tool still did exactly what it was supposed to do. Thank you. It just had absolutely no idea the modern web existed. It happily produced URLs like http://https://riverscript.com instead of https://riverscript.com (https://riverscript.com/), disabled SNI globally (which was probably a perfectly reasonable workaround at some point), and couldn't cope with the fact that almost every website now redirects HTTP to HTTPS. So I dug through the legacy Java code, fixed the compatibility issues, and got it working again. I used it to submit my app to several software directories, then published the revived version on GitHub so anyone who still needs it can use it too. Maybe nobody will ever need it again. Maybe someone will. Either way, I'm happy this old thing works again. So today, the code of the man who wrote "How To Write Unmaintainable Code" is still being maintained even after he was gone. P.S. The public repository for Mini PAD Submitter 26.3 Revived – 2026 Community Fix (https://github.com/lexvalo/mini-pad-submitter-revived) is available and open to everyone. P.P.S. At the request of redditors, I also added support for using custom submission directories. In Roedy's original program, the list of 66 directories was hardcoded, and quite a few of them no longer exist. So I added a sites.txt file next to the application in the dist folder, where you can edit the list yourself – remove the ones that no longer exist and add new ones. The application simply reads the list from that file now, so you don't have to recompile anything. <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/Odd-Flamingo-6211 (https://www.reddit.com/user/Odd-Flamingo-6211)
