+
+I like the discussion around dependencies and them making builds fail(among other things). I hate the default aversion from reinventing the wheel. Do you think it would be better than what we have today, if languages/environments had better ways to deal with API versioning?

+Haven’t needed to bother yet, and haven’t seen code I can just use that seems simple/clean enough (this is confounded by the fact that it’s not possible to just distribute code that can run on a GPU). We do have a lower-quality thing we were using in our VR stuff.

+I don't know how making things from scratch became so taboo, this term is like a boogeyman in the broad software industry. 
+
+I don't know if it's the lack of understanding of what the application really needs to function or just risk mitigation. Either way it's sad.

+The paragraph about spam really hits hard. And i also agree 100% with all Here. True gold in that Post.
+
+But, in Most companies one cannot change anything in that regard because it would require fighting hard with 85% of the people there.

+Another thing that contributes to resistance to writing your own is the constant fear mongering from other programmers on the internet that you can’t make it as good as the library. That’s false but it’s very prevalent and prevents programmers from realizing how easy it is.

+
+Some people might read this and think, that's just not my world, I am stuck in this world where software breaks all the time and everything I build is disposable.
+
+Even if that is kind of the case for you, there is still good news, because this isn't an all-or-nothing problem. It's a dial that can be turned; you can turn that dial in a direction that reduces flailing and results in more-stable long-term progress.
+
+You don't have to remove all the dependencies, because every dependency you remove contributes to stability. Even getting rid of 1/3 of your dependencies can do amazing things.
+
+You can look at all the things you depend on and divide them into two categories: major and minor. Major dependencies are things that, realistically, you are never going to have your own version of. I am never going to make my own graphics API, so those count as major dependencies for me (DirectX12, Vulkan, Metal, etc). I am not going to write my own CPU-side font rasterization, so anything I choose to use there (FreeType, stb_truetype) goes in that category.
+
+With Major Dependencies, you limit your contact surface with them: You call only the functions you really need, and you do this only from the surface of your program -- you don't build data structures deep into your program that propagate the particular data structures or API decisions of any of these systems. A good API author will help you do this (stb_truetype), a bad API author will be trying as hard as they can to screw you up and force you to become tied to their system forever (anything from Microsoft or Apple).
+
+Understanding that many API authors are hostile can cause a big change of perspective here, and once you see it, the correct tactics become much more obvious.
+
+So, that's the major dependencies. Minor dependencies are things that are smaller, and that you want to use much more thoroughly throughout your program: for systems programmers this might be a data structure like an expanding array or hash table, for Web, maybe there are some string or file operations that you like to do.
+
+Minor dependencies can be eliminated and it's not even hard. You just do one at a time: hey, I need this data structure, I have been importing this other code to provide that functionality, I have suffered X, Y and Z problems because of this, how about if I just implement my own simple version of this one thing?
+
+People can get scared of implementing core stuff like this, because they look at the implementation they are using now, and it looks huge and complicated and hard to reproduce. But the thing to realize is most of this implementation is spam. It is mostly doing things for people who are not you, for reasons you don't necessarily agree with, chosen by a decision-making method that is deeply flawed. Your own implementation can be cleaner and smaller, and it can give you good feelings when you go look at it. You don't need all the functionality of the thing you are importing; you only need 8% of the functionality. Implementing that is easy.
+
+Once you do this a few times, you have your own stable body of code that you bring with you from project to project. It won't break unless you mess with it. You can keep improving it if you want, incrementally over time, but the cost of this is small because this code represents stable algorithms that don't change with fashion, so work on this is never forced.
+
+Every big company has their own internal version of this, but the problem in that scenario is that a big company is full of people who want different things, and have varying levels of decision-making skill, so these usually end up not so good. But when it's your own personal thing, it can in fact be very good, and help make you happy on a daily basis.
+
+And, your software will break much less often. Which is great.

+
+Imagine language that has NO {stack, calls, returns, conditional branches, explicit jumps, functions with arguments and returns}
+
+Instead has argument-and-return-free subroutines and an array of sub addresses to call. So it's self-modification of that array to control execution
+
+![](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G44098XWcAAy4hT?format=png&name=orig)
+
+**2/** **@NOTimothyLottes** ^1985584758613483634
+
+Idea repurposes the x86-64 stack to only POP to read off the next subroutine, and each subroutine jumps to the next. If one wants to repeat something N times, it gets inserted in the 'tape' array N times.
+
+**3/** **@NOTimothyLottes** ^1985585233031209262
+
+While it is a jmp by register, the register value is known long in advance, but not sure if current x86-64 chips can use actual register values if available soon enough and ignore possible incorrect branch prediction.

