Friend: Ugh I hate writing `.unwrap()` everywhere in Rust
Me: ?
Friend: ?
Me: yes, exactly
Friend: ??
Me: I suppose if you have nested Results...
Friend: ???
Me: ok I don't think you should nest Results that much

New preprint out with colleagues from MIT!

"Striped Attention: Faster Ring Attention for Causal Transformers"
https://t.co/U51PaflM2W

We introduce a simple extension to the recent Ring Attention algorithm for distributed long-context attention, and see speedups up to 1.65x!

Well I've finally given in. I'm on mastodon:

Hope to see you there!

Day 2 of @AllThingsOpen — let's go! 😎

Don't miss @ethanhs at 3:45pm ET as he explains how Taking Python to the Client(side) enables experimentation in ways a traditional web app would not.

"No way to prevent this", say programmers of only language where this regularly happens

I'm genuinely excited by this CPython plan: The idea is to generate the bytecode dispatch loop out of a DSL that describes the stack effect and semantics of bytecodes: https://t.co/XGpZL8PXlR

Python 3.12 will add support for the Linux perf profiler! 🔥🔥 Perf is one of the most powerful and performant profilers for Linux that allows getting a ridiculous amount of information such as CPU counters, cache misses, context switching and much more. 🧵👇

h/t @ethanhs: “Compiler engineers can have one (1) semantic, as a treat”

Really excited we're giving back to open source! This is one of the things I love about Sentry.

[Sentry @sentry]

To all the open source maintainers out there: we appreciate you. Thank you for all your work. #Hacktoberfest

We're excited to have Ethan Smith (@ethanhs), Software Engineer for @getsentry, presenting "Taking Python to the Client(side)" at #AllThingsOpen! https://t.co/lKjJmRKndU

Me: Aha! At last, my complex, intricate design of types with crazy complicated lifetime annotations is finished. Rust compiler, now compile my art!

Never thought I'd be writing Javascript to test Python code but here I am

NEXT WEEK! I'll be hosting the virtual side of @getsentry's DEX conference -- here's details and the things you'll want to know -- https://t.co/YGBGHVTW5P

nftables sounds like a cryptobro "firewall on the blockchain" startup scam

Pharmacy partners CVS and Walgreens have already started loading appointments for bivalent (or "updated") boosters and make it easy to book a COVID-19 booster and flu shot at the same time.

@__anp__ @yaahc_ @ManishEarth Cannot recommend Discworld enough! I went through all the books several years ago after randomly watching the hogfather movie (quite the introduction!). Can probably lend copies if any of you need, but it also seems the Berkeley library has most of them available :)

This is so stupid. You're telling me a circle broken into thirds is copyrightable?

[Framework @FrameworkPuter]

The @Lenovo legal team says we have to change the power button on our 3D printed case, so we’re opening up a Community contest! Whoever can come up with the best new power button design gets a free i5-1135G7 Mainboard.

@jhanikhil I have very good evidence it's not just you

[taber @cakesandcourage]

a popular myth is that people who are Very Computer have computers that work. nothing could be further from the truth. the Very Computer are capable of generating much more novel and fascinating ways to make computers not fucking work and exercise this capability wantonly

@eevee @glyph @chrsnjk @garybernhardt I'm curious what you define as code, I normally think of types as code but perhaps you think of code more as the executing bits? Do you consider an assert as code?
