I paid attention and I don't see where Daniel claimed that this a complete UTF-8 decoder. He's illustrating a programming technique using a simplified use case, not solving the worlds problems. And I don't think Daniel Lemire lacks an understanding of the concept or needs an AI to code it.
- magicalhippo 1y agoAgreed, but the points raised by GP are valid in terms of using that article as an argument that AVX-512 can decode UTF-8 well. It might be fast, but it's not a UTF-8 decoder. It's a transcoder to a fixed, and very limited, target encoding.
- kjs3 1y agoI though it was pretty clear the GP was talking about Daniels article, not the blog post, but I guess I can see two readings.
