brcmthrowaway··on Comparison of Malloc() Algorithms
What malloc does macOS use in userspace? How about kernel?
brcmthrowaway··on The Painful Truth: The RAM Crisis Is Only Just the Beginning
This seems completely sourced from twitter rumours. No mention of NVidia either.
brcmthrowaway··on Xiaomi Mimo 2.6 live post-training dashboard
Found the Dark Matter (2024) watcher
brcmthrowaway··on Distributed Systems Classics (2017)
goroutines?
brcmthrowaway··on Distributed Systems Classics (2017)
The "WhatsApp used Erlang" story was a decade ago, doubt it is true now.
brcmthrowaway··on Distributed Systems Classics (2017)
Does anyone use Elixir/Erlang anymore?
brcmthrowaway··on Fable 5.1 Solves the Cyphral Distich, a 370-year-old cipher
Do you really believe it?
brcmthrowaway··on Apple's Dimensional Drawings
This is insane. Is there no great first party CAD solution on Mac?
brcmthrowaway··on Fable 5.1 Solves the Cyphral Distich, a 370-year-old cipher
This is one of the best conspiracies I've ever heard...
brcmthrowaway··on Open-source AI and open models reading list
How about learning the internals of LLMs, is Sebastian Raschka's content still the best in 2026?
brcmthrowaway··on The contagion of fear
Yes, but that is a facet of real systems engineering.. and the sad fact is that it doesn't pay. What is happening now, highly-paid 2010s-era SaaS/social product managers have infested AI labs, making everything into a product and moving fast and breaking things.

I'd feel safer if Airbus was at the frontier of AI, instead of what we have now.

brcmthrowaway··on Mark Zuckerberg: "Cambridge Analytica" (2017)
Shady business practices are accepted now.
brcmthrowaway··on Mark Zuckerberg: "Cambridge Analytica" (2017)
The amount of media furore over this at the time, really made me think CA was doing something illegal. Was that just Gawker/Buzzfeed journalism?
brcmthrowaway··on Don't be the out of touch Kung Fu master
> Musashi would probably have been pretty enthusiastic about assault rifles.

Cringed.

brcmthrowaway··on Vintage Scientific Papers with LaTeX
Does anyone know if Einstein's original papers (in German), Newton, Maxwell etc had diagrams? That would be amazing if they actually drew them.
brcmthrowaway··on Apple iPod Engraver (2019)
Why did you quit Apple at such a prime time?
brcmthrowaway··on Benchmark: CadQuery vs. OpenSCAD for agentic CAD work
The OP seems to be shilling this tool nonstop. Modelrift just seems to be an LLM wrapper.. the original models can handle OpenSCAD just fine.
brcmthrowaway··on Retrospectively Reverse-Engineering Apple's Neural Engine
I thought random developers weren't even allowed to use ANE, and it's just do the computational photography DoF faking.
brcmthrowaway··on Qwen 3.8 follows GPT-5.5 Pro reasoning prefills
This makes me very sad

If Qwen and other Chinese labs are just copying reasoning traces, then those labs are more than a year behind the frontier.

brcmthrowaway··on Tracing np.add, all the way down
I don't understand, I thought numpy hooked into the fortran stuff :|
brcmthrowaway··on Navier-Stokes – Tristan Buckmaster [pdf]
I hope they mock Sholto. Dude is an absolute podcast grifter/booster.
brcmthrowaway··on On the Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize Problem
r/LocalLLama and r/LocalLLM are in tears today..
brcmthrowaway··on Muse: Meta's personal AI agent, features and capabilities
The target audience is influencers paid by Meta.. Brilliant!
brcmthrowaway··on Has OpenAI model solved 80-year-old Navier-Stokes problem?
Congrats to OpenAI!
brcmthrowaway··on An Alien Mind
Would the Americans investing in SPY be saved?
brcmthrowaway··on An Alien Mind
Incredible... software engineers will be joining the breadline soon as managers, executives and PMs take over deliverables.

The world will look very different on Jan 1st 2027.

brcmthrowaway··on An Alien Mind
So you dont use agentic coding?
brcmthrowaway··on RecurseCenter.return()
Is this relevant in the era of slop?
brcmthrowaway··on Can AI design circuit boards yet?
What if I need .. just one?
brcmthrowaway··on Can AI design circuit boards yet?
Does JLC handle sourcing of components too?
