>Hacker News not any more, eh?

I do CUDA for a living (not inference) and for the life of me (and a couple of LLMs for that matter) I cannot figure out what you mean by "SM pairs". Do you mean the coupled dies o…

I'd love for someone to give me an alternative to CUDA but I don't primarily use GPUs for inference, I do 64-bit unsigned integer workloads and the only people who seem to care eve…

>If you wanted to build a "scripting language" version of Rust, you could probably lose (2). Not really no. I work on an interpreted language runtime in Rust professionally and it'…

Debugging the Rust is the easy part. I write vanilla CUDA code that integrates with Rust and that one is the hard part. Abstracting over the GPU backend w/ more Rust isn't a big de…

"Quake terminal" has been a term of art for a regular terminal that drops down from the top of the screen like the terminal in Quake did for the last 20-22 years. I remember this b…

I was comparing end-to-end builds. I pay more attention to build times than someone who doesn't do it for a living typically does. https://bitemyapp.com/blog/rebuilding-rust-leptos…

I'm also curious because I've (recently) compiled more or less identical programs in Zig and Rust and they took the same amount of time to compile. I'm guessing people are just mak…

I'm a fan but Bill Clinton was sweeping away a lot of cold war apparatus that no longer seemed necessary. It's going to be a lot harder to do anything sustainable or worthwhile wit…

>That's hard to believe. I understand why you'd feel that way but classics departments aren't what they used to be. It's pretty common for even elite universities these days to not…

Foster was basically the rallying point for people opposed to the grammarian methods of teaching languages that started in Classics but ended up taking over how foreign language is…

I've written parsers and compilers in Rust. I used DAGs in a fairly standard way for stuff that needs it like references. I also work on a complicated VM with a custom memory alloc…

Mega Drive is probably earliest that was capable of it really, but Namco System 21 and especially Sega Model 1 (1990) were designed with 3d/polygons in mind but have relatively old…

I just finished posting a comment disagreeing with the author and I think you've nailed the problem with their argument more succinctly than I did. They're assuming "Forgotten Real…

This post takes the way D&D is played today to be how Gary and his contemporaries played D&D and it leads them to the conclusion that D&D is the opposite of medieval. As near as I …

This isn't even remotely accurate to Christian belief in either the Catholic or Orthodox churches. There isn't a single church father who believed women didn't have souls, that's f…

Gluttony is definitely a sin in the Catholic Church and is one of the well known seven deadly sins.

Higher demand leads to higher prices and doesn't lead to anything become net-net cheaper. That's a supply-side thing entirely and usually requires a massive regulatory or technolog…

There's no difference, you can go look at an Amazon listing for Lao Gan Ma and it says this: "Lao Gan Ma Spicy Chili Crisp (Chili Oil Sauce)"

iOS version refuses to run on my Apple Silicon Mac because I have the security thingy disabled for debugging :\

Not what I've seen in strength training or among people doing physical labor (including my wife who used to be a carpenter).

Ditto, 100% same story. I kinda knew I had ADHD and was able to investigate some childhood stuff that suddenly made more sense, but I waited until I had a crisis that was compromis…
