We doubled down by creating exceptions. Exceptions are abstracted gotos. Hidden in the code base deep inside call stacks, jumping over multiple functions at once. Exception-safe coding is identical to goto-safe coding, except that goto-safety is local and explicit. Easy to prove.

in 2000 a programmer discovered you can implement coroutines in C using the same switch trick as Duff's Device
it's called Tatham's Coroutine. it still compiles and is technically valid C
he used it in production inside PuTTY (the SSH client used by millions)
Simon Tatham's own words: "As far as I know, this is the worst piece of C hackery ever seen in serious production code."
The first slide of my SIGGRAPH 2026 talk is ready...
I have a short 3-slide history of GPUs (30, 20, 10 years ago) in my slides. Important to know the history to understand why we ended up with the current API design. Hardware was extremely heterogeneous back then. Hard to wrap.
*microsoft*-owned github's 3800 internal repositories are at risk, because one of their employees were using a poisoned extension in *microsoft*-owned ide, vscode 🤣
Wait ? What ? Is Go adding support for data parallellism (SIMD) in the standard library ?
If Go starts adding SIMD support, I'll need to add a new chapter to my Go book.

I ported @karpathy's Llama 2 inference to pure C++, C#, D, Java, JavaScript and Python.
I did not write the code in all these languages. Neither did AI. Instead, it's implemented in Fusion and transpiled to the mentioned languages, plus C.
