I thought the recent post about branchless optimization in Rust was pretty cool. This morning I came across a HN post about someone's hand rolled word counter in C. I realized it w…

I got inspired by that branchless rust post a couple days ago. Tried it out here and got a ~50% speedup on a 10 million word file. (Averaged over 100 runs). File IO was the real bo…

Only anecdotal benchmarks for what ever that is worth. I notice the LLM reasoning things like: "The maintainability score went down, let me look.... I see I've duplicated existing …

Personally, I'd make the NULL_PTR error message a bit more specific. "Memory Error" is quite general. The real issue is that specific invalid arguments were passed in. Now since th…

Also, for some reason the "standard" in C return values is 0 for success.

Seems pretty good. When I was at NASA, their C coding required everything to be explicit. So `if(!w_cnt || !r_cnt) return NULL_PTR; ` was wrapped in real brackets. I was also told …

Add Sentrux to the LLM loop. https://github.com/sentrux/sentrux It's an offline coding grader. It works well: You ask for a new module, LLM starts spitting out bloated crap, the co…

I've been wondering if OpenAI make Luna artificially cheap to get people into their eco system. I think it's great and hope the price can stay the same.

Fountain codes are so lit

As someone who has implemented acoustic modems (underwater comms)... yes, yes very annoying. It's like a demonic dolphin. Bringing it into the ultra sonic band would help.

Standard disclosure of "I'm no LLM expert". Could tokens be pre-embedded and saved? Suppose you're transferring a context to another agent. Currently I just copy/paste, tell the ot…

IMO this is what makes rust excellent for LLM coding. Sure other languages support this type of design by interface, but I feel like Rust's compiler forces the LLM to conform to ex…

I mean at the end of the day, if it works, it works!

Oof, is it a fig tree or a fiddle leaf leaf tree, that's hilarious. There's the new pelican bench mark

sKiLl IsSuE - some redditor XD Agreed with the caveat that I think if you know what you're doing and are very cognizant, LLM generated Rust is amazing. I feel like it's hard compil…

It's kind of like assembly moving to C moving to Python, etc... That does not mean the need to C and assembly developers will disappear. Same thing with "manual coding" and "orches…

Infinitely, that's a stretch. Over the past year maybe 1.5x to 2.0x for me. As in: I can work on two projects at the same time with reduced amount of context switch. But that's it …

Any competent developer knows there are limits to prompting. Personally I've found LLM's suck at multi-threaded applications. (Because I've been tempted by the ~agentic loop~ and b…

It happens outside the developer world as well. People get information from Google AI mode and take it as 100% truth. In reality, blogs, reddit, and junk are often sourced link...w…

Lol. "AI watermark"... that's something important and should be in all AI generated images.

It's a good idea. Some of the readme sounds very vibed. I like the crypto element, but not sure how this relates to proving the shutdown sequence is implemented. Can't a robot sign…

I think the most important insight is the limitation of LLM perception:Slowly taking screenshots. That method of perception probably scales N^2... so sure with more compute, LoTR a…
