Come for the lazy AI-generated banner image, stay for the buried-in-the-middle defense of "alternative medicine."

An important property of C++ templates is that their instantiations are de-duplicated at link-time. If you have two dependencies in C which both use the same generic container macros, and both instantiate vec(int) you'll fail-out with

This is pithy and clever, but in exchange makes the code less obviously self-documenting (implementation details creeping into type declarations) and complicates implementing multiple interfaces on the same receiver.

Conflating LLMs and Science Fiction AI is probably one of the worst (motivated) communication failures in media.

Can't call a rug-pull a rug-pull when too many speculators are still too invested in this hype-cycle.

Concretely, here, the UB-exploitation in question in this case is assuming that the "this" pointer in C++ is aligned and non-null, meaning it's a pervasive annotation throughout C++ codebases, not an edge-case. Relying on LTO

Undefined in the standard doesn't mean undefined in GCC. Type-punning through unions has always been a special case that GCC has taken care with beyond the standard.

Reading e.g. the 13% perf regression in simdjson from disabling UB: A simpler alternative is to compile the program with LTO. We confirmed that LLVM’s inter-procedural analyses can propagate both alignment and dereferenceability informa