+## Thread
+
+**1/** **@SebAaltonen** ^2092601949149380783
+
+This was my last day at HypeHype. Going to take a long sabbatical to be with my family and to focus on my hobby projects. 
+
+Lot of cool videos coming: SDFs, mass physics, fluids/lava, explosions, ray-tracing, GPGPU and fun fast paced gameplay. PC/Steam focus.
+
+**2/** **@SebAaltonen** ^2092614858705416699
+
+I wrote all the tech for Claybook. SDF world, fluids with erosion, GPGPU soft body/deformation simulator, etc. Optimized it to work smoothly Nintendo Switch 1 and old Intel iGPU. Steam Deck GPU has 10x more ALU (GFLOPS). So much more is possible today.
+
+https://x.com/SebAaltonen/status/1060479645798359040?s=20
+
+**3/** **@SebAaltonen** ^2092616205513162915
+
+Wrote a quick prototype last week combining SDF tech with first-person shooter enemy swarm gameplay. Here the enemy swarm path finding, physics and rendering takes just 0.2ms of CPU time. And that's with single threaded render (WebGPU limitation). No AVX2 (SIMD8). Simple thread scheduler. I can easily make it 5x faster. 100,000 enemies is completely doable. Massive bosses destroying the level. Lava gun. Foam grenade, etc, etc. Fun and hectic instead of slow and boring kids game (like Claybook). 
+
+https://x.com/SebAaltonen/status/2090543938390098141?s=20
+
+**4/** **@SebAaltonen** ^2092617429176201597
+
+Of course we need good visuals too. Massive amount of moving light sources (rockets, fires, bullets, emissives). Real-time GI, reflections, etc. But at the same time it must run at 240Hz on my RTX 4090. Can't be as heavy as Teardown. Must reach locked 60Hz on Steam Deck.
+
+**5/** **@SebAaltonen** ^2092618261481300365
+
+I will of course document the whole process in social media. Share all the tech details, profiling data and all the cool short videos. I did the same during Claybook development.
+
+**6/** **@SebAaltonen** ^2092683216360489447
+
+The first thing I will do is finish the Clean API prototype:
+https://x.com/SebAaltonen/status/2088740095276773574?s=20
+
+Would be nice to write the new game on top of this API, but I have to check what kind of hardware coverage we can get with it. Don't want to limit user base too much.

+
+How does a commutation interaction work?
+You'd need some kind of alloc/free manager.
+
+**2/** **@VictorTaelin** ^1811784231363711315
+
+**@noam_yy**
+
+Yes, remember that cores can communicate with any other via lightweight messaging (that should be central to the chip's design). Allocation should be done by sending an alloc request to increasingly distant cores until one is free.
+
+**3/** **@noam_yy** ^1811785874662646023
+
+**@VictorTaelin**
+
+nice! this starts to feel a lot like some blockchain designs, which makes sense, a parallel computer and a distributed are very similiar.

+**@VictorTaelin**
+
+horrible idea: if you want to rewrite circuit for performance, why not doing it directly on the lowest gate-level?
+
+mainstream adders (Kogge-Stone) and multipliers (Wallace) are quite suboptimal, but the only superhuman rewrite I knew is based on e-graph
+
+https://arxiv.org/abs/2312.06004
+
+**2/** **@VictorTaelin** ^1811807840383750429
+
+**@tribbloid**
+
+What do you mean is a terrible idea exactly? A processor with millions of interaction cores?
+
+**3/** **@tribbloid** ^1811808888624181341
+
+**@VictorTaelin**
+
+sorry I mean "doing it on gate-level" may be a horrible idea
+
+**4/** **@VictorTaelin** ^1811809058883522654
+
+**@tribbloid**
+
+but I don't get what you mean? what the alternative would be?
+
+**5/** **@tribbloid** ^1811813448084312474
+
+**@VictorTaelin**
+
+IMHO most tools focus on optimising RTL then delegate to HLS
+
+> (from arXiv) High-level and logic synthesis tools ... but rely on fixed architectures ...
+
+if optimising gate-level directly (e.g. rewriting a ripple-carry adder into Kogge-Stone), then HLS will be slow in comparison
+
+**6/** **@tribbloid** ^1811824453111939074
+
+**@VictorTaelin**
+
+correction: delegate to LS (which will be slow in comparison)
+
+LS and HLS are not the same thing (excuse my English)

+Cool! A few technical questions.
+Why 3 dimensions is the best choice? Why exactly 48 bits for pointers and other parts? What about huge data processing? Yes, all can be encoded as lambda-tetm, but this term should be stored. So, data transfer bottleneck still here.

