saagarjha··on Pi 1.0
Yeah I’m hoping that they don’t remove or devalue the (now legacy) renderer
saagarjha··on EDG C++ front-end goes public
Wait, nvcc uses EDG?
saagarjha··on Singapore govt dating app uses Gale-Shapley stable marriage algorithm
Yeah that’s definitely my issue here
saagarjha··on Is sandboxing sufficient to contain rogue agents?
No, you really do. Otherwise you can be prompt injected into complacency.
saagarjha··on Is sandboxing sufficient to contain rogue agents?
This is fundamentally an alignment question. Unfortunately we don’t yet know the answer to this.

I see a party here who is not behaving as they should and it's the one I am replying to.
saagarjha··on macOS Golden Gate Is a Buggy Mess
They rewrote it this year and it doesn’t seem like they polished it enough :(
saagarjha··on Firebase SDK is CRASHING ALLLL iOS Apps, since today morning
Ironic. They could save others from crashes, but not themselves.

You can write your own crash reporter now.
saagarjha··on LA Metro has some of the slowest escalators
I feel that you just need to accept the fact that you have no idea what America is. There are 300 million people who live here but you act like you're a tourist who landed in Las Vegas and thinks that the whole country is apparently really obsessed with slot machines and topless bars. I can't really change what you prefer but I assure you that there are plenty of us here who do not care for your circles where apparently everyone curtsies at each other.

America is the country of breaking routine.
saagarjha··on Platform-independent SIMD in Go
ISRG is wrong too, definition-wise. Go is not memory safe. It is much safer, and I wouldn’t fault you for taking a C codebase and porting it to Go to avoid memory safety problems, but that does not make it memory safe in the same way Rust et al are memory safe. This is the same way that MTE does not thwart all memory corruption but it stops a lot of them. I accept your premise that Go has brought memory safety over the line to where it is apparently easier to find logic bugs than exploit memory corruption, which is laudable since C(++) has never been able to do this and likely never will, but in line with the pedantry that started this whole chain of comments, it’s not memory safe.
saagarjha··on Show HN: Agentic CUDA Kernel Optimizer
Yes, but the AI can totally make a kernel that passes your test inputs but is not correct
saagarjha··on Jevmem – automatic project memory for Claude Code, built on Jev
Wake me up from this nightmare
saagarjha··on Platform-Independent SIMD in Go
That’s a race condition, not a data race.
saagarjha··on Platform-independent SIMD in Go
He’s very wrong about this. Just because ‘tptacek posts a lot and did security once upon a time does not make him “broad consideration”.
saagarjha··on Show HN: Agentic CUDA Kernel Optimizer
How are you checking that the AI is not just gaming your correctness tests? It's very easy to write incorrect synchronization for example.
saagarjha··on 'That's so AI ' What gen Alpha's biggest insult tells us
And the guys outside the AI labs are saying they won't even reach adulthood.
saagarjha··on Data-only attacks are easier than you think (2024)
Most languages do not provide direct eval.
saagarjha··on What California is learning from solar panels built over irrigation canals
Caltrain does exactly this.
saagarjha··on AI coding has made CI a bottleneck, so we reworked ours to keep up
> Despite our test suites almost quadrupling since the start of the year

Did the tests produce four times as much value, though?

saagarjha··on M5 Ultra Mac Studio Review
I think the power itself will probably be more than you're paying in a subscription
saagarjha··on A heap overflow and SSO misconfiguration to compromise OpenAI internal repos
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BeyondCorp
saagarjha··on The scourge of x86 emulation
Well well well “modeless” has decided to finally see the light of modes
saagarjha··on How GLM built its own inference infrastructure
Most of the fastest inference and training code in production today is written in Python. There are no global locks on the GPU except the ones you put there
saagarjha··on Apple Reference Image: A New Approach for Verified Photography
Seems kind of concerning that using this at all means you send your image to Apple’s PCC machines.
saagarjha··on Trying to Make a Loop Auto-Vectorize
These days GCC has much better error messages even for non-vector code, IMO. I feel like Clang has become more of a research platform and GCC is winning on the usability front
saagarjha··on Adversarial Fashion Makes a Statement on AI Panopticon

saagarjha··on CUDA for AMD on Windows
How do you know if it works? Not that "works" is different from "runs".
saagarjha··on Shopify is moving from React Native back to Swift and Kotlin
That's because you must be using cross-platform apps.
