I've only had a couple weeks in rentals with automatic emergency braking, and was very nearly been rear-ended twice due to false positives. Anecdotal, and I'm sure they'll improve with time, but I would never allow the…
I would assume that the state law protects parents against a city adding a restriction in their municipal code.
Gated communities, by their nature, attract and encourage the sort of busybodies who think that everyone needs to be protected from everything.
Our neighborhood in the northeast US does the same (minus the hard prohibition against parents going with them). Our 5 and 9 year old walk to school daily, usually picking up the neighbors' kids (6, 6, 10, 9, 7, 7)…
That’s exactly the same rule with more words (postfix = right, prefix = left).
This comes up every so often, and while it's sort of almost true and attractive, it isn't actually correct. The correct rule is "follow the C grammar". An easier to remember and also correct rule is "start at the…
It's very cool. Thank you!
"Centrist" in practice means "more or less content with the status quo." That is fundamentally a conservative position orthogonal to any notion of "facts".
The work discussed in this post shipped in the OS last year (fall 2025), so nothing here is dependent on very recent changes.
Field hockey is almost exclusively a girls sport in the US, while boys have (American) football in the fall. Both draw from the potential pool of soccer players in US middle and high schools.
“in a real race we have no actual chance of winning” is an absolutely wild thing to say in response to a link to a real race in which the human has won the last few years in a row.
What sort of engineering standards are these Cybertrucks built to? Oh, very rigorous engineering standards. The wheels aren't supposed to fall off for a start.
We have a ground-source heat pump for our ADU. We did it because we were curious about just how efficient we could make the house, but I don't expect that it will ever break even financially vs a modern air-source…
Prior to the current generation Intel designs, Apple’s branch predictor tables were a good deal larger than Intel’s IIRC, so depending on benchmarking details it’s plausible that Apple Silicon was predicting every…
Must be the water.
The CORE-MATH project authors, most of whom are French academics (including the author of the linked paper). I don’t know of any interesting work in this space that came out of Red Hat, why do you suggest them?
"I'd like to thank my mother, Ayn Rand, and God" is the usual example. Yes, you can reorder the list to remove the ambiguity, but sometimes the order of the list matters. The serial comma should be used when necessary…
That would fall under "more constrained", due to process limits.
Enlarging a branch predictor requires area and timing tradeoffs. CPU designers have to balance branch predictor improvements against other improvements they could make with the same area and timing resources. What this…
Your students should be able to figure out if a computation is exact or not, because they should understand binary representation of numbers.
You can often eke something out for order-four, depending on uArch details. But basically yeah.
For throughput-dominated contexts, evaluation via Horner's rule does very well because it minimizes register pressure and the number of operations required. But the latency can be relatively high, as you note. There are…
When Intel specced the rsqrt[ps]s and rcp[ps]s instructions ~30 years ago, they didn't fully specify their behavior. They just said their relative error is "smaller than 1.5 * 2⁻¹²," which someone thought was very…
For the asinf libcall on macOS/x86, my former colleague Eric Postpischil invented the novel (at least at the time, I believe) technique of using a Remez-optimized refinement polynomial following rsqrtss instead of the…
Ideally either one is just a library call to generate the coefficients. Remez can get into trouble near the endpoints of the interval for asin and require a little bit of manual intervention, however.
