CV/Gate, DCB, USI, UMI and The Oberheim System… This is the story of how synth’s biggest players narrowly averted a standards war and made sweet music together

The article is also available in Chinese. Disclaimer: This post is a very long collection of thoughts and problems I've had over the years, and also addresses some of the arguments I've been repeatedly told. This post expresses my opinion the has been formed over using Rust for gamedev for many thousands of hours over many years, and multiple finished games. This isn't meant to brag or indicate su

Check out this week's Better Offline podcast, "The Man That Destroyed Google Search," available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and anywhere else you get your podcasts. This is the story of how Google Search died, and the people responsible for killing it. The story begins on February 5th 2019, when Ben Gomes, Google’s head of search, had a problem. Jerry Dischler,
Skip to the content. New Foundations is consistent In 1937, Quine proposed a set theory called “New Foundations”, and since 2010, Randall Holmes has claimed to have a proof of its consistency. In this repository, we use the interactive theorem prover Lean to verify the difficult part of his proof, thus proving that New Foundations is indeed consistent. The proof is now complete, and the theorem st
Meteor Lake iGPU is a testament to Intel’s mobile graphics aspirations. It’s almost a quarter of an Arc A770. The Xe-LPG architecture used in Meteor Lake inherits Xe-HPG (A770) traits, including hardware raytracing. Here I’ll note a few observations on Intel’s raytracing implementation, using both their official documentation and profiling tools. I’ll also compare with AMD’s raytracing approach. N
PumpkinOS is a re-implementation of PalmOS that runs on modern architectures (x86, ARM, etc). It is not your average PalmOS emulator (it does NOT require a PalmOS ROM), but it can run m68K PalmOS applications. For a series of articles describing various aspects of PumpkinOS, look here: https://pmig96.wordpress.com/category/palmos/. Launcher is the first application that runs when PumpkinOS starts.
VTE (Virtual TErminal library) is the library underpinning various GNOME terminal emulators. It provides a GTK widget that shows a terminal view, which is used in apps like GNOME Terminal, Console, Black Box, Tilix, Terminator, Ptyxis, and others. It also powers embedded terminals in Builder and Workbench. Over the GNOME 46 cycle, VTE has seen a lot of performance improvements. Christian Hergert m
A JavaScript library for generating vector-based cartoon faces To load new random faces, click here or press "r" on your keyboard. faces.js is a JavaScript library that generates and displays cartoon faces, somewhat reminiscent of how the Nintendo Wii generates random Miis. Faces are drawn as scalable vector graphics (SVG). Each face can also be represented by a small JavaScript object, which allo
Pretraining Large Language Models (LLMs) on large corpora of textual data is now a standard paradigm. When using these LLMs for many downstream applications, it is common to additionally bake in new knowledge (e.g., time-critical news, or private domain knowledge) into the pretrained model either through RAG-based-prompting, or fine-tuning. However, the optimal methodology for the model to gain su
This is an upcoming high performance computing book titled “Algorithms for Modern Hardware” by Sergey Slotin. Its intended audience is everyone from performance engineers and practical algorithm researchers to undergraduate computer science students who have just finished an advanced algorithms course and want to learn more practical ways to speed up a program than by going from $O(n \log n)$ to $
This paper describes Meta's TestGen-LLM tool, which uses LLMs to automatically improve existing human-written tests. TestGen-LLM verifies that its generated test classes successfully clear a set of filters that assure measurable improvement over the original test suite, thereby eliminating problems due to LLM hallucination. We describe the deployment of TestGen-LLM at Meta test-a-thons for the Ins
