Good question, would be interesting to see an exact timeline on both side-by-side (confirmed events, not reporting).

Something tells me that the timing of the Claude Code supply chain attack is not a coincidence ...

There's a really elegant solution using Geometric Algebra, that to this day is one of the most satisfying things I've ever learnt.
Steven de Keninck outlines it in his 2019 Siggraph talk [1].

strong visual reasoning apparently, which is nice. still lacking native audio however. hoping for more companies to embrace the spirit of something like `gemma-4-12b-qat` for actual multi-modality (text, image, video, audio).

Nice overview.

3x4 is feasible. I've designed the MiniGent font [1], including greek letters, numerals, punctuation, math, currency, and emojis. Written a whole LaTeX typesetter [2] around it. While not perfect, I'm amazed by how far you can take it arranging just a few pixels.

I love this one! Thanks for sharing.
It's not about the bitset itself. It's about how to organize and think about your flags.
The small visualization grid is fantastic for debugging, and the `word:bit` structure lends itself directly to organize your data in categories and display them as such.

Nice, I like the colored output tables. Started tinkering with a small profiling lib as well a while ago.

It focuses on creating flamegraphs to view on e.g. https://www.speedscope.app/. I wanted to use std::stacktrace, but they are very costly to evaluate, even just lazily at exit. Eventually, I just tracked thread and call layer manually.
If I understand correctly, you're tracking your call stack manually as well using some graph structure on linear ids? Mind elaborating a bit on its functionality and performance? Also proper platform-independent function names were a pita. Any comments on how you addressed that?

Very exciting. CLIP and latent space embeddings in general are such an intuitive to use and powerful tool.
I'm using it in some hobby projects, from semantic image search in private collections, to trading card recognition among tenthousands of cards.
Love to see more open source work from big players on this.

Well, actually does in a lot of cases. For example line intersections are completely branchless in PGA. Parallel lines simply give you the according point at infinity. Pretty kool!

A real-time LaTeX typesetter that outputs downloadable pixel art! The custom MINIGENT font consists of an extensive set of letters and symbols, including the whole greek alphabet, most used math and logic symbols, and even emojis!

I wrote a program to let a ball roll down the brachistochrone and compare it to other curves as my final school project some years ago. Might help some to get a better idea of it.