+## Thread
+
+**1/** **@VictorTaelin** ^1806690584670679387
+
+Can we build an optimal processor?
+
+In 1990, Lamping proved optimal λ-calculus evaluation can only be done via graphical interaction systems, because, for any order of evaluation (in a syntax tree), there is a sub-optimal counter-example.
+
+In 1997, Lafont has shown that Turing Machines and Cellular Automata are just interaction systems. He then defined Interaction Combinators as an universal interaction system, to which any other can be translated while preserving the same complexity and degree of parallelism.
+
+This, as far as theory is concerned, implies Interaction Combinators are an optimal model of computation, since they are capable of emulating any other without losing efficiency. The opposite isn't true: emulating ICs on λ-Calculus increases complexity, and emulating ICs on Turing Machines decreases parallelism.
+
+"That's theory. Isn't there a huge practical overhead?"
+
+Not inherently, and remaining overheads are engineering matters:
+
+As a functional runtime: HVM's affine lambdas currently use ~2x less memory than their counterparts in Haskell GHC. The vast majority of Cabal/Stack can be translated to efficient HVM. Emulating full lambdas still has a ~5x overhead, but better translations are within reach.
+
+As a procedural runtime: HVM has the same underlying core as Rust (the affine λ-calculus), thus, the exact same compilation approach applies. Rust currently is almost as fast as C, thus, there is no barrier to making HVM as fast as C too, once given a proper procedural codegen. This has not been done yet, which makes its current single-core performance sub-par.
+
+We could do all that to let HVM optimally hardness the computing power of existing hardware (CPUs, GPUs...). Or we could go deeper and ask: can Interaction Combinators also optimally harness the computing power of our underlying universe?
+
+"What would an HVM chip look like?"
+
+Since Interaction Combinators don't inherently suffer from the Vonn Neumann bottleneck (they're optimal!), an IC chip would remove the separation between memory and computation. It could be materialized as a 3D grid of interaction cores, where each unit stores a 192-bit node (1x 48-bit label + 3x 48-bit pointers), and performs an interaction by sending and receiving a 144-bit message to its main neighbor.
+
+This embeds the system into a 3D automata, which performs interactions at the propagation speed of light. Perhaps (just perhaps?), on low-order numeric computations (like MatMul), such hypothetical processor would not outperform existing hardware. Yet, on higher-order algorithms, including SMT solvers and discrete program search (which is, coincidently, the #1 contender on the LLM-defying  "ARC-AGI challenge"), such processor would significantly outperform existing alternatives, computing as efficiently as its underlying physically universe allows.

+imo representations matter. while their denotations may be isomorphic, the meta reasoning and discovery process are dramatically different depending on concrete representation (eg intuition associations). it's useful to keep multiple representations around for diff trajectories

+
+humans are just so confused about everything, we invent layers of complexity on top of a simple underlying reality, assign different names to the same fundamental concepts, spawn entire fields to investigate the same mathematical objects under different grammatical names
+
+**2/** **@comohology** ^2068004605489782942
+
+**@VictorTaelin**
+
+Can you give an example of this in mathematics? I don't think what you say is true.
+
+**3/** **@VictorTaelin** ^2068009260731019412
+
+what I wrote isn't just true, it is how humanity operates
+
+if we weren't so eager to name concepts in a way that appeals to our evolved meat brain intuitions, we could probably compress and unify our whole body of mathematical knowledge into a tiny fraction of its current length
+
+what sparkled this specific tweet was a conversation about SupGen, where someone had an a-ha moment when I told them that synthesizing a proof to a formal statement is the same procedure as finding the solution to a set of equations.
+
+researchers arbitrarily decided to give many different names to that:
+- inductive program synthesis
+- symbolic regression
+- automated theorem proving
+- constraint satisfaction
+- type inhabitation
+- higher order unification
+
+all these are literally the same thing, per curry-howard's isomorphism.
+
+and beyond just using different names, we also study these things as completely separate fields. for example, if you search the literature, you'll find most papers on program synthesis implement a solution that crafts programs given test equations, but not proofs. and papers on ATP implement a solution to finding proofs given theorems, but not programs. and they use different jargon, find the same problems, gravitate the same solution in full separation.
+
+EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE WORKING IN THE SAME PROBLEM
+
+this goes beyond programs/proofs, it happens everywhere. another example is how linearity is the obvious solution to implementing functional runtime with O(1) mutable buffers, and free of garbage collection, and massively parallel, and a thousand of other things. but we work on each of these "desired features" as separate problems even though they're all symptoms of the same underlying disease: human intuition biased towards thinking that sharing variables is "free"
+
+it is just how we work, and it is depressing

+I have sorted that only halfway in code. By measuring CRAP score and other stuff the agent has to keep complexity in mind and improve test coverage. It also has to keep files at a certain length. If those standards are not kept it cannot go past the commit gate and is forced to clean up.
+
+This is how it inderectly also spots dead code to remove.

+
+I even suggested it in Claude Code / Codex's Issues as a way to improve context management.
