This is one of the meandering arguments in the post. The whole executive team, in fact. But it doesn't compare how much other executives are making, etc.

I feel there's something in this article, but the meandering really ruins it. Either way, it's obvious that no earnings call would explain the metrics or decisions behind a layoff.…

As aek and dahart said, updating a BVH (refitting) is not expensive. If anything, it's bandwidth limited. The challenge is minimizing the cost of (selectively) rebuilding.

I get that he's maybe a bit into LLMs, but your take is pretty unfair. He's said repeatedly that as a non-native English speaker, his writing will come across a bit strangely. If h…

0 x inf is also NaN. It's not just division.

But it's not clear that using Sonnet or any other LLM as a "grader" would result in the same improvement. For objective grading, you could be sure that the additional adaptive supp…

Do you have a larger study planned for the Fall? It definitely seems promising. I'm curious how well you feel this worked because the subject was Statistics (objective grading) ver…

And it made a classic optimization: removing New Zealand :).

This is nice work, but I found the bug finding example to be weird: > One such bug was in the sign function for zigzag decoding of the datrs/varinteger library. On input Std.U64.MA…

I appreciate the focus on amusement in: > Some of the newly added features may come as a surprise to those of you who keep a close track of ZLUDA development. Most of them were pre…

Yep. Google does this in Finland for the Hamina datacenter: https://blog.google/company-news/inside-google/around-the-gl...

529 and not 429?

Technically, we did RTSL before Ingo and then Matt did their stuff at Intel. LLVM wasn't particularly usable in 2007, but Austin and I did try it (this isn't in the paper!). A few …

Because it's complex?

Perhaps you missed work like https://crfm.stanford.edu/2025/05/28/fast-kernels.html ?

That's not the "edge" in the title. It means competitive advantage in this case.

How do you like the brikka vs the classic?

How's your experience with Fil-C been? Is it materially useful to you in practice?

This used to be true, but GCP forced their hand in January of 2024 with https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/networking/eliminatin... AWS matched a few months later: https://aws.…

Yeah, but that missing context is super important. If they want it for local dev work, that's pretty different from wanting a high-performance air gapped object store without rewri…

Neat. I wish I could select just a couple lines at once though. I feel like the 1/2/3 plus one of the other lines would make something more appealing.

Compared to roll-your-own with S3 or GCS it does :)

Will do. I wanted mostly to (re)inform the submitter.
