This is a beyond remarkable achievement. Finding this lower bound within a few days of prompting is absolutely crazy.

No. This is not what I meant. I absolutely agree that std::indirect is an improvement. My point is that when dealing with C++ code, now there is yet another way of doing the same t…

Because I will still encounter people who use the old of writing pimpl. So I now I'm forced to remember the old way + new way. People aren't magically switching to use std::indirec…

This is actually useful, but despite it is another extra thing you will have to remember when reading C++ code. I guess with LLMs things aren't so bad.

Honestly, in 2026 I would not really bother with OpenGL. Just start with WebGPU, it's much nicer. You can use it easily on most modern browsers or better can even use native librar…

C++ would also introduce a myriad other subtle safety problems that would require years of expertise to even notice.

I disagree. Not all skills are useless. For example, I sometime use Qt for GUI projects and I have found their skills [0] very useful to improve the quality and performance of my p…

An interesting opinion on this by Chandler Carruth: https://hachyderm.io/@chandlerc/116694268329657881 .

This is what you can with Qt: #include #include #include class widget : public QWidget { void paintEvent(QPaintEvent*) override { QPainter(this).drawEllipse(QPoint(320, 240), 100, …

I use AI mostly to prototype features in my existing projects. If I have an idea, I use the AI to implement it and try out different ways in which it could be implemented. Then I t…

While I agree that shared pointer are problematic (I almost never use them in C++), I don't think they're ever really the reason for performance issues in GUI apps. I've been doing…

Ok fair enough, thanks for letting me know.

> Will any of this translate to Windows programs like File Manager? Did you not read the thread? That's literally stated as an explicit goal.

I have to give it to Apple though in this case. Waves or warps are ridiculously uninformative, while simdgroups at least convey some useful information.
