Scipy is a phenomenal library. It's not every day that one can beat its performance by 1-2 orders of magnitude. Today is that day, though!
Must-read post if you care about any of:
- high performance Rust
- numerical methods
- how Rust can make Python faster

Take a look under the hood of the state of the art in grid interpolation in Rust and Python!
Come for the compile-time loop unrolling, stay for the profile-guided optimization!

Only remembered to take pics halfway through eating. But. Tonight's dinner was lamb kofta (heavily seasoned with lots of herbs and spices) and a quick roast veggie plate (green beans and peppers). Pls imagine these bowls as 2-3x as full.

It's fairly high-level, but I'd love to do some more deep-dives on some of the learnings from rebuilding Zed's backend.

The Statue of Liberty is not an appropriate symbol for our times anymore. We should melt her down into a really big copper cube. President Trump sir please make Cube Island.

our short story book club read "The Diamond as Big as the Ritz" by F. Scott Fitzgerald this week. It's definitely one of my favorites we've read. Certainly top 5. You can find it on Anna's Archive or other free book websites. It's 30 pages, well worth the read.

Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots offers a bold critique of techno-optimism while also positing artificial intelligence as a space for play. It is therefore one of the first examples of critical theory as applied to the silicon Other.

You're reply-guying Elon Musk trying to get views. I'm reply-guying compiler engineers trying to hire people to build a programming language with me. We are not the same.

Imagine getting headshot by a 14 year old in Arc Raiders and then you report him to the Australian police who ban his account. Incredible. Incredible feeling.
Tbh they should include all such platforms in the ban, it would save me from being owned by 14yos.

I do not think all anti-Zionists are antisemitic, but anti-Zionists who label Zohran Mamdani a "Zionist" simply because he condemned swastikas drawn on a Jewish day school in Brooklyn are in fact antisemites.

There's a certain kind of personality that really hates organizational structures (corporate workplaces, schools, government/legal systems) and rages in opposition to them and ultimately doesn't wind up very productive. Better to learn how to dance through/around them, be honest about the problems.

it's critical that software signs you out at a random interval somewhere between 3 days and 2 weeks. why? no idea. but it must be, because everyone does it.

I messed up tonight's salmon. When the salmon was nearly done, I took it out, put the nice marinade/sauce (miso, gochujang, mirin, soy) on top, then put it back in the oven and let it keep cooking.
The salmon came out really tough, way overcooked. I think the cold sauce shocked it and toughened it
