elvircrn··on Maze Toys
movement triggered on key release is incredibly frustrating
elvircrn··on Data centers in space makes no sense
Surprised nobody here linked https://andrewmccalip.com/space-datacenters.
elvircrn··on Float Exposed
Nothing to add, I was simply saying that it would be useful to have an FP8 toy website out there covering all of these formats.
elvircrn··on Float Exposed
Yes, all of them would be great.
elvircrn··on Float Exposed
Good stuff. Having fp8/fp4 would be great, too!
elvircrn··on I have left Branch and am no longer involved with Nova Launcher
Been using this since my Galaxy S3 days and is currently installed on my Nothing 2A. The switch will be painful.
elvircrn··on Compiler for the B Programming Language
Had a go at this a while back: https://github.com/elvircrn/bcomp.
elvircrn··on GCC 15.1
"C++ Modules have been greatly improved."

It would be nice to know what these great improvements actually are.

elvircrn··on What If We Could Rebuild Kafka from Scratch?
Surprised there's no mention of Redpanda here.
elvircrn··on About Google Chrome's "This extension may soon no longer be supported" (2024)
How would one go about doing this?
elvircrn··on Lithium-sulfur battery retains 80% charge capacity after 25,000 cycles
---------------------------------------------------------------- Dear battery technology claimant,

Thank you for your submission of proposed new revolutionary battery technology. Your new technology claims to be superior to existing lithium-ion technology and is just around the corner from taking over the world. Unfortunately your technology will likely fail, because:

[ ] it is impractical to manufacture at scale.

[ ] it will be too expensive for users.

[ ] it suffers from too few recharge cycles.

[ ] it is incapable of delivering current at sufficient levels.

[ ] it lacks thermal stability at low or high temperatures.

[x] it lacks the energy density to make it sufficiently portable.

[ ] it has too short of a lifetime.

[ ] its charge rate is too slow.

[ ] its materials are too toxic.

[ ] it is too likely to catch fire or explode.

[ ] it is too minimal of a step forward for anybody to care.

[ ] this was already done 20 years ago and didn't work then.

[ ] by this time it ships li-ion advances will match it.

[ ] your claims are lies.

----------------------------------------------------------------

elvircrn··on Typst 0.13 is out now
I just love how responsive the editor is.

The biggest downside is that now I dread switching to overleaf after typst!

elvircrn··on Tilde, My LLVM Alternative
No benchmarks yet?
elvircrn··on Simple CPU Design
I started this journey a while back using Tanenbaum's MIC-1 during my Uni days with a another colleague. Still have it online if anyone is interested: https://github.com/elvircrn/mic-1.
elvircrn··on PeerTube mobile app: discover videos while caring for your attention
I have a chrome extension that I made for myself which removes recommended videos based on:

* channel/video title * duration * keywords * channel size/video views

Then, I have a video queue where I add videos that I find interesting.

Ever since I started using it, I started getting almost exclusively videos that I enjoy consuming, since YouTube seems to quickly adapt to my clicking patterns.

elvircrn··on AnandTech Farewell
Last week while looking into the Apple DMP exploit paper [1], I noticed that the researchers were inspired by this [2] anandtech article.

Y'all will be missed.

elvircrn··on Own Constant Folder in C/C++
Take a computer architecture course for starters.
elvircrn··on Leveraging Zig's Allocators
Any papers/blogs/SO answers covering this?
elvircrn··on The history of 'OK' (2023)
During my elementary school days, we were told by our English teacher that the origin was related to death toll reporting after a battle (presumably involving the Brits or Americans). Therefore, "0 K" would indicate that no soldiers were killed - an OK outcome. This went on to live in my head rent-free until today.
elvircrn··on GCC 14.1 Release
Could someone knowledgeable of this topic give some info on the status of C++ modules as of this release? https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/compiler_support would indicate that they are currently in an unfinished state. Why is that so?
elvircrn··on Megalodon: Efficient LLM Pretraining and Inference with Unlimited Context Length
Perhaps it was made private as part of a conference submission process?
elvircrn··on [dead]
Seems like Bonelli comics aren't indexed.
elvircrn··on ASML to Ship First High-NA EUV Tool This Year: $300M per Scanner
The market can remain irrational longer than you can stay solvent.
