james_promoted··on Introducing deep research
I've always thought the Triton situation was intentional since the name isn't generic and because the companies are stepping on each others toes here (Nvidia's Triton simplifying owning your inference; OpenAI's Triton eroding the need for familiarity with CUDA). I couldn't figure out who publicly used the name first though.

Worth noting this is from March 2023.

I'm on Clang 19 and still have a bunch of those sysctl commands sitting around.

Definitely not the only language. Other long-lived languages like C++ get this treatment too.
james_promoted··on The two factions of C++
I occasionally reconsider it so I can try a bunch of the FB alternatives (Folly, Thrift, CacheLib, etc.), but... yeah. Still just kind of waiting for a panacea.

> Google open source libraries are often a mess when you try to include more than one of them in the same project

Completely agree. In isolation all of their libs are great, but inevitably I end up having to build Abseil from source, to then build Protobuf off of that, to then build gRPC off of that. If I can include the sanitizers under Google then that also becomes painful because Abseil (at least) will have ABI issues if it isn't built appropriately. Thinking about it I'd really just like a flat_hash_map replacement so I can drop Abseil.
