ChatGPT was configured to not output lyrics and recipes[1]. Later on they removed this from the prompt (seemingly moved anywhere else), but it's highly unlikely that such censorship will ever be removed: any citation of songs is a dire

How does const affects code generation in C/C++? Last time I checked, const was purely informational. Compilers can't eliminate reads for const pointer data, because const_cast exists. Compilers can't eliminate double calls t

(I did not downvote and can't even do it), but Gentoo does not accept art contributions of any kind (human/ai), there is just no place for this. But in previous discussion[1] somebody mentioned that pkgxdev/pantry[2] generate

If you are talking about non-small matrix multiplication in MKL, is now in opensource as a part of oneDNN. It literally has exactly the same code, as in MKL (you can see this by inspecting constants or doing high-precision benchmarks). For

I used latest Chrome on Android smartphone. It was kind of expected for me, that WebGPU does not work there. As I understand, WebGPU actually requires compute-capable GPU. Meanwhile WebGL fallbacks to software rendering via SwiftShader.

This needs a screenshot in GitHub, otherwise all I see is "No appropriate GPUAdapter found". Was WebGPU actually justified?

Of course I know name "Daniel Stenberg". But at any moment there is no guarantee that next release published under his account was actually done by person named "Daniel Stenberg". Single person outside of organization is

I don't understand his attitude towards "anonymous maintainers". Right now ALL contributions to curl are pseudonymous, including his own. There is just no such organization as "Curl". Want to see non-anonymous contr

The earliest Web Archive snapshot of this website is from 2020, and back then it looked almost the same, so it is not a "new era" AI generated garbo. However in 2020 it the same `/download` link returned some executable. Prob

Thank you for highlighting this. I've started a new discussion https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/116557 to provide strong guarantees for checksum stability for autogenerated tarballs attached

There is a minor note that technically there is a weak guarantee that checksums won't break after server update and recompression with different version / alternative implementation of gzip. https://github.com/orgs

It is very likely that they compared newly supported BF16 instruction set with some other (float? fp16? quantized ints?). If you make simple 1-to-1 transition from AVX256 to AVX512, the speedup is usually <2x, unless there is a major bot

While you are saying that it is utterly unrelated, I'll respond with "that not only related, this is a root cause of current situation". We have a single massively used implementation (also known as reference), which does not

GitHub should not just reverse and make repo public and archived "as is", because there are many rolling distributions (from Gentoo to LFS), submodule pullers, CI systems, unaware users, which may pull and install the latest backd
