If these intrinsics are used can clang or msvc still compile it?

Rockefeller loved to 97, but his daughter died at 13 months of a disease that doesn’t exist in America or Europe anymore. Childhood mortality was high, and we’ve substantially reduced that in 2022. I can’t speak for Rockefeller or for you,

Worth noting that American intelligence has been on point about Russia for the past year. They alerted everyone else that the Russian army's "manoeuvres" in February were an actual invasion. Even the Ukrainians didn't be

When I went on a vacation to another country, I saw an ad for an ISP in the tri-state area 10 times. Friends, I have never been to the tri-state area in my life. I don't live in the US. I have no idea why I saw this. This is a mobile a

This ignores the fact that Twitter was never a good ads business. Even in its heyday, it had a fraction of the ad revenue of Meta. They were just showing users less relevant ads, meaning less value to advertisers and less revenue generated.

I think the Echo devices are included, so it means hardware sold. Not sure they were being sold at a profit. Also, you need to count the server costs, including machine learning training and inference.

But it’s a great analogy because a layman looks at an airline operation and thinks “yeah I can do this without the crew”. They’re wrong, just like all the people who think they can run Twitter with 20 good men.

Based on "many people are saying". It's circular reasoning at best. 80% of employees were fired because it was overstaffed, and since the site is still up afterwards, Twitter was overstaffed.

I notice every VC cheering this absurd management style on. If Twitter's new management can be somehow spun as a success, it will normalise treating tech employees in general and engineering in particular very poorly - longer hours, le

This wasn’t instructions to the editorial staff, it was to the regular reporters. This is alleged by reporters who heard of it second hand. I wish I could link you to the investigative exposé about this decision published by the NYT, but th

This decision matters because the NYT influences other journalists to a large degree. The person who took that autocratic decision was AG Sulzberger, the 37-year old publisher and chairman of the NYT. Surely a man wielding so much power and

I think deep down we all knew that burning people out has a decent chance of getting you solid results in the short term. The problem comes after, when people who understand best how your systems work will quit because they’re burned out hu

It’s good that Rust has this culture. But the flip side is that issues that wouldn’t even be bugs in other languages have CVEs filed for them in Rust. A layman looking at the Rust language thinks it looks very insecure. Example from a coupl

You think you want transparency and that it’ll make you trust them, but it won’t. Even if you found out how those decisions are made, it won’t make a difference. Here’s something I wrote a couple days ago ( https://news.ycombinato

I feel like your concern is genuine. But maybe overblown. I haven’t shared any trade secrets so I’m confident I’ll be fine.

Based on my conversation with the editor of the Wire, he seems sincere in his belief in this source. He is a respected journalist with decades of experience so he wouldn’t trash that just for a few clicks. My read is that he wants this stor

I think I’ll be fine. My reasoning is two fold - I haven’t shared anything that could be exploited by anyone. And second, Meta and others in the industry try to share information about how their integrity efforts work so we can learn from e

Thanks for the email. But I think it should be fine. I haven’t said anything that could be exploited by bad actors. As for competitors, there are no competitors in integrity. The entire industry goes to great lengths to share knowledge on w

Like I mention, all of the evidence The Wire has used here is likely fabricated. Not by the Wire themselves, but by the source they’re relying on.

It’s explained later on but I could be clearer. XCheck is a system that supports tagging specific accounts with tags that exempt that account from certain integrity enforcement. In the post I give an example of a tag that used to exempt acc

Yeah this makes sense. Kinda like how Europe depends on Russia for oil and gas and Russia imports a number of high tech goods from Europe. That’s why conflict between the two is highly unlikely.
