Yes, of course. It doesn’t seem to recall the specific details very well, or confuses them with x86 or ARM instructions that do similar things. And yes, my AGENTS.md says ONLY USE INSTRUCTIONS IN blah.txt. I dunno,…
IME, they’re still pretty bad at getting specific implementation details of SIMD correct. The best I’ve done so far is to harness them to an actual piece of hardware and have them iterate until they see performance…
It should, I agree, but in practice the enforcement mechanism no longer functions.

Exactly my point. Some conservatives in this thread got wrapped around themselves thinking I was using regressive as a synonym for conservative, but no, I said what I meant; specific words mean specific things.
(1952). Heinlein was such an odd fellow. Extremely progressive on one hand and extremely regressive on the other, sometimes in the span of a single paragraph.
But Krugman doesn’t “just study stuff.” That’s the misrepresentation. You’re not performing skepticism; it’s either ignorance or petty dishonesty. And all the Krugman negging! “Not a real Nobel Prize.” Sick burn, dude.
You know, I hadn’t noticed that it didn’t. Must be some vestigial, ancient hacker ethos thing.
Absolutely. It’s not socialism to nationalize a company that’s gone and made itself instrumental to national security and/or foreign policy. Especially when said company seems to interfere with either on a whim, often…

For a completely meaningless notion you do seem able to dispute its meaning in the sibling thread. Not that it matters much to me whether it was or is meaningful or not. Nostalgia is simply a feeling that doesn’t imply…
I disapprove of how much underage material they host. Free speech absolutism runs head-first into its internal contradictions.
I don’t really agree. Carl Sagan and other public intellectuals popularized these sorts of memes but no one really stepped in to replace them. The Ezra Kleins and Nate Silvers of the contemporary world are not in the…

I can’t downvote things, but I would have. It seems intended to inflame, and ended up doing so. The guidelines tell us to avoid “fulmination.”

I like JRPGs from the early 2000s. I haven’t settled on one that I like enough to specialize in yet. It’s a bit of a time commitment, as you can imagine.
I feel ya. Most of my friends from high school and college are dead from random cancers, or drugs, or both. I used to love skimming the new preprints on arXiv in the morning but now the signal is buried LLM drivel. The…
We’re down to a handful of breadtubers hiding from the Algorithm on Nebula, and some random podcasts. (No, not including the Pod crew. They regularly criticize leftists from the right.)
