Dismantling difficulty in concurrent programming.

California, USA
Replying to @ernire
I personally think that people overestimate the market potential of hard-to-program computer systems. Most computers have to be programmable to most programmers. Most programs have to be programmed by most programmers. There is a very significant human factor in computing.

Never thought I would say this but I think I agree.
My god this is such a good speech that every SWE needs to hear. You know what? Every person should hear it Keep the happy memories, eyes on the reality, be excited about the future. That’s the best that anyone can do

it is quite analogous to not knowing exactly what assembly comes out of the compiler at -O3 and why, even if you wrote the original "functional spec" of C++ code that fed the compiler

Every time I see one of these posts, I go read what the class teaches kids about thread scheduling. This one is ok.

Hey, @trebolloc @awnihannun, I wonder if you know of some member of the MLX community who would like to work on neural accelerators directly.

M5 Max is a local AI powerhouse in a laptop form factor. So awesome to see this thing released. Up to 8x faster prefill / image generation compared to M1 Max. Benchmarks done with MLX / mlx-lm.

Kinda curious what Bryce is going to say.
Join @blelbach for his talk on the C++ Execution Model. The heart of C++ is a multi-threaded abstract machine & formal model that describe how programs run. Rules govern how code is executed, which impacts your code. Early-bird tickets: store.ticketing.cm.com/cppun… #cpp #cplusplus

An actual nice excuse to get a new MacBook is the new GPU architecture. It looks really nice

It's been a long & satisfying journey to build this brand new scary fast GPU: never before seen architecture, HW ray tracing & mesh shading. Congratulations to all teams at Apple for making this great GPU, great M3 SoCs and great MacBook Pro products that Apple introduced today.

Continuing attempts to escape from here; trying the squirrelly @ sign app. Hopefully it gets critical mass. Because I was so, so very late to join the other app, the vanity photo one, I'm __simt_arch__ over there. 🤞
