The status quo is just a lot more visible, now.

I was fine with you knowing this information until “The hard part is always moving the body unnoticed.” Always? As in every single time?

Was a bit tongue in cheek. Edge can download Linux. Rufus puts it on a USB stick, and goodbye Windows. Then, I can use my computer.

Rufus is the first (and only) program I install on Windows =]

Also, don’t forget to split the video in half so you can watch someone react to the video you’re watching.

Don’t worry bud, I’ll upvote you. Not everyone is afraid of pointers.

I was actually quoting a buddy of mine. That was his reasoning:

If a loaf of bread goes from $2 to $5 in one presidential term somebody fucked up

You have to love those GOP talking points. State some facts, then intentionally come to all the wrong conclusions. World class whiners.

Occam’s Razor time, he doesn’t have to do anything because we are on the downslope of the inflation. He just has to sit there and tweet for a year, then claim credit. And the same low information voters who said it was Biden’s fault bread went from $2 to $5, will praise his economic prowess.

Yup. Stopped answering questions as soon as they did that.

I wasn’t doubting the authenticity here.

I didn’t think of this until you pointed it out. I think someone used a certain method of creating images that look correct at a glance, but at closer inspection, contain many flaws.

It was “<breed> dog meat.” I forget the name of the breed, but you can look it up. Apparently, it is a breed specifically raised for food and can also be found in South Korea (e: on the menu).

There is a video going around the interwebs of a Russian soldier freaking out because they were eating it too until someone in the group translated the label.

Did you just give me a new instance to block?

Yeah, ever notice how hard it is to get it right on the third attempt? I have a keyboard walk password, and I still use my index finger if I get that far.

Half the earth was actually created in 1969. The other half was finished 12 hours later =]

I shouldn’t have used C++ as the example. Even C would work. I agree with everything you’re saying, but the original premise. I think if you put ASM vs C, C++, rust, etc, performance would fall near 50/50.

I’m not the best assembly guy, and I’m not advocating we all write it. But I always felt that the compiler optimization assumption was wrong or weak. Everything would be aligned nicely for my sanity, not performance =]

I feel like that’s only true if I was asked to “write the assembly for this c++ program.” If I’m actually implementing something big in assembly, I’m not going to do 90% of the craziness someone might be tempted to do in c++. Something that is super easy in c++ doesn’t mean it’s easy for the CPU. Writing assembly, I’m going to do what’s easy for the CPU (and efficient) because, now, I’m in the same domain.

The bottom line is cranking up the optimization level can get you a 2-5x win. Using memory efficiently can give you a 10-100x win.

Of course the numbers are good.

My bullshit detector is going off for a different reason. This is an arbitrary short term vs long term comparison. The money that went to Israel wasn’t going to HUD either way. As someone correctly pointed out, $20B is a rounding error here.

This opinion is a breath of fresh air compared to the rest of tech journalism screaming “AI software engineer” after each new model release.
