It seems that in https://perf.rust-lang.org/dashboard.html the improvements have essentially plateaued, I wonder how they decide how much work to invest there. (Although as the language complexity continues to grow maybe th

This is indeed a good moel. From the article's context, dGPUs have more of both bandwidth and flops, the compute-intensity balance isn't necessarily the deciding factor on whether there's a speedup on GPU. In this article the

This WAF scenario is different, it's a porous unreliable last line defense, like anti-virus. Having a mitigation stop something != not having the vulnerability in the first place.

I don't know, do share if there's something you can link. At first blush it just sounds like something to allow multiple shader compute elements to work more efficiently together ("cooperate") on a single bigger matrix c

The GPU prorgramming language tech landscape is generally pretty low-tech on the compilers side. Tensor cores are not supported. (Culturally of course the big one is the fragmentation and the proprietary nature of everything which is the re

As we regulate AI with concerns energy and emissions, wouldn't this be the low hanging fruit to forbid first?

I don't know that having separate compile-time is relevant for the experience. But Forth, assembler, B and BCPL. TCL also seems to have a compiler: https://www.tcl.tk/software/tclpro/compiler.html

Depends on whether you're talking about Europe the continent or eg the EU, though "many" if of course a vague enough claim to be technically true for any corner of the world. But relateedly, US household energy expenditure is

Yes, I was imagining something like this for the "too new" alternative. In 2005 you did already have safer, capable, mature systems programming languages available, eg Ocaml, but for cultural reasons they were not often used in SV

Before lightly using this argument I recommend using a language that really doesn't have types. The difference between getting your errors at runtime / compile time is much much smaller than the difference between those and not g

Yep, looks pretty likely now to end up on the wrong side of history in the climate catastrophe (working counter to getting international emissions agreements, sponsorship of oil industry & having hugely outsized emissions per capita).

Interesting that in the Cortex-A15 this is a "key design feature". Are there any numbers about its effect other chips? I guess this could also be used as an optimization target at least on devices that are more long lived designs

Also of course Java and C# overwhelmingly use threads and not async for this kind of thing.

From the docs: "The add operation runs in amortized constant time, that is, adding n elements requires O(n) time". Given the linear time time complexity, it seems obvious that adding a thread pointer to the list won't contri

Thanks. It's an interesting analysis around the "vulnerabilities decay exponentially" model, discussing how there are more vulnerabilities to be found in new code than old code given equal attention.

Framing terrorism as "war" and saturating the news with it worked really well in recent history for transforming your country into a paranoid proto-fascist state.
