I encourage folks with a PlayStation 5 (or 4) to participate in the blackout by unplugging their console for the week of August 23 at 7:00 PM your local time and run to August 31 a…

Ah, I'm behind the times.

Yeah, guess I should have used the past tense there.

Neat. XLA predates MLIR. Interesting stories there. You'd have to stop by the Bay Area LLVM monthly meetup to hear them. :-X > So if XLA already uses LLVM, why is our approach diff…

Heh, from the kernel patch: https://lore.kernel.org/all/CALCETrXbj__SFQMzPZhES5y6-sh4np-... > I saw a fun bug report in ripgrep and a studious but pretty bad AI-generated analysis …

I was able to use Claude to translate a few thousand lines of assembler from one syntax+toolchain to another. Process was definitely iterative; had to keep adding a few rules along…

The Linux kernel prefers GAS (or clang) w/ the C preprocessor. Luckily most of clang's assembler unit tests (and LLVM's MC layer unit tests) also use GAS style syntax.

I like the inline asm sanitizer; probably could be extracted out of Fil-C.

Shrug, then write a defect report?

Just setup lidarr and plex. Not happy about having to re-arrange all my loose files, but claude and beets are helping.

Final Fantasy FMVs set to edgy nu metal. Man, I _had_ a limewire shirt (somewhere); they interviewed at my college. Where is that important piece of history?

> There's no control flow out of the inline assembly. So no `asm goto` support yet?

I find this point to be generally why C can typically beat C++ in terms of code size; generic functions operating on void* are much less type safe, but the tradeoff is code size. T…

> it took significant effort to e.g. get clang to compile the Linux kernel (needing patches in both projects). Tell me about it. :-)

I spent a bit of time implementing parts of a C runtime for the brief tenure I had maintaining LLVM's libc. I quickly came the realization that a lot of the interfaces that made it…

Good then that Amazon sells it by the 55 gal drum then. https://www.amazon.com/Passion-Lubes-Natural-Water-Based-Lub... > This product is out of stock Ah, shoot, there go my weeken…

I find it ironic; George Orwell was English!

It's a shame we never got a package manager for C (or C++). EDIT: perhaps I should have been clearer; by not having one early on, we now have multiple competing package managers, w…

A long time ago, I wrote a small chapter in a WebGL book on asm.js. https://webglinsights.github.io/ It was fun to see the rise of asm.js, which was a precursor to Web Assembly. So…

Dig the posters in the background; I just saw Burning Ambition in theaters last week. Up the irons, Earth dog! Ghost opened for Iron Maiden a few years ago; I saw them all together…

There was a recent class action suit against GM for this.
