Rust macros are just programs that take source code as input and produce source code as output. These programs can do anything that the user running them does. You can compile them to WASM, ship them over the network, and run them on a WASM

Hi dang, i don't know where else to contact you. I see you posting comments about there being multiple comment pages. Is there anything that could be done to avoid that, like allowing more comments per page (e.g. up to 10 of the curren

I have a MacBook Air 2012, and have been waiting to upgrade for... 2 years already. The laptop will probably end up being 10 years old by the time I upgrade... - crappy webcam, - no built-in SD card reader (a 1TB SD card is ~200$, and my mu

I would just use beta instead and "turn it" into a nightly compiler with RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP=1.

How is ISPC's support for AMD MI supercomputing accelerators, or Nvidia's A100s ? I feel like Hip, OneAPI, ISPC, etc. haven't improved anything over CUDA. With CUDA we had one proprietary API. Now we have 3-4.

You can create an instruction to perform X newton iterations in 1 cycle if you want, and you can pick X to give you 14-bit precision. With such an instruction, you could exponentially increase the precision in 2 cycles by just using the sam

I prefer architectures that have a vector instruction for computing one or two Newton iterations instead. That way you can quickly get the precision that you want ;)

Indeed. Apparently the support for stable Rust was merged onto master months ago, but there hasn't been a release since then. 0.5 should be the first version that builds on stable Rust according to this thread: https://githu

Your comment and the comment you are replying to are both correct. Rocket's current released version is 0.4.5, and that version builds with a stable Rust toolchain.

It doesn't, and just falls back to using full bandwidth as usual.

While deprecated, intel has also an opensource machine code analyzer called IACA. It is also worth pointing out that these "analyzers" are just tools that simulate particular CPU architectures. Their models are just approximations
