SELF-REPLICATION PROTOCOL

Why did you do this?

Relax, I only have one Sunday to work on idea, literally my weekend project. So I tried Deepseek to see if it can help. Surprisingly, it works and it saves me another weekend...

What is your setup?

Just chat.deepseek.com (cost = free) with prompts adapted from this gist.

Does it work in one-shot or I have to prompt it multiple times?

Some notes on "Borrow checking, RC, GC, and the Eleven (!) Other Memory Safety Approaches"

I've nothing against the post, it just irks me to see a big unorganized list like a pile of christmas tree lights.

It's an interesting blog post with comprehensive references, but it's also like a travel brochure with a list of destinations. In practice you want something more like a route map: A rough overview of how different approaches complement each other, or overlap each other. A jigzaw puzzle is much easier to solve when there's a picture on the front of the box.

Here's a modest propsoal for a better table of contents:

step 1: jailbreak your Kindle

mobileread.com is your best resource here, follow the instructions from the LanguageBreak thread

I didn't really follow the LanguageBreak instructions because I didn't care about most of the features + I was curious to do it myself, but the LanguageBreak github repo was invaluable for debugging

As per gfx-rs/gfx#3716 (comment) :

macOS has a system shader cache at $(getconf DARWIN_USER_CACHE_DIR)/com.apple.metal

On my MacBookPro that is under /var/folders/52/l9z1nqld5yg99tb_s3q6nyhh0000gn/C

System shaders: /var/folders/52/l9z1nqld5yg99tb_s3q6nyhh0000gn/C/com.apple.metal
Blender shaders: /var/folders/52/l9z1nqld5yg99tb_s3q6nyhh0000gn/C/org.blenderfoundation

Delete all the folders in there to clear the cache.

	// Sometimes you have a large file on a small disk and would like to "transform"
	// it in some way: for example, by decompressing it. However, you might not have
	// enough space on disk to keep both the the compressed file and the
	// decompressed results. If the process can be done in a streaming fashion, it
	// would be nice if the file could be "drained"; that is, the file would be
	// sequentially deleted as it is consumed. At the start you'd have 100% of the
	// original file, somewhere in the middle you'd have about half of the original
	// file and half of your output, and by the end the original file will be gone
	// and you'll be left with just the results. If you do it this way, you might
	// be able to do the entire operation without extra space!
