Write the code yourself until you get stuck on something. Post the code, the context and the problem and the LLM will suggest something very sensible usually. I find these things are excellent at smaller but tricky-for-a-human problems.

I’m hoping this isn’t as attractive as it sounds for non-hobbyists because the performance won’t scale well to parallel workloads or even context processing, where parallelism can be better used.
Hopefully this makes it really nice for people that want the experiment with LLMs and have a local model but means well funded companies won’t have any reason to grab them all vs GPUs.
I think it’s going to be great for smaller shops that want on premise private cloud. I’m hoping this will be a win for in-memory analytics on macOS.
I don’t think the effect Instagram and TikTok has on this attention market can be ignored. Living in a big Asian city I will check those first.

Isn’t a memory arena an application level issue? Like with Arrow I can memory map a file and expose a known range to an array as a buffer.

Is there a world in which OpenSwiftUI will be usable on Android?

> Cloudflare had its unwrap fiasco,
Was it a fiasco? Really? The rust unwrap call is the equivalent to C code like this:
int result = foo(…);
assert(result >= 0);
You can write buggy code in rust just like you can in any other language.
This is the equivalent of force-unwrap in Swift, which is strongly discouraged. Swift format will reject this anti-pattern. The code running the internet probably should not force unwrap either.
Wow, just plain 500s on customer sites. That's a level of down you don't see that often.
Yes Claude is down with a 500 (cloudflare).
The largest number factored by Shor's algorithm is 21.

As someone on a similar journey, I've found doing open source work on fundamental projects really helps with the feeling of being alone.
Perhaps someone who knows what they're talking about should update the Wikipedia page on io_uring [1]. Someone with a casual interest in Linux internals will probably get a poor impression of io_uring security which appears to be largely due to Google using an old kernel in Android [2].
