The OP should try with -march=native so the compiler can use vector instructions. Slightly off-topic but I like this way to test if memory is all zeroes: https://rusty.ozlabs.org/2015/10/20/ccanmems-memeqzero-

About 5% of people are narcissistic sociopaths. They don't believe that other people exist, or at least are anything more than actors in a play they control. Try not to elect one as President. This is a good pop-science book about it

You can't mention Kore-eda without mentioning After Life (1998) , surely? (Confusingly called Wonderful Life in Japanese, and also I don't mean the Gervais series.) There's a recent US "remake"/homage which

The interesting thing here is what's this code worth (in money terms)? I would say it's worth only the cost of recreation, apparently $20,000, and not very much more. Perhaps you can add a bit for the time taken to prompt it. A

I remember when I worked in an electronics lab one of our EEs built several "dongle buses", a parallel port "bus" that you could plug up to about half a dozen dongles in, and it was frequently fully populated on the mach

I hate this whole thing with me having to use some tool to track the work (usually Jira which is a PoS). My entire output is data, why can't a tool automatically summarise what I'm doing? It seems an ideal task for an AI act
