I don't want AI.
I want a working printer.

@hywan I'm pretty happy with my Epson ET-2720: it uses large ink bottles to recharge and still gets firmware updates after > 4 years. Works out of the box on Linux and MacOS at least.

@hywan
Fuck yeah that's true

As a teacher i'm even ready to go back to low tech solutions, like Gutenberg printer as long as it's working

Arm64 on GitHub Actions: Powering faster, more efficient build systems, https://github.blog/2024-06-03-arm64-on-github-actions-powering-faster-more-efficient-build-systems/.

> Best of all, these runners are priced at 37% less than our x64 Linux and Windows runners

> Nvidia's Blackwell cluster, which will come with eight GPUs, pulls down 15kW of power. That's 15,000 watts of power. Divided by eight, that's 1,875 watts per GPU.

What? A house consumes 400W/hour most of the time. Blackwell consumes 37.5 times MORE than a house!

Put another way: you can either power Blackwell for 1 hour, or your house for… 1.5 DAY.

A year of Servo reboot: where are we now?, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdtlD_7JAs8, by Rakhi Sharma, at Open Source Summit North America.

Excellent overview of the current state of Servo. Nice talk.

Wasmi's New Execution Engine - Faster Than Ever, https://wasmi-labs.github.io/blog/posts/wasmi-v0.32/.

Impressive works. Definitely faster now, and a serious competitor to wasm3.

YouTube displays a sponsored video, which is a scam impersonating MrBeast, to collect money from fans.

I repeat. A sponsored video…! Do they check a tick the content?!? Are they responsible for promoting scam/fishing?

The sponsored video https://youtu.be/mtWG858ySmY?si=nYoMvKVfuXSXecDr

The comment from the fake profile with the scam link.

SpiderMonkey newsletter (Firefox 126-127), https://spidermonkey.dev/blog/2024/05/15/newsletter-firefox-126-127.html.

Improvements everywhere. Sometimes really great performance boosts, like Array.prototype.sort up to 4x faster, or general 8% speedup with a cache improvement.

@hywan How many minutes/hours did it run for before it found it?

OpenAI is jumping from scandal to scandal. But yeah sure, let’s use their products, we can safely and blindly trust them, what can go wrong?
Please wake up. All this is absurd.

Faster linking times on nightly on Linux using `rust-lld, https://blog.rust-lang.org/2024/05/17/enabling-rust-lld-on-linux.html.

> Here are more details from the ripgrep example mentioned above: linking is reduced 7x, resulting in a 40% reduction in end-to-end compilation times

tl;dr: Rust now packages a rust-lld linker (it’s LLVM’s lld), and uses it on Linux by default on nightly, which decreases compilation time greatly.

cargo mutants, https://mutants.rs/

A useful tool to do mutation-based testing on Rust projects.

Reminder: mutants aim at testing your test suites —whether they catch all your code details—, not your code itself.

Nice, it has found a flaw in my test suite. Thanks cargo mutants.

I enjoy writing algorithms more than I would like to admit. Optimising, explaining them, breaking complex things into multiple simple things, it’s clearly a pure mental joy.

deshipu,
@deshipu@fosstodon.org avatar

@hywan it's such a shame that you almost never need that in actual practical work

hywan,
@hywan@fosstodon.org avatar

@deshipu I need that at @element, I work on the Matrix Rust SDK ( @matrix) and that’s why I still work there after 2 years.
