just include files over http…that will show’em !

indeed. riscv for instance. also, afaik, xor’ing is faster. i would assume that someone like mr. raymond would know…

> afaik, xor’ing is faster

Even tiny tiny CPUs can do sub in one cycle, so I doubt that. On super-scalar CPUs xor and sub are normally issued to the same execution units so it wouldn't make a difference there either.


On superscalars running xor trick as is would be significantly slower because it implies a data dependency where there isn't one. But all OOO x86's optimize it away internally.

Sub has the same false data dependency.

Which part of "mathematical operations don’t reset the NaT bit" did you not understand?

commenting without reading the article, your being naughty again :o)

I did read it. A compiler converts your code into assembly. They usually have varying levels of optimisation depending on what you're doing.

The article boils down to "could AI be a good compiler" and I'd say that consistency and repeatability are far more important than a one-off optimisation of a particular section of code. If you've got to the point where a section of code is worth writing some hand-crafted assembly then it's probably worth your time to really understand what's happening with it. Having it "vibe compiled" for you would be a bad idea.


which one ? just curious.

what has _that_ got to do with ipv6 adoption/usage ?

afaics, it probably has more to do with large indian-isp’s f.e. jio adopting ipv6.


don't mind if you do 'guv, don't mind at all.

if you actually got to A.G.I, why would you rent it out ?


yes, run by machines, read by humans. so ?


be bop be bop ! why yes, yes i am.
