Viewing profile — staticfloat

I love that this article includes a test program at the bottom to allow you to verify its claims.

This is a very old answer about the M1, but yes what you’re saying is possible: https://stackoverflow.com/a/67590869/230778

While you can cause the compiler to run longer to squeeze the binary size down, the compiler has a baseline number of compiler passes that it runs over the IR of the program being …

Just a small piece of feedback, it looks like there's a small typo on the last paragraph of the page: > Interviews can be scheduled (and rescheduled) interviews around the clock, 7…

Other posters have pointed out that this is incorrect, but I wanted to give a bit of intuition as to how signals can be received when they are below the noise floor. First, as a de…

I ran into an issue like this in my first ever job! I accidentally filled up a cluster with junk files and the sysadmin started sending me emails saying I needed to fix it ASAP but…

Yes, that’s what it means for me. I’ve never heard someone use the word arbitrary to mean anything other than “a random choice”, or even “a poorly thought-out choice”. My professor…

I really like the integration of lower-level memory control in a superset of Python. Trying to maintain compatibility with such a large and varied ecosystem is a daunting task, and…

It is a little disappointing that they're setting the bar against vanilla Python in their comparisons. While I'm sure they have put massive engineering effort into their ML compile…

> The Julia correctness issues are things like basic math functions, called in simple normal ways, returning wrong numbers. If you have an example of this, I'd be interested in tra…

Small correction; it’s DisplayLink, not DisplayPort. You have to use DisplayLink because they do some part in software as a part of their driver (which you must download and instal…

We actually use this in our CI system to limit write access outside of the build environment’s build folder. You can see some Julia code that generates the sandbox config rules her…

This linear scaling per-core doesn't match my experience with using the AMX co-processor. In my experience, on the M1 and the M1 Pro, there are a limited number of AMX co-processor…

My guess is that it’s due to git looking at its own base name to figure out which command it’s supposed to run as, kind of like busybox does.

To add to Keno's sibling comment, Julia, as a JIT compiler, essentially creates large chunks of standalone, "static" code, and runs those as much as it can, breaking out into the "…

In the Julia world, we make redistributable binaries for all sorts of things; you can find lots of packages here [0], and for LLVM in particular (which Julia uses to do its codegen…

Aha! A chance to plug one of my favorite CGP Grey videos that explores this very question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEYh5WACqEk

Imagine instead of getting a grid of pixels once every 30th of a second, you instead get one pixel’s value, alone with its location, along with the time stamp at which the pixel’s …

Note that the restriction on external monitors can be worked around by using a DisplayLink compatible dongle/dock, since it uses a custom driver (I assume it does something in soft…

In case there's anyone out there with an M1 MBP that desperately wants multiple monitors, if you use a DisplayLink compatible external dock, something about the alternate driver th…

Hah! I did the exact same thing when I discovered the “net send” command. Only me and my friend were playing around so we sent eachother messages like “I know where you live”..... …

We call these "system images" and you can generate them with PackageCompiler [0]. Unfortunately, it's still a little cumbersome to create them, but this is something that we're imp…

Yeah, we've managed to get Julia itself running pretty well on the M1, there are still a few outstanding issues such as backtraces not being as high-quality as on other platforms. …

Small nitpick; its Project.toml (or JuliaProject.toml, to avoid name clashes) not Projects.toml

They are talking about total operations, but since big O notation ignores constant factors, and they explicitly ignore the addition steps (because for large n multiplication domina…
