I am curious how those justify sustaining open source or doing programming 'for fun' when you can make a profit from it instead. I have a few open source libraries that I find mildly dumb in retrospect because there's no profit to be had in maintenance (beyond my use case). The only respectable open source development is paid dev-time by companies (as it is within each company's interest to combine forces rather than maintain their own bi..

I wrote these notes while reading Julia Evans’ (excellent) Behind “Hello World” on Linux post post. I learned a lot from it. If you haven’t read it yet, I highly recommend you do! I am on Ubuntu Linux 22.04 LTS and there is filed called hello.py with content print ( "Hello world!" ) It’s basically “What happens when you do python hello.py in the terminal, on Linux ?” from the point you run the command to the point you see the o..

Lately I've been tinkering with optimizing Sasha's llama2.rs , a fast Rust port of Karpathy's llama2.c. It takes advantage of Rust nightly's portable_simd, which allows you to emit AVX2 or AVX512 instructions using a relatively clean set of abstractions, and also run inference on a quantized llama2, so it's pretty fast. One of the core loops looks like this: let mask = ( 1 << BITS ) - 1 ; // BITS is 4 let elems_p....

When we’re writing programs, we usually deal with some kind of dependencies: databases, loggers, caches, telemetry… Setting up a full-blown Dependency Injection framework could be a solution to this, but Effect has some aces in its sleeves that make DI frameworks unnecessary. Let’s see how we can manage dependencies using Effect. Intro to Effect series: What is Effect? Handling Errors Managing Dependencies Concurrency in Effect ....

Big video handlers like YouTube and even Slack use AI to automatically caption videos that you upload. This is a great win for accessibility, and the AI is extremely accurate. It sometimes stumbles on uncommon words and bad audio signals, but these can be easily fixed by a human. I think most would agree that the benefit and cost savings of generating 95% accurate captions greatly outweighs the cost of having none at all! So at work we we....

I recently got a smaller computer screen. It’s actually not that small, it’s 27", but the resolution is modest compared to what is available. And in short, it’s fantastic. It’s not an expensive screen, it’s not a fancy screen; but it’s comparatively a small screen. For a few years I was using a 34" ultra-wide monitor, which has been causing me nothing but grief. It’s sort of crept up on me that so many small annoyances in my computer-us..

Hey everyone, I ran into a small issue today on my RaspberryPi. Occasionally, when restarting scripts that utilised usb devices (lidar, arduino) the usb connections were locking up. This meant that when I tried to restart the scripts I wasn’t able to reconnect. My initial solution was to simply restart the Pi each time it … Continue reading "Reset USB Devices on RaspberryPi Ubuntu"

Quoting Jan van den Berg : This weekend we learned that Bram Moolenaar had passed away at the age of 62. And this news affected me more than I expected. Like so many: I did not know Bram personally. But I’ve been using a tool made by Bram for more than half my life — at least weekly, sometimes daily. That tool is a text editor. The best one there is: Vim.

This concerted effort has created a set of dynamics and side-effects which I didn't anticipate. While it feels strange, the resulting outcome is nice.

I recently heard that one of my high school mentors, Dr. Peter Reilly, passed away last week at the age of 64. He was a supremely patient, kind, and energizing mentor. I think one of the things that strikes me most is how at the time I didn't understand how rare that is, or how lucky we were to have his help. When I met him, I had been looking for research projects to work on with my friend Vivek, and he was the first to really take us ....

Table of Contents In the last article in this series, we defined some custom lowering passes that modified an MLIR program. Notably, we accomplished that by implementing the required interfaces of the MLIR API directly. This is not the way that most MLIR developers work. Instead, they use a code generation tool called tablegen to generate boilerplate for them, and then only add the implementation methods that are custom to their work.
