I am building a machine learning framework in C++. So far I put almost 2 years of my leisure time into it and hope to be able to show it off around end of this year.
Uchen ([oochen]) is Ukrainian for "student". My goal is to help people build smarter software and have some fun.

I would not hesitate to tell a German “I like sausage”, would just have to clarify I am talking about the food.

First I played Jak3 they I decided to pick up Jak and Dexter. Was super confused with the difference in mood and gameplay. Jak2 was written by the edgelord.

Мені скоро 46, моїй дружині так само. Син привіз з коледжу дівчину знайомити.
Мені взагалі байдуже що люди сказали б про наш зовнішній вигляд - мене більше хвилює як перелякано на мене дивиться та бідолашна дівчинка…

Nothing prevents suicides like those voice menus. “Thank you for reaching suicide prevention hotline. Your call may be recorded for training and quality purposes. If you are suffering from domestic abuse press 1. If you are LGBT youth press 2. If you are (so on)… for Spanish speaking, press 5. To repeat this message press 0).”

NVIDIA spent decades on CUDA. They invested in tools, libraries and devrel. AMD/ATI did not care. I left NV 10 years ago and sold all my stock a long time ago but I still feel so vindicated that all that investment and hard work paid off.

I once referred a friend to Google. They interviewed her from November till July, restarting the process at least twice. They ultimately declined. I stopped referring my friends after that.

It says “we’ll kill you all” in a very bad Ukrainian. It is hilarious how obvious it is that this was written by Russians because it copies sentence structure and some words from Russian while no Ukrainian speaks that way.

Те саме було. В Америці протести що «не наша війна», французи намагались жити як могли. Всякі Швейцарії не помічали, там британці і німці на лижах каталися.
Просто після перемоги стало модно показувати що ти з правильного боку був.

I use Windows with WSL. I write mostly C++. I left macOS because I wanted GPUs for experimentation. I hate Linux desktop, it is buggy and hideous.
VSCode has great support with WSL, I barely notice there's actually two OSes.

People don’t use tools that suck. Most Visual Studio users use interactive debugging because Microsoft does it well. GDB/LLDB, on the other hand, suck. They are slow and hard to learn. I worked on debuggers and really familiar with GDB, and yet I only use it as a last resort…

Unnecessary cruelty. My kids could swim at 2 without any need for this cruelty. Just bring them into the water, hold them carefully and fool around. When the get water into mouth and nose just show that it is funny and fun. No need for cruelty.

Почему вы все никак не поймете что никто не делит россиян на «хороших» и «плохих». Вы все одним миром рамазаны. Голосовали за Путина, радовались бомбежкам Грузии и захвату Крыма. Ваши внутренние дрязги вокруг кормушки всем пофиг.

MacOS had a hardware accelerated compositor (use to be called Quartz, don’t know about now) as long as I remember (e.g. at least for 20 years). This is just a slightly different shader. No measurable power consumption change.

Firefox blocks a bunch of features they don’t like. They used to be lagging behind in implementing modal and dialog, refused to implement some nice keyboard layout APIs (because of “privacy concerns”) and such.

Guidelines I follow to ship safe C++ (thread):
1. C constructs are a code smell. Replace raw pointers with smart pointers or references (no nulls!), replace C array with std::array (now it is safe to return). std::invoke, C++ casts, etc. Avoid preprocessor (#define and such)

Nah. My ex was nagging me about my hobbies and preferences (e.g. music or clothing). It was bothering me initially. Then I just realized it is her who has a very empty and meaningless life and in no position to criticize me. I ended up divorcing her. In my new relationships I am more assertive and don’t accept criticisms like that from early on.

I am writing my own machine learning framework (who doesn't?) except I am coming more from C++ background so I am not mimicking PyTorch API.
One big difference is that I do not have "model architecture" (computation graph) in-memory as objects. I will detail my design in thread.

Я не вважаю секс "приводом для знайомства" (мені понад 40 років) і мої стосунки довжиною в рокі почалися з нього на першому побачені.
Отже кажу - секс під тиском - неприйнятно. Цей хлопець перевіряє наскільки далеко він вас може продавити. Не погоджуйтесь. В кращому випадку він вас кине, в гіршому - почне бити через кілька тижнів.

It was way more hilarious in the Russian twitter. Grok was telling that only mentally challenged people repeat Russian propaganda, that it (Grok) have never heard Russian authorities not lying and so on. Russians had complete meltdown.

Russia is about to switch to their traditional strategy - run to Ural Mountains and burn everything behind them and then hope for the winter to starve the enemy out. I don’t think Ukraine will fall for this.

I was practicing leetcode - and was surprised when my solution for a trivial problem was in top 5% on memory efficiency. The trick - relying on std::string_view. Pretty sure others just used std::string that used more memory. Execution time was on par with others.

Нет никакой деградации. Я общался с недавно уехавшими русскими в штатах. В 80х-90х они притворялись нормальными чтобы «лохи» на западе им деньги и ништяки давали. В 2000х, как отъелись, их скотская суть наружу и вылезла. Они всегда презирали запад.

As someone who had actually been in that position (though I stayed throughout the treatments) I would not judge that much. Several years of someone’s life is a lot to ask for. Caregiver actually is not able to do something to make a sick person life better.

One misguided optimization often see is using "reserve" method of the std::vector. "reserve" is a code smell in almost all cases. See the thread for details.

Prices are high because of insurance. Hospitals jack up ‘list prices’ then cut deals with insurers, leaving the uninsured stuck with the fake high rates. Cut out the middlemen, and hospitals would have to charge real prices.

BS. No one is doing this because businesses can't just "buy in bulk" from Costco and store in their garage. I love being able to flex my degree in economics so I will explain - competently ran companies do not have money to suddenly "buy in bulk". They do not have warehouse space for excess inventory. Shipping needs to be planned months in advance.
