Getting Bad Gateway.

Compilers often just build up more and more data structures in memory until the end when they then release everything more or less at once. With an arena you can then just throw away the whole arena at the end, assuming there are no resource handles that need to be closed in drop().

A long time ago I read an article about someone speeding up a C++ compiler that is itself written in C++ (was it g++? maybe clang?). They simply patched out delete so it did nothing. The compiler used marginally more memory but ran much faster, since releasing all the small objects one by one is just useless work at the end of the compilation.

A GCed language has a similar behavior and could therefore be fast in that case. It just builds up all the objects and then when the program exists it doesn't have to GC them all, it just throws away the whole process memory. So I can imagine one could "optimize" a compiler written in a GCed language by deactivating the GC.

I wonder how fast "Doom in TypeScript" runs in tsrs now. XD

Getting 403 for this.

Hm, does document.write("...") still exist?

Interesting!

We're currently use pgvectorscale. Some questions:

- Will pg_vectorsearch eventually also support vectors bigger than 1968 dimensions? E.g. VoyageAI can create embeddings with 2048 dimensions (but we don't actually need that at the moment, only 1024).

- Why did you choose C this time and not Rust, as you did with pgvectorscale?

- Why did you not just extend pgvectorscale with another index type instead of creating a whole new extensions?

I expected it to also talk about ~username. See e.g.: echo ~root ~pulse ~sddm

What about that makes it sound like AI? I can't detect it. My native language isn't English, though.

8.8 million people? Wikipedia says Denmark only has 6 million people! Historical data too? People from other countries that had any treatment in Denmark?

I think the claim is that GCC supports a few obscure platforms that LLVM doesn't. Don't ask me which, that is just the claim that I heard multiple times. So it's not Rust that limits platforms, but LLVM. And they say the GCC backend efforts of Rust are meant to deal with that.

Sure, I still find it fascinating.

That's more than 4 times the size of Super Mario World, I believe. Always fascinating how little is done with so much these days.

Black Mirror episode 2, IIRC.

I think the "avoid people" part does a lot of work. For a lack of a better word, AI generated people still look soulless.
