   Interesting. Thanks for those numbers. I'd be interested in trying some real-world applications myself.

   "While it does not have the aggressive optimization stance (or complexity) of larger compilers such as LLVM or gcc, its output is often not too far off: the same paper showed Cranelift generating code that ran ~2% slower than V8 (Turbo

   LLVM is a trap. You bootstrap extra fast, you get all sorts of optimization passes and platforms for free, but you lose out on the ability to tune the final optimization passes and performance of the linking stages. I think we'll see c

   I used it briefly and then researched it and it seemed like at the time (mid-2000s), nobody could say which of the menagerie of components of the coal tar was actually the effective one. I stopped pretty much at that point.

   This might be one of those cures that works like the old T-Gel shampoo (ie: carcinogenic coal tar that turned out to be immune-suppressing enough to prevent dandruff eventually caused cancer). Though, at the ages when Osteoarthritis shows u

   I forgot that I had made this until seeing it, but I have a very basic 14-segment font editor for a project I've been meaning to pick up again at some point. https://github.com/mmastrac/gpsclock Font JSON file too

   Interesting that models still evolve fast enough that dedicated model-specific hardware isn't a big contender right now. We're still seeing major scaling gains on mostly generic platforms.

    This is interesting. I would be curious to try a setup where I keep a local hybrid cache and transition blocks to deep storage for long-term archival via S3 rules. Some napkin math suggests this could be a few dollars a month to keep a few

    Hopefully this is a wakeup call for anyone thinking that phone number validation is sufficient to prevent botting and fraud.

    AliExpress has a beautiful 7" screen for peanuts. It has a surprisingly clear display and has so many uses: https://youtu.be/LC3INaZVqFA?si=2BV5N3_7TtWPRlUj It even has USB power and speakers.

    Given the current err climate of thought purity, doesn't this seem a little too risky of a product to enable?

    The kitty key protocol solves this, but your app and terminal need to support it. Many do.

    This is the first time I've ever seen a macOS update and not seen a single feature worth bothering to upgrade over. Is there anything developer-facing? I don't use any Apple ecosystem stuff and this is all that AFAICT

    Social media is 90% outrage farming by nation states and individuals with agendas. I think the experiment failed. Humans in large groups are so trivially manipulated by algorithms. Our ape brains at large just can't deal with a firehos

    Things are not healthy in the USA, and have not been for a long time. It's all about scoring points now, owning the other side, getting soundbites, etc. It's sad that it's progressed to this. From an outsider, it really feels

    You could easily do a zero-knowledge proof thing where you transmit a bitmask of emoji used over the next 365 days, with N bits randomly permuted. In aggregate, you'd still be able to count usage without saying definitively someone use

    From someone outside the US (Canada) and in a country that's been abused by its giant next-door neighbour -- longer than just the current, explicit abuse -- I kinda hope this recession is deep and hurts badly. We've already seen s

    Modern GB switches are pretty efficient (<10W for sure), I think a Pi might be 4-5W.

    Is the network the bottleneck here at all? That's impressive for a gigabit switch.

    Ha. I live in Calgary and had never heard about this one. The +15 network is reasonably good but it seems to have stalled out 20-30 years ago.
