v0.1.6 released!

I fed the gate & AGC versions from ChatGPT & Gemini 3.1 Pro extended to Sonnet 5 max effort because I wasn't fully happy with either.

Then had Gemini review Sonnet's combination & improvement of both: "a solid A+" No waiting for ChatGPT to come back from timeout.

I think I agree, and don't want to touch DSP again for the rest of v0.1.x (maybe adaptive DSP like WebRTC VAD will make it into v0.2 as a debugflag toggle, between that & this lightweight envelope gate)?

I asked Gemini how much bigger that would make the universal binary: "Adding just the WebRTC VAD (Voice Activity Detection) component will likely add only **50 KB to 150 KB** to your binary, bringing your total universal binary size to roughly **650 KB – 750 KB**.")

🚀 Simplified JRuby Gradle plugin 2.4.0 has been released!

Documentation: https://jruby-gradle.ysb33r.org

Release notes: https://jruby-gradle.ysb33r.org/jruby-simple/2.4.0/changelog.html

#gradle #gradlePlugins #jruby

Ephemeral has like *63* packages...it was an experiment in a fully decomposable nuget based system so it has TINY packages which assemble to a whole system.
So each little coordinator pattern is a package. Like https://www.nuget.org/packages/Mostlylucid.Ephemeral.Atoms.SlidingCache

Which I use everywhere in Stylo.Bot - it's a weird TTL based sliding cache with auto eviction https://www.nuget.org/packages/Mostlylucid.Ephemeral.Atoms.SlidingCache

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@mitchellh/116993012549857824

If you're interested in "how" or "why": the major culprit is that each row in Alacritty has 32 bytes of metadata and each cell is 24 bytes. In Ghostty, every row and cell is represented by exactly 8 byte each. How?

The first major culprit is styles. Alacritty stores the full cell style alongside each cell (foreground, background, underline, etc.). Ghostty stores a 16-bit style ID and de-dupes all styles into a look-aside custom reference-counted hash table.

Next, codepoints. Alacritty stores multi-codepoint graphemes (like, Emoji) by having an 8-byte nullable pointer to a `Vec<char>`. This hurts doubly: (1) its almost always null (because multi-codepoint is rare) yet you pay an 8 byte cost on every cell and (2) every multi-codepoint grapheme triggers a heap allocation to make that Vec.

Ghostty stores single codepoints inline, but multiple codepoints in a look-aside table. The memory for this table uses a custom bitmap-tracked chunk-allocator (since grapheme frequency follows a measurable curve we calculated by scanning various online texts). The presence of graphemes is marked by a 2-bit content tag in our packed 64-bit cell. To keep the key small in the hash table, its limited to a 16-bit unsigned int that is an offset from a base pointer.

Okay, the astute systems programmer will quickly notice there are a lot of 16-bit integers and ask: so this is all limited to a max of ~65K values?

Nay. We maintain our grid using a linked list of contiguous ~400KB memory chunks (which themselves are in a memory pool using a custom allocator to speed up alloc/free). Each memory chunk is limited to 2^16. If/when we reach a limit, we move to the next page. In practice, this really doesn't happen except under pathological cases... the important point is we handle it.

Lots, lots, lots more details, but thats a 10,000 foot view.

These things alone account for ~95% of the difference of our uncompressed vs. Alacritty's uncompressed memory usage. (Theres also a reason why Alacritty's data structures aren't trivially compressable but thats a whole other topic)

The moment you begin using any of the many vibe-coded software projects that are popping up everywhere, you inherit it’s technical debt and future maintenance.

Wild that there is just no great solution for starting a reactive programming paradigm on iOS right now.

RxSwift feels too 2018. Combine is all but deprecated. Async/await has functionality gaps and doesn’t feel ready.

*sigh*
