I’ve built a fully cross-platform SIMD-accelerated C++ pseudo-random number generation library designed for real-world deployment (Windows, Linux, macOS).

Repository: https://github.com/whisprer/c-simd-rng-lib/

The goal was to solve a practical gap:

Most high-performance SIMD RNG implementations are either:

academic prototypes

single-architecture

non-portable

incomplete

or not packaged for real deployment

This library provides:

• AVX2 / AVX-512 accelerated paths (with graceful fallback) • Deterministic, reproducible streams • Clean API surface • Zero external runtime dependencies • Works across Win / Linux / macOS • Production-ready build setup

In bulk generation scenarios it significantly outperforms std::mt19937 and standard engines, and benchmarks competitively (or faster) than other SIMD-enabled RNG libraries.

A separate benchmarking repository contains:

• Full comparison suite • Competing library benchmarks • Throughput numbers • Architectural breakdowns • Methodology + raw results

Benchmark repo: https://github.com/whisprer/benchmark/

The focus is high-throughput generation for simulations, Monte Carlo, procedural systems, and statistical workloads where large batches matter more than single draws.

Interested in feedback from folks working in HPC, simulation, game engines, or scientific computing.

Today I got some insight into the code quality of Steve Yegge's Gas Town by running it through Sonar Cloud [1]

I followed that up with — appropriately — a vibe code review [2]…

_______

…Brutal Verdict:

You’ve built a message bus out of duct tape and string. It’s "Booch-like" only in the sense that you’ve abstracted the concept of a channel, but the _implementation_ is pure "boot-camp-grad-on-their-third-Red-Bull."

You are using a high-performance versioned database (Dolt) to store... manually parsed colon-separated strings. _Why?_*

Does anyone has a copy of the "Hacker News Fixed Width for Widescreen Monitors" userstyle?

I've checked several of the Userstyles.org mirrors, as well as more modern websites, but cannot find this particular userstyle I used all the time.

I built a small app for one problem: too many inputs, too little structure.

Most todo tools assume every item is a task. In reality I need one inbox for mixed things: tasks, events, links, movie/book tips, random reminders.

Cappu’s flow is: capture fast now, process later in a focused pass, then work from sorted views (workspace + timeline).

It’s a mobile-first PWA (no App Store), and you can test all features for free. Paywall is only for account sync/server storage across devices.

I’d love feedback from HN on the workflow itself: does “capture first, classify later” make sense, or would you do it differently?

Logbooks adapts some ideas from structured notebook computing environments like nbdev and Papermill for Claude Code and other coding agents. This is a pattern I found myself repeating across a few recent projects, and thought I'd try to formalize it and reflect on it a bit.

Research and scientific computing rely on notebooks because they often consist of complex sequences of one-off variations, and demand both flexibility and reproducibility. But my experience using Cursor and Claude Code with Jupyter has been quite poor.

What I've found here is that creating a "notebook", naively, as a parameterized markdown file that is instantiated upon each execution, worked much better than I had expected it to, and I'm interested in figuring out what the limits of this approach are. I would welcome any ideas or feedback!
