the best way to prevent false sharing is by making it so that no two threads are in a position to access the same data structure which may be inconsistent because it is being written to. embrace message passing.

I can recognize it too. For example, there's that particular archetype where the writing summarizes things by leading with a block quote. But I don't think that's a bad thing. To be honest, I actually think some AI style of speaking is effective for conveying information. People can have different opinions, of course. I write most things with my own hands. But if I feel like the AI's suggestion is better than what I…
For me the core of the anti AI argument has nothing to do with form and style - although that is how AI writing can often be identified. Its much simpler - if you cant be bothered to write it, I cant be bothered to read it. There is no communication happening otherwise. I can enter a prompt on my own.
You're basically saying that hammering a nail with a regular hammer and hammering it with a power tool aren't the same act. Let me put it this way. I don't like fully AI generated writing either. But if I read something and can see traces that a human wrote the first draft and then refined it, then I don't really care if AI was involved.
It's just a question of where the effort is placed. And the real key is whether the right "keywords" are there or not. If you've actually used AI, you'll know that it's a layering tool. The output varies a lot depending on the layers of input you give it. No matter how much I prompt it about functional programming, I'm not going to get results that are deep or particularly good. This piece seems like someone put a fair amount of care into it, but I guess you see it differently.
Honestly, if the people who taught me or explained things to me had written at this level, I might agree with you. But most of the professors and people I've encountered didn't write this well this easily.

There are some points where I disagree with that argument. It comes down to where you draw the line on human effort.

Aside from the fact you automatically reduce your audience, as there's lots of people who will be immediately turned off, I want to speak, not have a machine speak for me.
To take your hammer analogy, i will always use the hammer to hit the nail, but I might use a machine to help find a good place for the nail!

I have used AI fairly extensively to help me summarise info, or to explore topics I'm not familar with. But I don't use AI text directly in anything I write for consumption by other humans.

I respect your perspective. Have a good day, and I hope you understand that I didn't write my comment with any intention of attacking you.
I don't get it. If the ring structure has 4 field (excluding the cold ones), and all 4 have alignment constraints, doesn't it define 4 zones in 4 cache lines, and not 2? I expected head and cached_tail, for example, to share the same line, but since they are both 128-byte aligned, they end up in separate lines. Granted, both lines are dedicated to only one side of the producer-consumer pipe, but we're wasting cache l…

You have a point. I think it's just a matter of how we get information. It's a difference in values, and we're bound to see things differently. That said, this is how I think, and I don't plan to change my mind. You probably also think you're right, and given your situation, you probably are. I respect your perspective.
