2026 spoiled user mindset: "how dare this semantically useful info be computationally any less than convenient"
The amnesty on bugs as you take a library you built from zero into the correct/performant phase is… humbling
is it idiomatic for data normalisation libraries to talk of invariants and determinants? well it is now
eyeballing 60% of WikiData Swahili values without a label in the language
Filleting out the entirety of English Wikidata might still change the game (Claude parquetmaxxing self-actualisation incoming)
Revisited schema inference in genson-core // polars-genson + made big speed gains + memory reductions 🏁 6+ day estimated processing time for Wikidata now <24h
Uncanny how accurately Claude can estimate the exact wall time change of individual perf optimisations
Packaged this, after some tape allocation adjustments it parses up to 3x faster than simd-json, gains most on files with large rows (Wikidata claims benchmark) 📁 cuJSON-rs github.com/lmmx/cuJSON-rs 🦀 Rust crates.io/crates/cujson 🐍 Python pypi.org/project/cujs...

Accidentally stumbled on what seems to be the same thing Claude Code (etc) use for displaying markdown: `cargo binstall mdcat-ng` (gives you mdcat and mdless)

OK enough cute Opus visuals time to put some TB on the GPU

Snake feels like a poor demo for Jev (in that it makes the latency conspicuous)

New AI-Focused Language Just Released: Bend 2
Bend 2, from Brazilian researcher Victor Taelin, arrived promising C speed, GPU parallelism, and formal proofs that block AI mistakes. I tested it by porting two of my Rust projects right at launch. P...

dKV-Cache: The Cache for Diffusion Language Models
Diffusion Language Models (DLMs) have been seen as a promising competitor for autoregressive language models. However, diffusion language models have long been constrained by slow inference. A core ch...

Adapting a pretrained autoregressive (AR) model is a cost-efficient route to a diffusion language model (DLM). While nearly all such adaptations start from a full-attention transformer, AR modeling ha...
