If you don't _need_ subnormals MXCSR.DAZ/FTZ (which you can get gcc to set via -mdaz-ftz) will let you ignore all of this.

If the folks at OpenAI aren't qualified to be operating these systems who would be?

One obvious reason to have an LLM output a high level language even if you are never going to read the code is because it will require fewer output tokens and therefore be cheaper.

Yes, it's management with little concern for human factors because you can abuse or and even fire your reports and summon new ones of equal competence at will.

You should try writing it out. Doing it without introducing another unpredictable branch is harder than it looks. I discussed this with a coworker earlier this week and the best they were able to come up with was for &x in input {

Worth noting that as written the "trick" results in memory usage proportional to the size of the input rather than the output. If the filter rejects most of the input the difference could be quite noticeable.

Yes, diversification results in lower returns than investing in just the best performing asset class.

Generally the default fund in a decent 401(k) (employer managed but largely employee funded retirement plan) will be a "target date retirement fund" that contains a mix of equities and bonds according to the expected risk toleranc

Unless you've checked it for accuracy why would I read your AI-generated documentation when I can ask my AI (which in a month or two will be a newer, better model than what you used to generate that documentation) to read the code and

My memory is a bit fuzzy but I think you're correct.

We've seen b before. React was controversially released with a similar clause and ultimately Facebook dropped it and used a standard open source license. Their lawyers really love this idea for some reason.

If you show up at a US port of entry without any sort of anything the default decision is to deny entry (exceptions for Canadian citizens and citizens of a few small islands). If you show up at a US port of entry with an ESTA/visa you

That already happens. Witness all the random "bans" and "pauses" Trump has instituted against various nationalities and groups of people at the border.

As someone who doesn't follow databases that closely, how is this different from Amazon Aurora (other than being open source)?

IMO the threat model is more letting the agent loose on issues/PRs in a public Github repo and it getting tricked into running a malicious payload.

If Unity had 2.5 users anyone had heard of before the switch you can see where the motivation might (at least emotionally) come from.

In the one statement case, clang emits LLVM IR where the last operation in each branch is the store. In the two statement case, clang emits LLVM IR where the last operation in each branch is the [pointer math]( https://llvm.org&#x

I'm not sure it's a "technique" but the general insight worth taking away from this is that compiler authors often write optimizers to recognize specific patterns so writing your code in a more idiomatic form increases t

I don't disagree with what you're saying but I want to point out that it's rather unusual for (American) ambulances to carry blood, and probably more of them should. https://www.redcross.org/about-us/news

> Back then I found the Rust community had interest and respect for Zig, so the discourse was very much one sided. In hindsight (and at risk of starting a flame war), it's easier to be magnanimous when you are winning/have won.

If they did the opposite and called it Mygres or whatever people would give them shit for that too.

I make no claim as to whether the change makes sense given that I didn't look at the callers of this function, but Result<bool> is an entirely reasonable pattern in Rust. If you want the callers to be able to distinguish between

The Enterprise versions of Anthropic/OpenAI's products say they don't train on input data so either this is a misinformed rant or it's an allegation that the AI labs are perpetrating an enormous fraud on their enterprise
