I think this is the fourth time I've seen this on the front page this week [1][2][3] - it was actually kind of spooky the first time, as I'd just found the author's page after looking into their work on doing SIMD-based processing of other things, and here they were turning up on the front page within 24h.

- carlmr 4y agoThe question is why you were looking at SIMD based processing, maybe you got triggered by another HN post, which triggers this post being reposted more often. We're each cells in a neutral meta network, triggering each other.
- rincebrain 4y agoI was looking at SIMD processing for interests not triggered by HN, actually - was trying to figure out how well one could do at efficient binpacking of a structure where you knew something about the contents beyond it being arbitrary noise, as fast as you could get away with it.
