I finally made a page on my Dish activation function, replacing my deleted Tweet: danieldk.eu/Dish-Activat... It's a non-monotonic function similar to GELU/SiLU, but does not require elementary functions, making it faster on various hardware. I'll leave the empirical evaluation to someone else 😁.

Benchmarks comparing RISC-V vectorized activation functions on a Milk-V Duo 256M. Dish is the fastest with 110M elements per second, followed by Swish with 57M elements per second and the slowest is the Cook GELU approximation coming in at 39M elements per second.

The speed of uv is just insane. Just experimented with using it for CI of a project and installing a project, its dependencies (including Torch), and running some tests takes 30 seconds 🤯.

Huge shoutout to @dottxtai.bsky.social for making outlines-core. We just moved the first bit (JSON schema -> regex compilation) from our Python backend to Rust router. Benchmarked some schemas and it's super fast 🔥.

I had been out of #nixos for a while. The new `nix store/profile diff-closures` commands are very handy. `nix profile diff-closures --profile /nix/var/nix/profiles/system` for system rebuild changes.

Praise to the person who added color output to `ip`. So much easier to read out the different addresses. #linux

I'll start off posting about some recent projects. The first one is a small Python package, os-signpost 🪧, that you can use to mark events and durations in programs that you can visualize in macOS Instruments.app. Great for adding information to your profiles! github.com/explosion/os...
