Kind of a weird article, as 8-bit quantization is widely used in production for neural networks for a number of years now. The title of the article is a bit misleading since it's widely known that 8-bit quantization does work and is ex

The vast majority of the time fixes like this that are being backported are straightforward fixes for bugs (security or otherwise) that require very little manual conflict resolution, especially if the fix is just being backported one or tw

I agree that the blog point didn't make a very strong argument, but there are some inaccuracies in your comment as well. With regard to the "only run X tests if X changed" problem, Bazel, Buck, and all the other monorepo buil

I know that this isn't a serious piece of legislation, but just entertaining the idea of a consumption tax: wouldn't this hugely incentivize people to spend money overseas rather than domestically? Basically this would give people

I don't understand. I live in a three-story apartment building in San Francisco that has about 20 units (ground floor is retail space, the upper two floors have 10 apartment units each). There's a single entrance and stairwell in

I just want to point out that for the second problem (scalability of CPU/memory/io), microservices almost always make things worse. Making an RPC necessarily implies serialization and deserialization of data, and nearly always als

How common is browser fingerprinting when it actually comes to ad retargeting though? This isn't really the domain I work in so I could be off base here, but AFAIK none of the major ad networks use browser fingerprinting to deliver ads

I don't know the actual answer to your question, but I do know that when you make beer from wild yeasts you get a really low alcohol content, like 1 or 2% ABV. There was an episode of Brew Masters^[1] that I remember watching where the

The language support might be nearly done but libc++ definitely does not have full C++20 support. For example, ranges, a HUGE feature in C++20, are disabled by default in libc++ (as of version 15, the latest stable release). As another exam

As this article points out, I think the boom is primarily in Europe. Here in America people do cocaine but (in my experience) in most normie circles it's not that common and if anything has a bit of a stigma. I was shocked at how perva

I agree with you (although I don't own Meta stock). There isn't an imminent threat of Facebook collapsing, but if you look at things mid to long term the situation for Facebook isn't that rosy. There is serious competition fr

I'm not going to try to convince you to use Bazel. I think it's great, but ultimately choosing one build system or another is a big decision that involves weighing a lot of different factors, including what your coworkers are amen

Tangentially related, but I think this is an interesting fact, all the atoms in our universe/galaxy/solar system with a mass up to that of iron are formed in the core of stars in stellar fusion. Hydrogen fuses into helium, and as

You could pose the same question about humans. People are already posting incorrect information all over the internet and consuming that information. In fact this problem predates the internet, people have been writing and disseminating inc

Rust and C++ are about equally difficult (or easy) to program in, the languages are much more alike than they are different.

Police aren't trained to shoot people in the head, they're trained to shoot the "center mass" (i.e. chest area) if they need to shoot someone at all. And the main reason police have fire weapons is when they feel there i

Part of his argument though was that for most cases where you're parsing JSON (or some other protocol), the parsing time is small compared to the amount of time you spend actually doing things with the data. And for most of the examp

I strongly agree. This post is SO MANY WORDS basically to complain about the fact that the state of a moved-from object is partially unspecified (i.e. the object has to be in a valid state and destructible, but what that state is is not nec

Fuzzers can already do this. When you set up a fuzzer you set up what functions it's going to call and how it should generate inputs to the function. So you can fuzz the X.509 parsing code and hope it hits punycode parsing paths, but y

Sure but you wouldn't be reading a password into a std::array or std::vector in C++, you'd be reading into a std::string or possibly something like a std::stringstream. And both of those containers will handle sizing and reallocat

The problem with Rust is that it's not compatible with C++ other than at a C FFI level. Rust code can't really interact with C++ code that uses templates, which is pretty much all of it. That makes it a non-starter for companies t

Pro tip: clang-tidy understands pretty much all of the cpp core guidelines, and if you're using clangd it can emit clang-tidy warnings for violations (and in some cases even provide fixits). Not to mention a bunch of other really usefu

This might be true for embedded C++ programmers, but it's not true at FAANG or finance companies, which accounts for a lot of C++ programmers. I'm in San Francisco and I wrote mostly Python/Go at web companies for the first 1
