Have you tried the OpenAI deep research in the past week or so? It's been updated to use 5.2 https://x.com/OpenAI/status/2021299935678026168 (I work at OpenAI, but on the infra sid…

Yes: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xt1KNDmOYqA Title: “ Casey Muratori | Smart-Pointers, RAII, ZII? Becoming an N+2 programmer”

One concern with PTWRITE is that it is somewhat "slow," at least according to this: https://community.intel.com/t5/Processors/Intel-Processor-Tr... I wonder if this is a general is…

Known users: - LTTng tracer - tcmalloc Curious if there are other prominent users of rseq.

Hi, love the article. You mention in the article that a hardware mechanism for tracing should exist -- have you investigated the intel_pt (processor trace) extension? I believe thi…

There's some ambiguity for argument destruction order for example: https://stackoverflow.com/a/36992250 Similarly, the construction/destruction order for std::tuple elements is not…

Say I wanted to rank my own personal collection of songs by retention/engagement— are there any open source libraries or crisp descriptions of algorithms/statistical models that on…

The runtime is quadratic for a given context size, although it seems like there is some progress on this front https://gwern.net/note/attention

Is `(x - 1)` not a runtime cost if `x` is a runtime variable?

Is this a 1-1 comparison? If the ARM compile is compiling to ARM binaries then there might be less work/optimizations since it is a newer architecture. Seems like a test with two v…

Could you describe what makes the Google Fibers so nice? I'm also really curious why they require modifications to the Linux kernel. My first guess would be stronger integration wi…

Related: is it possible to reliably maintain physical disk space quotas in Linux (similar to cgroups)? Furthermore, is it possible to say how much "space" you would use if you were…

In my experience this is only true for C/C++ (with a decent amount of work to setup CROSSTOOL properly). As soon as you start to get into Python, and Python C++ interop, it becomes…

What is an example of a 3-space embedding or interesting literature? I'm having difficulties googling the term.

Cruise uses ROS https://roscon.ros.org/2018/presentations/ROSCon2018_Lessons...

Some FANGs definitely use Arista/Cisco. As far as I know white box hardware is mostly for top of the rack switches (as opposed to backbone infra).

Some CPU heavy operations like crypto are not put in a threadpool. While it may be running C code, it will block the main thread while executing. See https://github.com/nodejs/node…

Why is the 16GB RAM + FHD screen (1080p) variant not available in the US and Canada? It seems like this has been a long-standing issue since at least the 9360. This is very frustra…

The majority of the userspace is not in python, but binaries. None of the magic is in the asics (which are commodity Broadcom).

I'm very curious, what pain did you see with the repo.py tool?

This is fantastic! The biggest standout feature in my opinion is workspaces. I've been using workspaces on a client project with many sub-projects and it has been a pleasure. Share…

Info on typescript+d3 would be really nice. With the large scope of d3, a little auto-complete would go a long way for a beginner like me.
