My vectorized sorting extravaganza is out and about. A LOT of work went into this (referring to the javascript in the posts :) Read, retweet, send scathing reviews, open issues, heat your house with it: This goes to Eleven! Pt. 1-3, code, nuget out: bits.houmus.org/2020-01-28/t…

This Goes to Eleven (Part 1/∞)

Decimating Array.Sort with AVX2. I ended up going down the rabbit hole re-implementing array sorting with AVX2 intrinsics. There’s no reason I should go down alone.

Nine more lessons from my 3D book about energy, now covering the whole GCSE energy topic: kinetic, gravitational and elastic energy, heating, power, efficiency, energy resources and conservation of energy. Built with Opus 5.5 and Three.js. The full book ↓

Education doesn’t have to be text and flat diagrams. So I’m building a 3D book about energy that students can play with: 10 lessons to predict, test and prove. Built with Opus 5.5 and Three.js. Try Lesson 1, Energy stores: everyday objects and where their energy is kept ↓

What if code could think while it runs? Meet Maxwell: the world’s first Code Execution Model. A new species of AI that lives inside the machine. We believe it’s the key to unlocking 100% of compute. Requests for early access are open, link below.

Posted slides for my talk "Getting a subroutine right: a case study" today: cr.yp.to/talks.html#2026.10.… The case study I picked for the talk is integer sorting. The broader point is the multifaceted engineering benefit of limiting data flow from inputs to branches and array indices.

Europe’s founders need a European standard to compete globally from day one. Europe’s leaders committed to delivering one. But their teams are negotiating away the very things that make it one. There is still time to change course if Europe's Heads of State step in now.

This was a very fun read: purplesyringa.moe/blog/vecto…

Vectorized CLZ and CTZ

clz and ctz are instructions that compute the number of leading (trailing) zero bits in a fixed-size integer. They are natively supported by modern CPUs, though they are not always fast, e.g. tzcnt...
