Playing with GPUs are fun because you can validate very quickly that your new ideas don't work.

I rewrote my shaders in Rust. Now they're just as slow, AND they take a lot longer to compile 😎 aww yeah.

another couple days spent on a complex idea, completely trounced by "memcpy is hella cheap actually"

let's play "sex act or ML term": - self attention - cross attention - sparse attention - flash attention - multi-factor attention - attention piggybacking

I hold many controversial opinions. For example, I think that a process segfaulting inside of a VM should not be able to take down the host. Unfortunately, I use macOS. Where it can. And does. To my chagrin.

RIP Cirrus CI, jeeze https://cirruslabs.org/

machine learning? uhhh yeah, I hoping so.

I really like the field of machine learning because you can just take something written in Python, port it to Rust and MLX, and have it be two and a half times faster. (Okay, sometimes it's not that much faster, but still.)

linguistics researchers are massive dorks. "ARPABET" is a ridiculous name in itself but if you made a large pronunciation dataset, what would you name it? ..not "WikiPron", right? well. they would.

it has been [0] days since my mac's watchdog hard-rebooted because of OOM

Google Chrome macOS 🤝 broken IME implementations

hey it's a lot pleasant to write swift when sourcekit-lsp is working I mean they still tried to fit as many features as could fit in this bad boy but still

"rib crepe"

wish I could facetime my cat

I'm 3 levels deep into "but to make X, I first need to make Y" and all three levels are languages (AST DSL, IR, build). send help.

nah github, I'm not evil just french

if you type `localhost:` what port does your browser autocomplete to?

Maybe I just never answer my emails. Maybe they just compost or something. Mhh.

> the compiler is unable to type-check this expression in reasonable time good: clear, honest communication bad: that means the language design is a bit fucked, right? I shouldn't be seeing this several times a day.

And remember, kids, there are many ways to run benchmarks, and all of them are wrong.

guys it's too late for april fools' https://openai.com/index/openai-acquires-tbpn/

Ooh, I'm about to delete some code. Ooh, I'm gonna delete some code so hard. Give me ten minutes to measure and make sure that it's not actually faster than something more naive, and I'm gonna delete some code /so/ hard.

TIL how to make custom symbols for the SF Symbols 7 font (macOS icons). It's SVG all the way down!

😭😭😭

I'm sure there's a lot to like about Swift, but it's hiding very well.

happy tdov, nerds

you know what? fuck you. *dequantizes your weights*

wait jemalloc stopped being maintained a while ago right — is there an active fork? a spiritual successor? or are we all just leaking memory now

Happy sunday I'm making an IME I guess

gonna make a cargo test/nextest wrapper that 1) forces you to use cargo-nextest 2) translates `-p pkg` to `-E package(pkg)` to avoid cargo constantly rebuilding stuff

gf with pred/succ pronouns

ahhhh, "unroll loops", the "it's gonna get worse before it gets better" of compiler optimizations.

negative amounts of reading comprehension in here about GitHub's April 24 update. they're gonna start using YOUR COPILOT INTERACTIONS for training unless you opt-out. anyone outraged by this probably isn't using copilot in the first place, and therefore won't be impacted at all! actual update […]

hey is there any compiler out there that has tooling that steps through CFG-MIR in an interpreter AND machine code in LLDB in lockstep automatically to find where they diverge?
