Perhaps those were different iterations of the technique over time. Start with marking cards to identify face cards, then move on to x-ray table.

That's not the problem. The problem is that you're adding a data dependency on the CPU loading the first byte. The branch-based one just "predicts" the number of bytes in the codepoint and can keep executing code past th

No, that's not the stance for electrical utilities (at least in most developed countries, including the US): the vast majority of weather events cause localized outages (the grid as a whole has redundancies built in; distribution to (r

Oh, interesting. I guess `time` is only reporting the usr/sys time of the main process rather than the child workers when using PARTITION_COUNT higher than 1?

You're measuring a cached compile in the subsequent runs. The deps.compile probably did some native compilation in the dep folder directly rather in _build.

I don't understand how this is losing their mind. Toggling this setting is expensive on the backend: opting in means "go and rescan all the photos". opting out means "delete all the scanned information for this user"

I think that simulation claim that pick-2 can send 2.5x as much traffic to most loaded vs least loaded is a bit misleading: if the load metric is completely random then that might happen. The more correlation to load the better. Also, rathe

I can't help but feel like some sort of hybrid approach: use GPT5 for the strategy, then a more direct ML model for actually executing the strategy might work better than trying to use reasoning directly for input control, would work b

There are a few reasons: 1. Random is the one algorithm that can't be fooled. So even if there's something against number of connections as a load metric, not using that metric alone dampens the problems. 2. There is a lag between

I guess I'd thought of head-of-line-blocking as the delay from a slow request stalling subsequent ones beyond the throughput limits of the system: i.e. a slow-to-parse request causes other cheap requests to wait.

I don't think this is head-of-line blocking. That is, it's not like a single slow request causes starvation of other requests. The IO thread for the connection is grabbing and dispatching data to workers as fast as it can. All the

If you have a single TCP connection, all the data flows through that connection, ultimately serializing at least some of the processing. Given that the workers are just responding with OK, no matter how many CPU cores you give to that you&#

It's not dehumanizing them. It's depiloting them. Not everyone should be a commercial airline pilot, no matter how much they may want to be one.

To contrast, I found that tidbit about Einstein helpful, as it took my memory more promptly to when I studied it in physics classes. I enjoyed the post more as a story more than as a report.

If you're sorting data on a command line, you probably have some matter of control over how it's generated. So just fully-expand it and then text sorting just works. Pretty simple?
