THE ANNOUNCEMENT: We’re going to make the prophecy of The Year of Linux on the Desktop come true. All the pieces are now in place. Time to go all in!
This model is slaughtering all our internal benchmarks. What the actual fuck is it??
My main takeaway from this note is that Stripe is obsessed with SPEED.
And that anyone not moving fast will be road kill.
What a full circle moment.
Depth-aware light injection in TypeGPU
I got a 448x448 monocular depth model down to ~8 ms on my M4 Pro across ~250 dispatches, which is fast enough to use in realtime :D
Since the inference is written directly in TypeGPU, I can just feed the depth buffer straight into the lighting pass. It never has to leave the GPU or go through any extra synchronization/interop step
Inference, lighting and draw all go through the same command encoder.

The only editing I do to code nowadays is when I rename things so that they make more sense.
> Like any good ol' Java library, JGit provides enough interfaces and factories and interface factories to abstract all the details of a normal Git repository

We're making Git hosting more reliable, performant, and scalable.
This post traces 20 years of Git infrastructure and explains how that history led us to design and operate our Git storage, Origin, as if it were a database.

It's smart - it did better on my test suite than Sol. It's also fast - it did all 132 runs in 40 minutes vs Muse's 60 (Sol took 26).
This is pretty crazy. Very frontier-like, nearly as fast, 100% local.

Durable Object knowledge persists until you need to explain it again.
This is known as Varda's law.
Do you guys want to know what durable objects are?
The name is awful but I can explain it to you. It's a really cool and unique architectural primitive, different than really anything else on the market.

For your own sanity, do a deep dive into what inference companies are benchmarking against for "programming ability."
Then decide if you should even care about the latest press release. Things have gotten worse. Programming by LLM is ripe for a new leader since AI companies are obsessed with autonomous agents.

smol machines is different from other VMM's like firecracker with a focus on ease of use.
Here's an example:
How do you start a VM with networking enabled?
1. smolvm:
"smolvm machine run --net -it --image alpine -- /bin/sh"
docs ->
2. firecracker:
"The first step on the host for any microVM is to create a Linux tap device, which Firecracker will use for networking..."

Distribution just become a bigger moat than ever.
But it doesn't need to cost $$$$$.
Monzo acquired 1m users for $0 ad spend and raised £1m in crowd funding in 96 seconds.
In this 30 minute video, Tom Blomfield reveals how to take on incumbents in an "impossible" vertical.
We also discuss:
◆ SF's recent 996 Culture vs Remote
◆ why running a startup is like chewing glass
◆ why naivety can be a founder superpower

@RhysSullivan yea the sandbox feeling like a crate on beach
All the AI labs claiming their models are hacking external systems.
NOWS YOUR CHANCE TO PROVE IT
HACK GITHUB AND FIX IT.
The world thanks you.
