Actually running kernel. Going to work on this whenever I feel a bit drained from the rest of it. It is pretty amazing that this actually works. 
I told claude what I want and it actually generated me a reasonably nice diagram. Thanks for the tip.
I guess so, but if you want to do something a bit more lively than their examples, I find it gets hairy easily. This might actually be something llms could be really good at.
Why is it still so hard to go from hand drawn diagram to something that can be shown on github and maintained online?
Should look nice hand drawn, have a language, be easy to edit.
The documentation for it has been very consumable so far https://github.com/bitcoin-core/secp256k1/blob/master/doc/safegcd_implementation.md
Reviewing sipa's old muhash fast modular inverse PR. It's way over my head, but it is fun. So far just learned about muhash. I don't think I'll understand why Bernstein's fast gcd algorithm works, but at the least I want some form of intuition for how we are using it.
The last week was a bit rough, hope I find my step again.
Ja, ek sal dit moet proe.

Thank you for reading it :)
Wrote my thoughts down on the Bitcoin kernel library.
Might still improve it a bit, but it's a blog, so whatever.

I should probably try and write some more kernel docs and motivations soon.
Had a clear night yesterday and tried to get a better picture of Saturn with my phone. And it actually worked. You can get a picture of Saturn with just a Pixel 8 that lets you see the rings. Note how the stars in the background don't have the horizontal artifact (the ring) , but still smear towards the bottom. Maybe in a few years time we get even better optics and image processing. Weirdly enough the structures of the rings were better visible through the screen and slight movements than in the actual photo. Gonna be interesting to see what Jupiter and Mars look like later in the year.
