The kernel can't do anything here, unless your answer is "threads can't ever migrate between types of cores, so cross your fingers on which core you spawn on". The kernel doesn't know what flavor of ISA userspace is

They didn't disable it at first on their client CPUs, and it resulted in code randomly crashing depending on whether ifunc resolvers first ran on a big core or a little core. It's pretty surprising that multiple CPU vendors have r

I'd agree for OpenAI and Anthropic, but Google is a different story, because they're renting TPUs to both OpenAI and Anthropic, and presumably making reasonable margins on them given how supply constrained the entire industry is.

If you go back 5 years, everyone was using Quake 3 Arena as the benchmark. ATI got in some hot water because if you renamed quake3.exe to quack3.exe, your FPS would drop by 15%, because they were silently reducing quality to juice their ben

By that logic, we should eliminate paternity and maternity leave, because why should people without children work to fill in the gaps left by parents?

Instability just means that they don't naturally return to stable flight. Fighter jets benefit from this because when you want to make a maneuver, you're not fighting the plane's natural inclination to stay where it's po

I was making a general point about portability, not this library in particular. I wouldn't consider "only x86_64 and aarch64" as being "portable".

Better yet, you could add more pins and switch them to using differential pairs to make it extensible for more use cases. While you're at it, you could have pins on both the top and bottom of the connector, and use a pair of sense pins

Local privilege escalation is largely irrelevant on Windows because basically no one uses it in a multi-user system, and application sandboxing is effectively nonexistent.
