Systems and developer-tools engineer at Cloudflare as of 2026, on durable infrastructure for AI agents; worked on React and PartyKit before that. Writes at sunilpai.dev.
overwhelmed by the response to this, I knew it was common but didn’t realise how badly people needed to see it acknowledged. fwiw, I learnt this most deeply on the react team; I joined what I thought was my dream job, and immediately failed in this fashion, leaving in a year. Quoting @threepointone new post: the senior engineer death spiral https://t.co/xzgU1jVBRh a friend just started a big job and asked for some advice. so I braindumped a monologue about a super common failure mode I see with engineers and posted it here, hope it helps whoever it can.

Our computers represent tiny tiny numbers in a form called 'subnormal'. They have a reputation for causing performance problems... but my results indicate that on recent processor architectures, they may only cause a problem for Intel. Related

Their words
Thus it appears that on the latest AMD and ARM processors subnormals might not be a concern. But they remain very much a performance issue under Intel processors.

Apple design its own chips for its phones. The latest CPU is the A20 Pro. Geekbench is a benchmark with a database of results; you can run your own benchmarks and share your numbers with the world. In the last few days, we finally got some A20 Pro results and the numbers are impressive... reaching 4000 in single-core (one thread) performance. For comparison, the best that you can do with an x64 AMD or Intel processor is something like the Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 at about 3,163 which would be somewhere between the A18 and A19. The A20 Pro is 25% faster on this benchmark than any AMD or Intel processo… benchmarks Related

A really lovely GRID VIEW is coming to Basecamp 5 shortly. We had a grid view in 4, but it wasn't any good and I didn't want to drag it into 5. Had we done that, we'd have called it done and never revisited. By intentionally leaving it out, we allowed pressure to build to bring it back. And with no legacy to battle or revamp, we were able to return to the drawing board and make something so much better, from scratch. Coming to a Basecamp near you. Soon. Related

Economist; former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund.
There were some long (too long) tweets earlier which stated it carefully. The basic point is that the decrease in interest payments is offset by a decrease in transfers from the central bank, leaving the deficit unchanged. This is the sense in which it makes no difference, except accounting. Then, there is a thousand caveats, which Quentin and others have discussed, and then the psychological/political effects that make things worse. But the basic point is the basic point. :) Quoting @JohnHCochrane Olivier: I know tweets are short, but you really should qualify “makes no difference”. To what—and not to what else? Inflation? Can all countries and banks default on all assets held by ecb with “no difference?” You don’t mean that of course. Don’t let them misquote you! interest rates Related

Is there a service where I can rent access to Linux desktop machines with actual displays? We're implementing the Playbit runtime for Linux and it's surprisingly difficult to test various desktop configurations. We need a real GPU with a display connected, for testing dawn/webgpu, vsync, display sleep, etc. We use Modal and AWS, neither have had machines that I've been able to test with properly. Ideally there's a way to test a variety of systems (like ubuntu, arch, alpine etc) × GPUs (nvidia, amd, intel) × window managers. Linux Related

Programmer and writer on computer architecture, performance, and software reliability. He has worked on CPU design at Centaur Technology and on software at Google and Microsoft, and writes long-form technical essays at danluu.com.
I was thinking about this prediction that we were going to see a lot more CPU bugs, danluu.com/cpu-bugs/, as yet another Intel CPU bug story is on the front page of HN. At the time, Intel threw quality under the bus in the name of velocity. I've seen this happen quite a few times now, sometimes with the stated intention of improving quality later. I'm sure it's ever happened, but I don't think I've ever seen a company do this and then ship very high quality products later. Related

And then you're still stuck with an old relationship and the question is will your old relationship a year from now be better than your old relationship that you currently have is? And if the answer is yes then yes sunk costs completely apply. But if the answer is no then what you're really doing is shopping for novelty not ignoring sunk costs.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the

quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked

are left in their original language.
