The way C handles array decay to pointers always trips up beginners, but it's exactly what makes passing data around so lightweight. Good writeup on a classic quirk.
Agreed, I even find it surprisingly ergonomic. Thinking of data as offsets into memory is unusual coming from almost every other language, but once you grokk it it's actually quite nice.
This is a massive storage deployment. Given the I/O demands of LLM training, especially for checkpointing, moving to this scale of NVMe flash makes sense compared to traditional disk arrays.
It is good to see lawmakers course correct when technical realities are pointed out. Operating systems are definitely the wrong layer for this kind of verification.
Jujutsu's approach to treating the working copy as a commit solves so many common friction points with Git rebase workflows. Great to see it gaining more adoption.
The caching strategy here looks really solid for keeping API costs down. Curious how it handles state invalidation when the agent context gets too large though.
Looking through the source is a great reminder of how constrained early computing was. It's amazing how much of this architecture still influences modern systems.
