A very good explanation about “object soup” and how Rust is uniquely poorly suited to model problems in that way. It pins down a very fundamental issue that people coming from an object oriented background run into all the time and offers a helpful solution.

Quanta’s write-ups of math discoveries are always enjoyable to read. In this case an undergraduate (!) figured out something new about hash tables and how fast they can be. Not sure yet when this will be shipped in code, but still it’s a pretty amazing discovery.

Wild to see the materials that go into making a single inference machine for private use. At scale this stuff will of course be more efficient, but still the main components will be more or less the same.
