Back in January I gave a talk at Jane Street titled "Are Mutexes Slow?" (I gave a lightning version of it at @rustikon.dev last week!). And it's now up on YouTube if you're interested in wonky details about CPU cache coherence and the cost of coordination! www.youtube.com/watch?v=tND-...

We are excited to announce that we can successfully use Rust's std::thread on the GPU. This has never been done before. www.vectorware.com/blog/threads... Supporting Rust's std::thread enables existing Rust code to work on the GPU and makes GPU programming more ergonomic.

Rust threads on the GPU

GPU code can now use Rust's threads. We share the implementation approach and what this unlocks for GPU programming.

But there are also instances where I just shut it down completely and hand code it like old days without any autofill. Just to make sure I’ve indeed learned or was just nodding my head along to whatever it says.

I usually ask AI to keep explaining while it writes. Like why this and what alternatives are considered, why not them…etc. ELI5 mode if it’s a language I’ve never worked with earlier.

Using AI to generate code you don't understand is akin to using a translation app for a language you don't know. It might be ~90% correct but you'll never be able to spot the ~10% that's wrong, and that's going to look bad on you when others do.

Currently reading “Writing to Learn” by William Zinsser. Was surprised at first to see so many em dashes throughout. And the book was written long back before LLM tools are out there. That’s when I learned this “em dashes means AI” is not really a thing. We should just whatever works for us 😅

One of the advantages of being a millennial is that by the time these short-form videos started becoming a thing, I was already considered too old for the platforms. So, I ended up never downloading them. But watching my cousins use their phones like zombies - ngl, I’m a tad bit worried.

For the last ~20 years, I did most of my coding inside an IDE - the last ~15 with increasingly good autocomplete. Which is why it’s so weird that I barely opened an IDE the last two weeks, even as I pushed lots of code. I use the CLI, the web and my phone (!!) to prompt code

If you are vibe coding, then yes. Gas Town might give you dopamine. If vibe engineering, which is how I feel we should use these tools, then I don’t think this is the way. Coding is fun. Why do you want some auto complete tool to do all of it without your supervision?

Time for my big year end blogpost about the Atmosphere. From the personal computing perspective, the cloud has been a disaster — but we shouldn't run away from it. We can solve a lot of problems by connecting our clouds, turning it into atmospheric computing.

Cloud computing has been extremely successful, but it lost the values that drove personal computing. We can solve this by evolving forward.

Applies to some tools, but this is where fine design makes a difference. Code is cheap to prompt, but the real bottleneck to good products is thinking through 99,999 design decisions and considering every edge case. DIY-ing your own tools will teach you how hard beautiful, thoughtful design is
