machinekob··on SIMD Matters: Graph Coloring
Just wrap array of structures in SIMD it is not that hard at least in 95% of cases
machinekob··on Intel N100 Radxa X4 First Thoughts
This is blessed silicon for sure mine ryzen always (3000 series 7000 series) have very high power consumption in idle right now I’m mostly on M1 ultra and are around 7-10W idle compared to 45W on 3900x and 35-40 on 7700. (I have also intel server with 12700k that idle around 15W but it is undervolted a bit)
machinekob··on Intel N100 Radxa X4 First Thoughts
Did you undervolt it? Or you just got some blessed silicon. 7700 desktop was drawing 35W idle for me so I would love to get anything close to this magic.
machinekob··on Intel N100 Radxa X4 First Thoughts
How do you calculated it i only saw idle around ~5-10W for 7000x laptop series in most tests.
machinekob··on How to optimize a CUDA matmul kernel for cuBLAS-like performance (2022)
But Triton is just abstraction over CUDA for Python (same like cupy, numba etc.). If you need low lvl access you still will use CUDA if you want high level you can use Triton or numba even higer you'll just use wrappers like pytorch/jax.
machinekob··on Apple Maps on the web launches in beta
Firefox is being marginalised mostly by Mozilla corporation others seem to just don't care much about dying browser, it is weird that it is broken on Safari with iOS for some folks as it is Apple product.
machinekob··on CrowdStrike Update: Windows Bluescreen and Boot Loops
Yes AI already solved it, my god why people are so high on LLM's solving everything
machinekob··on AMD to buy Silo AI for $665M
They tried SYCL and no one is using it
machinekob··on Why Swift's type checker is so slow
They have both llvm and custom x64 backend (at least partially, i think they started with only custom x64 backend)
machinekob··on Why Swift's type checker is so slow
Nope this never happened to me but i'm always writing explicit types in every language :]
machinekob··on Why Swift's type checker is so slow
Jai is a lot slower atm than at 2018, and feature-wise it is closer to C than to Swift with 2 different purposes.

Swift compiler time is spend mostly on LLVM stuff and it isn't much slower than other modern LLVM languages (Rust/Julia etc.) <ofc. this don't count this very specific complex type checks that are super slow>

machinekob··on Perplexity AI is lying about their user agent
VC/Big tech company is stealing data until it damage their PR and sometimes they never stops, sadly nothing new in current tech world.
machinekob··on The fastest path to African prosperity
Maybe if corruption wasn’t such a big problem who knows. Also china kinda destroyed Africa dream of industrialization there is not enough demand for another big industrial powerhouse
machinekob··on OpenAI and Apple Announce Partnership
Nvidia stock going to grow another 10% after that.
machinekob··on Apple Intelligence for iPhone, iPad, and Mac
Microsoft Recall => bad. Apple Recall => good.
machinekob··on Apple Intelligence for iPhone, iPad, and Mac
I mean how they'll monetise it?
machinekob··on Apple Intelligence for iPhone, iPad, and Mac
Same they say privacy so many times i got Facebook PTSD.
machinekob··on Apple Intelligence for iPhone, iPad, and Mac
Or just opensource models
machinekob··on Arraymancer – Deep learning Nim library
Mojo is AOT not JIT or is there are some sort JIT in mojo? (I'm not up to date with new development there) I feel like JIT is just kinda bad for Deep learning in most cases you want to "compile and optimise" your graph before run and load it fast for running/training.
machinekob··on Writing Gnome Apps with Swift
Supporting languages isn't the arch maintainers job I srsly don't understand your argument if all language stuff (LSP, language, debbuger etc.) work on every linux distro without any modifications is this distro "supported"?

If rustup will be removed from official repo we can argue that rust isn't supported in arch?

machinekob··on Writing Gnome Apps with Swift
almost no smaller/newer language is added to official repo so i don't know what are you taking about it is kinda expected? (even if this languages are fully supported on linux)

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/MATLAB https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Scala etc.

machinekob··on Writing Gnome Apps with Swift
Swift only supports a small number of linux systems. which is at most half-truth cause this is just official installers and most likely you'll use some sort of rustup (rust wasn't working on every system few years ago if you use official installer not some sort of rustenv installer or building from source etc.) you can use https://github.com/kylef/swiftenv you can use community packages https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Swift etc.

"and so on is that languages other that swift aim to support linux in general." -> again not true linux distro dosen't change swift usage it is just official build is run for few most popular distros and you can use prebuild swift-bin on any linux repo. (arch, debina, ubuntu, centos etc. etc.) You can say the same stuff about rust/nim/go every other language that didn't have official release for some niche linux distro.

machinekob··on Writing Gnome Apps with Swift
It runs just fine comment above is lying if you can run llvm/clang you can run Swift.
machinekob··on Writing Gnome Apps with Swift
Swift run on almost every linux desktop (Arch, Debian, Ubuntu etc. have even their own packages) I hate when people are writing false information with such a confidence.
machinekob··on Intel to Receive $8.5B in Grants to Build Chip Plants
lol who cares about that? they can boycott like 95% of US big corporations cause all of them do business in Isreal
machinekob··on Flightradar24's new GPS jamming map
Most of the time it is not that strong but few weeks ago my family living north have problems with mobile internet and phones (gps was almost fully dead) for like two days cause of interference from r*ssia.
machinekob··on YouTube now requires to label their realistic-looking videos made using AI
Ofc. they don't mention it for big tech companies EU = Evil
machinekob··on Iterate over Parameter Packs in Swift 6.0
ARC is very limited in swift (mostly classes) most of the other types are value types that doesn't use ARC, also most folks don't consider ARC to be GC as there is no garbage to be collected.
