Is it just me or is having to modify the Go runtime an indication that maybe Go just isn't performant enough for your use case? There's no way this gets merged into upstream anyways, right?! Maybe look at concurrency models in other languages? E.g., rust :) www.uber.com/in/en/blog/z...

Zero-Growth Stack, Real Gains: How Stack Allocation Can Save 10% CPU in Go
With over 2 million cores, 1% efficiency is worth millions. See how Uber tuned Go's runtime stack to boost CPU utilization for a service by 10%.

One day, I might go ahead and post the most insane, openly politically biased reviews I’ve ever seen. It was followed up with another politically biased review in revision and the paper was killed. Paper was on left wing extremists and predicted all of this www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/08...

I've been doing some DFM (design for manufacturing) and it's pretty wild. The difference between my simulations and the actual printed product is totally foreign to me. I'm used to if it works in software it works period. The dev cycle is nuts; 1+ hour and $1+ before I know if code works at all.

I'm excited to teach a Cybersafety class this quarter at UCR. In this first iteration, it'll be offered as a seminar class, but we will switch to a regular class next year. Preliminary syllabus: spalab.cs.ucr.edu/teaching/26s... Looking forward to comments and feedback!

The Higgs mechanism was proposed in 1964 by three independent teams. But here is the puzzle🤔: the "disruption index" says Higgs's paper is among the least disruptive ever. So what is going on? In our new paper, just out in #ScienceAdvances, we take up this puzzle: doi.org/10.1126/scia... 👇 1/7

Uncovering simultaneous breakthroughs with a robust measure of disruptiveness
An embedding-based disruption measure not only robustly captures disruptive works but also reveals simultaneous discoveries.

Claude tells me 5x+ a day that "the fix is simple: use the code path that we just spent the past month optimizing and is less than 50% the performance of the optimized path!" I wonder how many people are taking these statements seriously and how much $ it's going to cost in wasted GPU/CPU cycles.

Man, claude is legit stupid when it comes to log levels. It _loves_ to make everything INFO and then when you tell it "that shit is too noisy" it says "Ok, i'll set RUST_LOG=warn to suppress the spam!" and I have to waste tokens on "No, debug level logging should be DEBUG level logging."

Together with @mrjimmyblack.com (and Claude) we developed a tool that helps detecting hallucinated references in academic papers! This evolved from a simple python script into a full system written in Rust to quickly go through thousands of citations. Check it out! github.com/gianlucasb/h...

I’ve never in my life felt so in sync with the founding fathers and their concerns about taxation without representation. The difference is that I guess I technically have representation, it is just my representation is either impotent or completely ignored?

Something happened to one of them overnight and it seems the power saving shit got turned back on. Reboot, ssh back in, turn power save back off, and now they have settled down to < 10ms latency. These things have already accelerated dev iteration, but nvidia drivers living up to their reputation.

Claude ends up being pretty great for looking across multiple repos (including forks) to cherry pick features/code/techniques. I've had it tear through an easy 1M+ lines of code across dozens of repos to find a reference implementation I know must already exists somewhere, in some language.

Growing up in Florida, the Seminole tribe was a very present part of the culture. Growing up in Tampa, I remember their relatively expansive bingo parlors (they basically invented the tribal gaming business model). Now Seminole have generational wealth on a scale that would make robber barons blush.
