The trillon dollars question is more, will the current GPUs still be relevant in 3 years? 5? 10? Will incredibly efficient new GPUs appear? will custom ASIC, models burned in silicons, take off? Will unified memory systems become usable? Th

Type confusion, leads to using an object in memory with the wrong type, that means accessing memory with a different layout, like an out of bounds buffer. So I think memory safety does matter in that case.

It’s like principal component analysis, the main axis, I don’t mean reduction in a negative way.

It’s fascinating to live through a the emergence of a new technology and to see people trying to make sense of it as they go. I personally think that a lot of the words used around AI, harness, SKILLS, agents, RAG.. are make up words or clo

I love to combine assertions with « restartability ». If you’re program has entered an unknown, failed state, just restart it from a known state. Even better if you can divide a complex system in sub modules that can recover independently w

It’s also an old devops trick to put some GB files on the FS of critical systems (databases, ..) when there are no way to dynamically add more space/volumes and monitoring is not trusted. Bit hard to explain though.

That’s a good point. Usually when people say to prefer composition over inheritance, that does not apply to the inheritance found in GUI, but as an alternative way to share behaviors as a property, « has a » instead of « is a », like has a

I did have a look at bevy ECS approach and find it very verbose and really foreign, it’s in « not rust anymore» territory. Macros are a dangerous tool in terms of long term maintainability and are hurting compilation times. But it’s still r

I almost never use inheritance beside using some kind of interfaces/traits to declare a contract. However, the only time where I’m missing code/data reuse through inheritance is with GUI. Some mostly flat hierarchies of widgets ar

No, IPO pops, and honey moon periods are common. And there are plenty of ways to manipulate the price, such as issuing a low float to a hyper hyped stock..

Feature flags are often ridiculously over engineered. Check a config, bdd value, env var to dynamically go one path or the other. That’s all, you must either have a small feature or refactor the code to easily switch at a high level. If you

Well, maybe for simple web apps, but for complex applications there is a noticeable slowdown, I am not even talking about monsters such as jira, but well optimized apps such as vs code, there is a performance ceiling which is lower than for

On complex problems with lengthy proofs, the first step that I would have done is to ask 5.5 pro in a new, unrelated, session, to be very critical, to try to find flaws in the arguments. And certainly not to send it to a fellow colleague to

The most interesting exchange, related to disclosure, is this one: https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2026/05/01/3 > Nope, sorry, we are NOT allowed to notify anyone about anything &quot

Indeed, but the author left a note: > there are newer GPU-accelerated font rendering systems that use the vectors. I have not yet explored these.

Mounting Volume and dealing with FS permissions. They are many different workarounds but it’s a known pain point.

That’s very interesting, but as a counter point, it seems that the major spain blackout was partially caused by such a voltage increase that was not mitigated properly. So yes there are mitigations but it still is a major cause of concern I

Well yes, but this is not a competing technology but a complementary one. You can use this to improve the efficiency of a regular solar panel and as a way to still produce electricity when there is less direct light but enough temperature d

Cars are an obvious application. Some parts get very hot, and any electricity produced without engine or fuel add to range / efficiency.

Yes I wonder if with the current trend, solar might become the real alternative, less expensive, less risky. But to be fair, you have to consider your « aside », because nuclear has the tremendous advantage of working when it’s cloudy, dark

Sorry I didn’t mean implementing a raw http server like nginx, but just writing a backend.

by iTokio 1y ago
Go has transparent async io and a very nice M:N threading model that makes writing http servers using epoll very simple and efficient. The ergonomics for this use case are better than in any language I ever used.

You can can also run a detailed explain plan and with a suitable visualizer it’s trivial to see where the query fell apart. You get to see the actual data distribution this way.
