hmmm .. can you point a superoptimizer at these instruction sequences and have it find the minimal sequence (a single instruction) that implements it?

Interesting -- which compilers accept this? gcc and clang reject it in C and C++ modes with a message like "error: pasting formed '//', an invalid preprocessing token".

If you're making the case to Apple users to upgrade to M1, the other Apple products are the relevant comparison. If you're hoping to entice Win/Lin users then AMD has more relevance.

This is obviously not tax advice, but I think the earlier poster is referring to reductions to AGI that are on "schedule C" titled "profit or loss from business". Some tax language seems to refer to these as "deduc

This reminds me of one of the _very few_ bits of freebsd userspace that are better than gnu and was only adopted by gnu much later (8.30, the version first in debian buster, I think): `env -S`. `env -S` introduces an option parser/spl

Various people including me have proposed mixing filaments by printing the filament. However, there are some good ideas here that had not occurred to me. I suspect forms of this have been invented multiple times. I know of two: My design

Right, except (my lay understanding is) that would require something special to happen to infalling matter at the event horizon, though we don't have a plausible theory for what that thing is--the prevailing interpretation is that pass

Sounds like GNFS is still better if you believe its conjectured computational complexity, but this still seems like a good advance. Paper's over my head for 10 minutes reading though.

(sin⁻¹(cos⁻¹(tan⁻¹(tan(cos(sin(9))))))−9)^−1 produces "Timeout. Undefined?". That's the closest I could get to baffling or tricking it. (it's division by zero)

As far as I can tell, the "most obvious bug" is not a bug, other than reliance on implementation-defined behavior converting uint64_t -> int64_t (namely, clang/gcc -fwrapv). Overall, the tone of the article is obtuse and f

Can anyone point me to a discussion of how this helps a system without an accurate time bootstrap itself to the point that it can perform a TLS session? I skimmed the RFC itself, and it depends on TLS. But TLS depends on having an accurate

Ah found the "real" paper. The authors don't know how the algorithm scales either: "Finally, we note that while our demonstrations of factoring have made use of currently available quantum annealers, there is an outstan

Apparently prime factoring has been performed on d-wave hardware. However, it's not clear to me that this leads to something useful. It's not Grover/Shor's algorithm, it's something else. Based on a quick scan of

I continue to be dismayed by how Microchip treats developers. Want a toolchain? You have to create an account. Of course, it's freeloading off of the Free software gcc toolchain. Even worse, when it comes to their microcontrollers
