Back in the old days, people used to do general-purpose GPU programming by using shaders like GLSL. This is what inspired NVIDIA (and other companies) to eventually create CUDA (and friends).
This is an implementation of GPT-2 using WebGL and shaders. Enjoy!

Show HN: OSle – A 510 bytes OS in x86 assembly (Score: 150+ in 1 day)

(sorry about double posting, I forgot to put Show HN in front in the original https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43863689 thread)
Hey all,
As a follow up to my relatively successful series in x86 Assembly of last year[1], I started making an OS that fits in a boot sector. I am purposefully not doing chain loading or multi-stage to see how much I can squeeze out of 510bytes.
It comes with a file system, a shell, and a simple process management. Enough to write non-trivial guest applications, like a text editor and even some games. It's a lot of fun!
It comes with an SDK and you can play around with it in the browser to see what it looks like.
The aim is, as always, to make Assembly less scary and this time around also OS development.
