I just released mold 3.0.0! This is the first Rust version of mold, rewritten from C++ with performance on par with 2.42.1. The goal of mold 3.x is to close the remaining GNU ld compatibility gaps and make mold the default linker in Linux distros. github.com/rui314/mold/relea…

Using Rust Code from Unity for High Performance

Unity gives you several ways to write fast code, and one more over the same pointers Burst uses. Measured across every Unity runtime, the speed gap turns out to depend more on how old the runtime is...

First Impressions: My first three days living in the MMORPG simulation SEED

SEED is a game that wasn't on my radar until right before it came to early access, which may seem strange since it’s been in development for years. My only explanation is that my radar must have...

Millennials, it's time to choose your midife crisis 1. Date a 23 year old 2. Quit drinking and become insufferable about it 3. Double down on drinking 4. Train for a marathon nobody asked about 5. Have a panic baby (with wife you hate) 6. "We're opening the relationship" (she bangs) 7. Get divorced 8. Get diagnosed with adult ADHD/autism 9. Niche side quests like rock climbing, hyrox, gardening, handstands

Karpathy's autoresearch for optimization is a powerful skill. We just used it to find the best GPU + VLLM Gemma4 config for @seedmmo. Gave it our evals + ability to change configs. Found the best setup for us overnight with a findings.md at the end.
