Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing. I wasn't sold about the source level snapshot tests, they seemed clunky and not that universal. But, I am definitely giving snapit a try after this blog post, and the other two linked. I

I have been tracking 5950x prices and anything over $300 seems unreasonable. And I think I'm just going to get a 7700x and a new MB and 32GB of RAM, it should be a $500-sh upgrade. It should have M3 like single threaded perf, multi thr

Since everyone is sharing, I'm using bookmarklets daily, the main ones being 3x and 2x, which find the video element in the current page and speed it up. I also made some overlay grid helpers, like 8h and 8v which create some overlay p

Another great post in the series. I've been trying to bootstrap my own deep learning framework in Rust for a while now. I'm still stuck at implementing the stuff on the CPU. But I've always wanted something running on GPU as

I'm vaguely familiar with Factor and hopefully not in process of reinventing it. I was planning to investigate this space just for fun. Most likely nothing will come out if it and that's ok, it's just a learning opportunity.

Maybe I'm not using the proper FP function term. I don't mean functions as objects that you can store or pass around or higher order functions. Just take some arguments from stack, and return some values. What I mean is that FORTH

There's a twitch streamer(tsoding) doing a FORTH like language from first principles. I've watched a couple of episodes and went started my own. I learned a bit of arm64 assembly, and now I have both an interpreter and a compiler

Well, Microsoft became quite a big company off the OS and their business suite. Of course it will be hard to find corporate clients for a mobile os, but may be doable. But, you're right, aside from Microsoft and Red hat, and maybe Core

You have fair points and much more experience than I have in this domain. Yeah, $5 even at a 1M users is probably not that much, having to maintain drivers, and as you mentioned serving updates, that would require a team. With regards to th

I was thinking not too long ago about how phones are missing an installable os with a clear business plan. There is the potential(given an unlocked bootloader), to use webusb to allow people flash the OS from an official website. And maybe

Eyesore is a precise word for the local keyword, from what I see the variable names in scripts are usually short, and the local keyword seems to draw more attention than the variable names themselves. Of course this can be alleviated with s

Yep, it makes sense. With the popularity of Roblox with the young people, and it using Lua for scripting, Lua can see a renaissance of some sorts.

I will definitely give it a try. Even after many years of not using terralang I still cannot forget what a good of an idea it is. Nelua seems like a more pragmatic implementation of similar ideas, but generates C code instead of embedding t

Bought the PDF after reading the free web version, the work definitely has a lot of love put into it and this has to be rewarded. I've skimmed the web version till the end, but thoroughly read half of it, still learned a lot. Especiall

You're right about Swift for Tensorflow. It is an interesting development. I have installed swift on Linux just to play with it. Was dissapointed to see that Swift for Tensorflow was a fork of the Swift compiler, and haven't follo

You might be right, I seem to have confused the pytorch(and tf eager mode) differentiation approaches with numerical methods. I'm making a Pytorch inspired ML framework, and indeed, each op node, defines also a backward pass, which is

AFAIK, It's mainly used for implementing gradient descent, which is used for training neural networks. Frameworks like pytorch, tensorflow, probably used back propagation to calculate the gradient of a multidimensional function. But in

The way I see it, this is what programmers do, they turns things into programs. A good example are hardware description languages, where hardware designers write programs, and at the end a very complex chip design is generated. Which is the

Yes, my plan is to do it in Rust. I did start it in luajit first, because I thought that it will be a faster feedback loop. I created an OpenGL window, and set up nodemon to restart the luajit app on changes. It is quite fast, but still not

I've used it, it's very good. I've started my own programmable cad after using openscad, I just couldn't look at aliased lines and weird colors anymore, plus making complex models is slow, and bevels are hard. My own cad

I'm a powershell user for about 7 years now, or more. Have a lot of bindings, helpers in my powershell profile, and use it everyday for work. That being said, I'll never use it on Linux as my shell. It's just too slow to star

The description says it's autograd + XLA. So I assumed it always compiles to GPUs via XLA. But, had a look in the code and jax has cublas and RoCm blas, and it looks like there is a flow where it uses the gpu directly, unless I'm

I've been playing with OpenCL lately. Is such a shame that the support is so spotty, and even Apple(who I think started it, probably as a CUDA alternative for their AMD cards), are deprecating it. Even with it not being able to squeeze

One of the few things I remember from watching fastai course a few years ago, is to train a model with smaller data. For example, instead of 2k×2k images, downscale them to for ex 400×400. A network with a better design should still learn f

The other option is to use the best available x86 mobile CPUs, and these at the moment seem to be from AMD. From what I've seen even current AMD CPUs are competitive with M1. Ryzen 4900HS has a fair lead in multicore performance and cl

Only wishful thinking from my side. As mentioned in the post, I hope that the M1 performance and aggressive apple marketing will push premium pc laptop manufactures in adopting the best performance x86 CPUs. And I also hope that AMD will se

You're right, it could be that Nvidia will push for more beefed up cortex CPUs, with the same tricks employed in m1, like larger L1/l2 caches, increasing the die size, and add more complex pipelines, put the ram on the soc, and an

Yep. Mac's look like a comfortable unixy environment. Preinstalled zsh, a fast terminal emulator (item), gnu utils. I'm sure I could make it work as a dev machine. I have to admit that m1 macbook air battery life is compelling. A
