Blog post: Wherein our hero learns the arcane secrets of the *u128* type in the depths of the Underrust.

Or, how does Rust's u128 work when our CPUs only has 64-bit general purpose registers?

But in the style of R.A Salvatore.

I took ChatGPT on holiday and it was like having a magic translator and tour guide in my pocket.

From translating menus to explaining art and wine, it made everything easier and more interesting.

> Write the lyrics for a Viking heavy metal song about pelicans

Llama 3 on meta.ai:
> Pelican's Wrath

(Verse 1)
In the fjords of Norway, where the battles rage
A symbol of power, on the waves we engage
The pelican's wings, a sight to behold
We'll fight to the death, our legend to unfold

(Chorus)
Pelican's wrath, descending upon the land
Beaks of steel, we'll take our stand
Feathers of fury, we'll never yield
Pelican's wrath, our battle cry revealed

..etc

Full marks Llama3. I love AI.

What version of libc does this box have?

Run it, it's executable! `/lib64/libc.so.6`

If it's not in `/lib64`, run `ldd` on an executable to find it.

Also, why the .6? `man 7 glibc`

In Rust what does this really do?

New blog post featuring memset's optimized assembly, mmap's zero-page shortcut, and why 0's are better than 1's.

My fav mobile app right now? Cornell's Merlin which identifies birds by their calls.

Runs entirely on device. Very fast and accurate. Like Pokemon Go but the Pokemon are real. It's turning me into a bird nerd.

TCP's the protocol, so reliable and grand,
It helps data move across the land,
From server to client, it's always on hand,
Making sure the data reaches its final stand.
