(caveat: I’m sure they are very smart people, it’s a huge infra/ops challenge to deploy that at scale, I’m not calling anyone out just doing a little wishful thinking)

one day homebrew is going to figure out how to distribute diffs for its index

that day, society will flourish in ways never imagined before

congrats!!

employment status update: i am!

starting 1-st of may i'll be working full time as a rust maintainer in @rustnl.bsky.social's maintainers team. a dream come true :)

i'll be continuing work on maintaining the rust compiler & related projects, but now full time & paid ^^'

now thinking of "hardening C/C++ libraries even though safe Rust alternatives exist" as "harm reduction"

the "needle exchange" of systems programming, if you will

Social media is often confounding, but you did a very good job at replying something that has almost entirely nothing to do with what I originally posted about so, good job.

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

I'm struggling to look it up, do you have a link?

a pile of rust internal compiler errors

ooooh. uhhhh. aaaaah.

ooooh pretty

I've seen "kernel", or "op", or...

in Metal everything is just a Command buffer.. idk. I'm fuzzy on the exact terminology

yeah! transcription/dictation app => ASR (automated speech recognition) => Transformer architecture (for modern stuff like Qwen3) => lots of matmul => want GPU => Metal shaders on macOS => annoying to write by hand => burn-wgpu is fun => compiles in proc macros => ouch

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"

"Hey all, Boris from the Claude Code team here. Contrary to user reports, we've always been at war with Eurasia."

Yeah I’m not surprised

Would you like to visit my home? I can show you. Obviously not every segmentation fault, Jesus.

A claude transcript saying "the problem is that the test should work"

claude is having a day:

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.

Cirrus Labs to join OpenAI Cirrus Labs announces an agreement to join OpenAI as part of the Agent Infrastructure team.

RIP Cirrus CI, jeeze cirruslabs.org

machine learning? uhhh yeah, I hoping so.

It's a Washington Post article saying "Can AI be a 'child of God' inside anthropics meeting with Christian leaders," and the subtitle is "The artificial intelligence company asked religious leaders for guidance in building a moral chatbot”

I swear to God, Anthropic is always up to the most embarrassing shit. Seriously cut it out. Oh my God, go back to pretending you're not actually doing shrinkflation.
