Hi HN, I made a JIT compiler so that I can easily setup VLA experiments and iterate fast for my robot arms using a python interface but have cuda kernels and metal kernels in the background. I prefer the platform agnostic DX and the uv native simplicity whilst also gaining performance, Its a cool idea please give a few stars, im sure it will help the ecosystem

Well I wanted to implement light transport papers without having to deal with cpp. I think tinygrad, and more specifically tinyJIT are super useful abstractions. This is def not available in ts

I saw a tweet that tinygrad is so good that you could make a graphics library that wraps tg. So I’ve been hacking on a gtinygrad, and honestly it convinced me it could be used for legit research.

The JIT + tensor model ends up being a really nice way to express light transport all in simple python, so I reimplemented some new research papers from SIGGRAPH like REstir PG and SZ and it just works. instead of complicated cpp its just a 200 LOC of python.

When I made a swift package manager as Rust rewrite I realized that the language wasn't the issue, design is a lot more important. Rust just gave a boost to everything else. you can try Gust here https://github.com/quantbagel/gust a lot better than using SwiftPM but there's room for improvement! Make issues with your ideas

near 300x speed improvement on warm build and resolved, parallelized installs, etc

Also made an abstraction for tryhackme, hackthebox and pwncollege. So you can solve machines straight from the terminal with hints.

Sakana.ai improved on this by honing in on sample efficiency iirc with shinkaevolve (which is open source and not an ai slop project)
