Jujutsu is not "VC funded". But some of the developers, including me, work at East River Source Control (I worked on Jujutsu before that, too). The majority of the code in the project doesn't come from us -- or Google, for th

jj is not "one guy who works at Google" and the vast majority of submitted code comes from non-Google developers. Even if Google were to stop developing jj (they won't) the project would be healthy and strong. There's so

Just to be clear: I think uv and the other Astral projects will probably be just fine! I don't really think this the end at all. I was just trying to explain why people are so upset by the perceived change of hands; that perception i

by aseipp 7mo ago
Part of the reason Astral as a team is so well liked is precisely because they are not part of the main fold or related to "Core Python"; they are an independent vendor, one that delivered high quality code and listened directly

Not quite, just the pixel/vertex shaders and the algorithm is public domain. Slug "the software package" is not open source (you can get a copy of it along with C4 Engine for $100 to take a peek if you want, though).

Yeah, I was more just trying to paint a broad picture. Nvidia in particular I think had fast and large-ish L1 on Tegra (X2?) despite being tied to 4k pages.

I feel like that was much more true in the past but the X925 was only spec'd 18 months ago(?) and you can buy it today (I'm using one since October). Intel and AMD also give lots of advance notice on new designs well ahead of anyt

When you do a cache lookup, there is a "tag" which you use as an index during lookup. But once you do the lookup, you may need to walk a few entries in the corresponding "bucket" (identified by that tag) to find the matc

"PAYGO API access" vs "Monthly Tool Subscription" is just a matter of different unit economics; there's nothing particularly unusual or strange about the idea on its own, specific claims against Google notwithstandi

Knights Landing is a major outlier; the cores there were extremely small and had very few resources dedicated to them (e.g. 2-wide decode) relative to the vector units, so of course that will dominate. You aren't going to see 40% of th

FWIW I think the LLVM bitcode format has stronger compatibility guarantees than the text IR. But I agree it's a bit of a pain either way; plus, if you forgo linking to the library and just rely on whatever 'llc' the user has

No, Windows has consistently been ahead of Linux for many years in terms of average-user desktop security, from binary hardening to designs like secure desktop, because average Windows users do not typically have curated software selections

llama.cpp is giving me ~35tok/sec with the unsloth quants (UD-Q4_K_XL, elsewhere in this thread) on my Spark. FWIW my understanding and experience is that llama.cpp seems to give slight better performance for "single user" wo

There are ongoing projects like Granule[1] that are exploring more precise resource usage to be captured in types, in this case by way of graded modalities. There is of course still a tension in exposing too much of the implementation detai

No AVX512, client SKUs are just going to go straight to APX/AVX10, and they are confirmed for Nova Lake which is 2H 2026 (it will probably be "Core Ultra Series 4" or whatever I guess).

MikroTik is one of the few public organizations who can still get chips from Annapurna Labs after their acquisition by AWS, it seems. Many of their offerings are still using Annapurna parts, and Annapurna still appears as a distinct brand i

War in the Pocket is also pretty good, if you haven't seen it. A bit dated now but I always thought of it as a "Business as usual" war story when I was young.

It's probably just for IP and talent acquisition, if I had to guess. People who can design high performance server-class CPU microarchitectures are rare. Frankly, Ventana seemed like an interesting entry in the space, but I have no ide

I think the biggest benefits of colocation are, in rough approximation of the order I encounter them: 1) Various read-only editor features, like diff gutters, work as they usually do. Our editor support still just isn't there yet, I&#x

To be technical, it's more that it can read and write the on-disk Git format directly, like many other tools can. I think the easiest way to conceptualize it is to think of Git and jj as being broken down into three broad "layers&

The Macbook M2 Air running Asahi Linux is easily my favorite Linux laptop ever, far superior to any Thinkpad or Dell XPS I've owned, imo. I think things like Thunderbolt and some DisplayPort features are missing, but I have never neede

The CIX CP8180 uses UEFI (it is intended to boot Windows which requires it) but the boot flow can, I believe, use either ACPI or device trees, based on a boot setting. The ACPI boot flow has the advantage that any normal Linux distro should

Oryon v3 is designed for actual PC usage, not phones. But they aren't shipping until H1 next year. This is just a heads-up memo about Linux support, in that regard. Which is nice, I guess?

The original Oryon systems allowed you to boot directly into EL2 and skip Gunyah via BIOS settings. I assume this will be the same.

If you want thin client like behavior, you should look at stuff like Waypipe or just outright using RDP directly, both of which are much better at the job of "display remote graphical application on my computer" than X11's cl

That whole dust up just ended up being some bugginess in their native EGL/Wayland backend, which was known, but it was amplified by some distros accidentally enabling the Wayland backend by default. A build setting triggered the defaul

For users of older window managers on newer distros where X is likely to be removed "soon-ish" (vs LTS distros), the answer is to just use Wayback. It is a different X11 server implementation that uses Wayland under the hood, and

Today, no. Very simplified but the broad goal of those tools is to prevent manipulation and monitoring of the in-process state of the game. Consoles and PCs require this to varying degrees by requiring a signed boot chain at minimum. Consol
