    Do you have examples of complex algorithms running on the gpu with rust with competative performance? Radix sort might be a good one to start with

    I don’t think this needed to be parallelized.

    I don’t understand why this is a useful effort. It seems like a solution in source of a problem. It’s going to be incredibly easy to end up with hopelessly inefficient programs tha…

    This is an interesting line in the readme: > The language forces clarity — not ceremony. I find this statement curious because a language, like this, without ability to build abstr…

    In my mind, cad that you’re not going to manufacture is “modeling”. Not sure if that’s a common verbal distinction.

    Breps. Nearly all commercial cad packages operate on boundary representations of objects.

    Unfortunately, using a geometry kernel [1] that operates on triangle meshes means this is a no-go for serious CAD usage. [1]: https://github.com/elalish/manifold

    I don’t think it’s falsifiable until there are autism diagnostics that aren’t behavioral. Right now, they’re 100% behavioral, which that any theory that tries to cluster autism sym…

    I find this type of science is infuriating. Monotropism as a theory of autism or adhd is equivalent to saying that “tendency to focus on a few things” is a theory of autism or adhd…

    As usual, GPT-1 has the more beautiful and compelling answer.

    Sure. I can easily see that often being the case for arbitrary code but not interpreter dispatch loops.

    Comment #44469206

    I must be missing something here. How would this help predict interpreter dispatch? Those won’t be a function of previous branch history or pc, which may very well be independent o…

    How did it get into the standard then?

    Is it possible to initialize a prng in C++’s std correctly?

    It would be insane to put a system as complex as hazard pointers in the C++ standard.

    This is cool for sure. I think you’ll ultimately find that this can’t really be faster than modern OoO cores because python instructions are so complex. To execute them OoO or even…

    Readme has “add tests” in the TODO section

    It seems the product brief is behind a sign-up page. Please indicate to your sales folks that this is highly counterproductive.

    Typeclasses are conceptual interfaces. They don’t have anything to do with vtables.

    Depending on what kind of software you tend to work on, you may have written a lot of subtly incorrect C.

    Do you still use spinal? Have there been other advances in HDL that you've seen over the last 6 years?

    Using a list of heap allocated objects for a 2d FFT is an odd choice.

    Forcing an unreasonable price for all broadband providers is an excellent way to prevent any from operating in the area. It seems like people learn this lesson over and over — a ma…
