Your let's redo this in Rust made me wonder if generative AI will also be susceptible to software fads. One LLM writes a few blog posts extoling a new framework/lanaguge. Other agentics read these and get 'influenced'. T

That could be plausible deniability. I mean, CF is in fact keeping a tab on who is visiting which websites. Between them and Google, these two companies know everything about everyone.

It is no "too late" about AI right now. The only people who stand to 'suffer' in anyway from putting on the breaks and doing a comprehensive review of +/-s are the moneyed classes who have bet the house on this tech

You mean post quantum, theoretical physics. Up to 19th and early 20th, physicists somehow knew how to name things. It is possible that the nature of the beast itself has changed and it attracts a different kind of mindsets ...

You are confusing faculty with records. The ability to navigate by sense of direction. The ability to memorize numbers. The ability to think clearly by yourself. Watcha gonna do if big tech takes away your access to the outsourced bra

He explains why in his comment. Read it again, carefully. Or ask an LLM for an "explainer"..

The obvious cognitive deterimental effects of using map apps, when we all realized we lose directional sense and our previous ability to navigate without the smartdevices, was society's canary in a coal mine and a headsup of what was c

Why are you putting words in my mouth? Children are on Facebook because adults like you used their surveillance product and made them a "must have" aspect of social life. Facebook and Google and the rest were harming society long

This reminds me, back in the day I had a short term contract in Austin, TX with MCI (a now defunct telco). The site was a call center and the project was working on their friends and family product. I remember feeling outraged for the poor

Let's try this again: OP > The issue is this will likely go just as slow if not slower. The mere act of sharing the same 64-byte region of memory (a.k.a. cacheline) between multiple cores, causes the CPU internally to basically use

Thanks for the effort but the q wasn't "what is false sharing", The Q is: is it true the CPU mutexes are actually slower than those implemented in userspace?

> chances are the CPU's internal mutexes aren't as good as the ones you've implemented in userspace Anyone with an informed opinion on this statement? It's seems counter intuitive (npi).
