a popular myth is that people who are Very Computer have computers that work. nothing could be further from the truth. the Very Computer are capable of generating much more novel and fascinating ways to make computers not fucking work and exercise this capability wantonly

After a very long time and hundreds of github comments, the WebAssembly Garbage Collection subgroup finally agreed on how to handle non-nullable locals. This is a pretty big milestone, and great progress towards a final wasm GC spec! 1/4

NEXT WEEK! I'll be hosting the virtual side of Sentry's DEX conference -- here's details and the things you'll want to know -- youtu.be/MD5y4UqpsQ4

Never thought I'd be writing Javascript to test Python code but here I am

Me: Aha! At last, my complex, intricate design of types with crazy complicated lifetime annotations is finished. Rust compiler, now compile my art! The Rust compiler:

We're excited to have Ethan Smith (@[email protected]), Software Engineer for Sentry, presenting "Taking Python to the Client(side)" at #AllThingsOpen! 2022.allthingsopen.org/sessions/takin…

Really excited we're giving back to open source! This is one of the things I love about Sentry.

I'm genuinely excited by this CPython plan: The idea is to generate the bytecode dispatch loop out of a DSL that describes the stack effect and semantics of bytecodes: github.com/python/cpython…

Python 3.12 will add support for the Linux perf profiler! 🔥🔥 Perf is one of the most powerful and performant profilers for Linux that allows getting a ridiculous amount of information such as CPU counters, cache misses, context switching and much more. 🧵👇

Day 2 of All Things Open — let's go! 😎 Don't miss @[email protected] at 3:45pm ET as he explains how Taking Python to the Client(side) enables experimentation in ways a traditional web app would not.

Well I've finally given in. I'm on mastodon: @[email protected] Hope to see you there!

New preprint out with colleagues from MIT! "Striped Attention: Faster Ring Attention for Causal Transformers" arxiv.org/abs/2311.09431 We introduce a simple extension to the recent Ring Attention algorithm for distributed long-context attention, and see speedups up to 1.65x! 1/
