Funny, that’s a lot of folks‘ definition of “censorship” too.

Question from someone interested in but ignorant about Rust: is that inside of an unsafe block? Or can you do SIMD instructions in normal Rust?

Yes! One of my favorite programming posts is still www.rossbencina.com/code/real-ti..., not because it’s applicable to my current work, but because it starts with a real, data backed, latency number.

And any reassurance that it gives that it’s seen this 100 times before, and really, your partner is having a tough time but she and the baby will be fine, will ring hollow if you know the first thing about LLMs. The worst form of “you’re absolutely right!”

And I can say, from experience—again, mine wasn’t the important one here—that an AI doula won’t hold your hand as you cry your eyes out because you just heard your kid’s first sounds.

Oof, I’ve seen that one before, it’s not an enviable task.

I see you’ve written enterprise Java before.

I always experience it as my conscious mind finally being quiet and just experiencing the sound, and yeah, it’s the best.

I feel like there’s a phenomenon similar to Greenspun’s 10th rule that goes something like “any sufficiently popular data storage format will eventually be mounted as a FUSE file system“

My typical vax reaction is to pray for the sweet release of death for a day—because I‘m a total baby about being sick—and I think a Crunchwrap supreme might help with that.

I’d not considered Taco Bell as a post-vax meal before, and now I’m intrigued.

It‘s shockingly hard to do well too. In case it’s helpful, it looks like some folks have ported a version of the Paul Stretch algo to a crate: crates.io/crates/ness_.... No idea about sound quality though, as IIRC Paul Stretch works best on extreme changes and less great on modest ones.
