GPUs made training massive models possible, but inference needs better memory capacity, memory bandwidth utilization, more power efficiency, and an architecture built bottom up with transformers in mind. To that end, I'm excited to share that Positron just raised a $51.6M Series A! We offer solutions that are already deployed and are shipping today, and we've designed new silicon to reshape AI inference—reducing cost, drastically cutting power consumption, and unlocking entirely new capabilities in production AI environments. I'm proud of what the @positron_ai team has accomplished and I'm grateful to our investors Valor Equity Partners, Atreides Management, and DFJ Growth for backing us! To celebrate a writeup in the Wall Street Journal that landed over the weekend, the folks in the lab put together a schlocky little promo spot, which I couldn't resist sharing here. [No production cards were harmed during the filming of this video.]

Published a new blog post! ✍️ 8 months of OCaml after 8 years of Haskell in production In this blog post, I compare OCaml and Haskell across 🧪 Syntax 🧪 Features 🧪 Ecosystem 🧪 Tooling 🧪 Compiler messages 🧪 Standard library I hope you enjoy! 🤗 And let me know any feedback you have! Please, repost to support my work! Really appreciate that! 🙏 dev.to/chshersh/8-mon…

ghc-lib-9.10.1.20240511 released: - cut from ghc-9.10.1-release; - companion ghc-lib-parser-ex-9.10.0.0.

GHC 9.10.1 is at long last released! Between the continued iteration on the GHC20xx meta-extension mechanisms, further improvements in the JS/wasm backends, and (my favorite) the availability of exception backtraces in `base`, there is lots to be excited about. #haskell

Thrilled to have presented at @usingstdcpp. A big thank you to @jdgarciauc3m for his outstanding leadership in chairing the conference. Grateful for the opportunity and the engaging discussions that followed. #UsingStdCpp2024 #TechGrowth #ITLeadership

starlark-rust is a Starlark (simplified deterministic Python) implementation as a Rust library. We use it heavily in the Buck2 build system. Yesterday it graduated to github.com/facebook/starl…, having previously been in facebookexperimental. Nice to see our library growing up!

We just open sourced github.com/facebookincuba…. Useful if you're using the Buck2 build system and want to build a CI that only reruns the minimal subset of things that might have been changed by a PR. Essential on huge projects!

ghc-lib-9.8.2.20240223 released: - cut from ghc-9.8.2-release; - companion ghc-lib-parser-ex-9.8.0.0 (unchanged).

@tritlo ghc-lib-parser-ex is full of this sort of thing

POV you need to support every GHC that GHCup can install

We’ve open sourced DotSlash, a tool that makes large executables available in source control with a negligible impact on repository size, thus avoiding I/O-heavy clone operations. #opensource engineering.fb.com/2024/02/06/dev…

WhatsApp uses #Buck2 to build its Erlang codebase. Andreas explains how in youtu.be/E1_txkn7YKA?si…

#Haskell linter HLint 3.8 now out with GHC 9.8 support (thanks to @shayne_fletcher for tirelessly keeping up with GHC). github.com/ndmitchell/hli…

ghc-lib-9.6.4.20240109 released: - cut from ghc-9.6.4-release; - companion ghc-lib-parser-ex-9.6.0.2 (unchanged).

Haskell's import syntax has improved a lot over the last few years. A lot of Haskell source code is formatted in the former style, with all the spaces at the front... I just think it looks so much nicer when `qualified as` comes after the module name!

ghc-lib-9.8.1.20231121, ghc-lib-9.6.3.20231121 and ghc-lib-9.6.2.20231121 released: - fixes issue with cmm sources in ghc-lib-parser's .cabal file - companions ghc-lib-parser-ex-9.8.0.0, ghc-lib-parser-ex-9.6.0.2 (unchanged)
