It'd be really interesting to see whether the winning (losing?) instructions/strategies would be different on other architectures. At least right now the top spot (`fxrstor64` on M…

Why are you opposed to a general pause?

Time is often not of the essence when doing fundamental research.

Desktop operating systems != phone operating systems. You need to have a lot of support for things like "sleep apps you're not using right now" or you'll burn through battery. Not …

The 'special treatment' isn't technical, it's procedural -- insofar as if, during development for a new release, MSVC were to land some changes that broke GSL, Microsoft's testing …

But we still try to stop people from doing so, and we punish people who do. Many good honest people, when confronted with the end of their business, accept it and file for bankrupt…

For if someone steals the phone?

They're engaging with the writing . Talking about it as if it's just an "argument" is reductive; this isn't highschool debate club

Man, it's not an argument. Nobody is paying us to read this. If your argument sucks to read, people aren't going to read it - this has always been true, it's nothing new.

Reading through this accounts other comments, it feels rather Claude-like. I wouldn't mention this if it weren't a consistent pattern

Sorry, but most of us need to work to eat. This idea that our "value" is has nothing to do with the economy is an idea rooted in deep privilege, in the ability to say -- if I don't…

Many devices are indeed locked down. But given that it's an OS company and hardware vendor, many employees have access to hardware with e.g. SoC fusing that allows them to install …

I've always had mixed feelings about Cognition. Obviously they have some very, very smart people working there (I even know a few), and they do make real products. But at the same …

Post offices aren't meant to operate in the free market. More things should be like them.

If you keep studying econ you will learn that these failures are actually the norm, and thus why the only "capitalist" states to really succeed have been the ones where the state w…

> they catch every security issue No they don't! They catch a lot but certainly not all of them. I can't explain why but it 100% happens.

I'm not saying anything good or bad about the fact that they can do what they do. But they can do what they do, it's not hype.

> while the large slowdown is justified because it allows people to use existing C applications unchanged instead of rewriting in a safe language (never mind that these two claims …

I want to put this charitably, but you come out swinging by saying this is "over hyped"... You clearly don't work in a role dealing with attacks from these models. They've changed …

No, that's not the point. This isn't a situation where you need to "guess"; bloom filters should be sized according to their capacity. This is akin to having a fixed 10-arg buffer …
