T800 GLM-5.2 ported GTK3 to Fil-C
(It had the benefit of reading my patch to port GTK4. Even so, it did a fine job.)

In other words:
In Fil-C: you can do xz compression and decompression. It’s super fast and memory safe.
In Rust: you can do memory unsafe xz compression and it’ll be slower then what you get in Fil-C, presumably because they’re using an ancient version of liblzma

I tried comparing xzutils ported to Fil-C to xzutils ported to Rust only to find out that even Rust crates that *seem* like they are Rust ports of xz are just using C code.
(They're slower than Fil-C anyway, probably because they're using ancient liblzma versions.)

To make it even funnier, the Rust implementation is a giant pile of `unsafe`.

Fil-C is faster than Rust at single-threaded BLAKE3
Computing the hash of a 3.5GB tarball on a AVX512-capable system.
Fil-C: 759 ms
Rust: 796 ms
I'll compare multi-threaded later (need to pull in some dependency I don't have)

I'm having T800 GLM-5.2 rebase my git port on top of Libre-WD-40/git.

Fun fact: git without rust is safer than git with rust, since rust dependencies mean you can’t build it with Fil-C. And Fil-C is safer than Rust, since it doesn’t rely on unsafe escape hatches.
Git works great when built with Fil-C. Included in /opt/fil fil-c.org/install_optfil

Fil's Unbelievable C Compiler: faster at AVX512 intrinsics than gcc 13.3.0, at least this one time on this one benchmark.
And it's totally memory safe

3557674646 byte tar.gz file (the lfs-postlc5.tar.gz byproduct of Pizlix build)
Strix Halo, Ubuntu 24.04
CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
AVX512, gcc, x86 intrinsics: 0.786 sec
AVX512, gcc, handwritten amd64 asm: 0.694 sec
AVX512, filcc, x86 intrinsics: 0.769 sec
No tbb (I haven't ported that library yet).
Using example.c compiled with -O2 -g

🚨ANTHROPIC CEO: OPEN SOURCE AI IS GETTING DANGEROUS
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei told lawmakers that open-source AI is moving down a “very dangerous path.”
His warns that once powerful models are released openly, companies lose the ability to monitor misuse, revoke access, or update safety guardrails.

there is no Xorg, no wayland, no gtk, no qt, no browser engine in this video
just the linux kernel JavaScriptCore. no base distro
git.kyun.sh/naphtha/elderflo…
fully typescript and WASM userland (yes, really)
very WIP

I wrote a document describing how Fil-C's `longjmp`, `setjmp`, `setcontext`, `getcontext`, `makecontext`, and `swapcontext` implementations work while maintaining all of the memory safety guarantees

PSA - if you're trying to build Boost with Fil-C, here's a good write-up of what it takes

Modern AI resulted from research made also by many non-US scientists (Hinton, the French folks, Linnainmaa, many others). The pre-training corpus was produced worldwide with massive code contribution from Europe OSS. What is happening with frontier LLMs is unacceptable.

Yeah
the self-own that's happening to the ai industry right now is a great reminder of why human brains are just as important as ever
all the compute in the world and they couldn't foresee this basic situation
ai not gonna save you from having to be competent
