I interviewed at Infarm a while back. The process was pretty great, and I got an offer. One of the founders took me on a tour of their Berlin factory, and it was super impressive - they had adapted these gigantic 3 storey automatic German

I think you missed the point. There is one reality, and you can’t choose to avoid it. A lot of people say they can pick their own reality, but really they are just spouting a mix of wishful, naive or downright silly nonsense that lacks any

This makes me irate, in a way that’s hard to express. They are not doing it wrong. What’s the threat model you’re saying people are not accounting for? eu-west-1 getting nuked? “AWS” also isn’t a monolithic entity: for all intents and purpo

> That said, I am surprised by the results - in my mental model of how things work this does not add up. Rust assembly is ~50 instructions, roughly ~30 of them being vector (SIMD) instructions and the rest of ~20 instructions being the s

Wow, I spent way too long on this. Instruction counts are not everything. The rust assembly is completely branchless, and on my M2 MacBook I'm benching it at ~2ns per call vs ~10ns per call with the equivalent C++ code (running this:

Imagine for just a second that the ability for computers to count “references” has no bearing on this, there is a limitation and that LLMs suffer from the same issue as you do.

Depending on if the format you use is self-describing or not, it’s possible “sending a plain array” and “sending a struct with 1 field that is an array” could have the same format on the wire. If it is self describing, the overhead could be

It’s a shame this is NFSv3. It’s my understanding that NFSv4 is significantly faster to access due to pipelining requests?

all I need _right now_ is a simple array Nobody knows the future, and preparing for the future is a huge part of software engineering. Sending top-level arrays instead of sending them inside a struct is never the right way.

Every python linter or code quality tool has been able to detect unused local variables like this since at least the year of our lord, 1841. You don’t need this baked into the language.

Interesting article! Right at the start, the first example of a non-vectorized popcnt implementation is said to produce “comically bad code, frankly”, but in release mode with the native target CPU, it does appear to be vectorising the func

How do you adjust or evolve the blocklist with this, without making previously generated IDs incorrect? The ID is simply incremented if it is blacklisted [1]. So the ID is fixed to the blacklist content, and adjusting it in any way invalida

I’ve been using Python for going on 14 years now, and I had no idea utcnow() returned a naive date time. I happen to live and deploy to a (mostly) UTC time zone, so i expect a bunch of my code is subtly wrong. One of my projects added all o
