most non-C++ developers are just users playing inside a C++ dev’s program.

@SebAaltonen The amount of training data on tablegen CPU schedules is...limited. ISel a bit better, but still highly confused. That part mostly amounts to rubber ducking, the incorrect suggestions being a prompt for me to come up with the proper idea.

[Carl Nettelblad @cnettel]

@SebAaltonen I've been working on improving LLVM codegen for a specific embedded platform. I could have written a proper CI script ages ago, but having the agent try things out is useful. Its own suggestions, beyond fixing typos, are still (mostly) awful.

@rageissuesbsky @Andrea_Migone @bataille_chris It was also said "one week, without external assistance".

[Carl Nettelblad @cnettel]

@rageissuesbsky @Andrea_Migone @bataille_chris And to be said, that assessment was in line with the assumption that Russia could occupy Ukraine within a few days as well. Sweden might not have done as good a job as Ukraine, but the assumption was that Russia would have managed a Desert Storm or Iraqi Freedom style invasion.

@bofromhell @sorin_cristescu @aramh However, in quite a few of the countries, the national ID card with Schengen validity is even mandatory (for adults).

[Carl Nettelblad @cnettel]

@bofromhell @sorin_cristescu @aramh Schengen does standardise national ID cards. The only EU Schengen country which doesn't issue one is Denmark. Among the extended Schengen countries, Switzerland is the second exception. To what they're pervasive varies by country.

@valigo @Hephaestus8008 Apple made deliberate adjustments in their ARM implementation with the sole motivation of ensuring high-speed x86 translation, such as allowing an x86-compatible memory ordering mode and 4K memory pages.

@NCyotee @lauriewired That any conventional CPU also includes vector units that actually support scatter/gather and masking, as well as a moderately capable iGPU is also crucial.

Again, really try to run a modern Linux distro on the oldest hardware it technically supports...

[Carl Nettelblad @cnettel]

@NCyotee @lauriewired But regarding capability, the various levels of support for virtualization might be most important there. True, original VMware did the trick without support, but that level of performance wouldn't have transformed the industry.

For all the recent supply chain security attacks, I find it fascinating that C++’s standard package manager hasn’t been attacked. Tells you a lot that nobody is criticizing C++’s security right now!

@SvensRekishikan @DanielAlling Men Trump visar sig ju i praktiken villig och angelägen om att projicera militär förmåga både på det "egna" halvklotet och annorstädes. Att förlora eller lämna europeiska baser storskaligt hade gjort något sådant som Iraninsatsen långt svårare, trots de villkor som länder satt.

@TheSlySamurai @Tomcastlehume @NocnaZ Life expectancy numbers etc include all residents in the statistics in all EU countries. There are certainly discrepancies, but the socioeconomic gradient among (legal) US residents is far greater than in the EU, and even your top percentiles come off worse in such metrics.

@trumptrump4769 @ReturnoftheSK @KyleJGlen @vanbattenburg20 The long term health of their economy is crucial for the war effort, just like it was for France in WWI. France won over Germany by being able to sustain the effort, with the help of their allies. Germany wasn't.

[Carl Nettelblad @cnettel]

@trumptrump4769 @ReturnoftheSK @KyleJGlen @vanbattenburg20 Economic collapse on the homefront is the recipe for having to surrender, not the way to victory. Less apt, but to some extent this applies to the German and Russian Empires in WWI. The German defeat in WWII also included vain efforts to cannibalize all civil economic activity.

[Carl Nettelblad @cnettel]

@trumptrump4769 @ReturnoftheSK @KyleJGlen @vanbattenburg20 To sustain the war efforts, significant external support is needed. In the case of France, that also included actual troops, not only supplies and economic support. If all conventional economic activity ceased, the need for external support would *grow*.

[Carl Nettelblad @cnettel]

@SMSchindler2 @FuQImFromTexas @BohuslavskaKate Yeah. Thea deals controlling different bases are different. If no facilities on European soil had been used (geographically European, the UK included), the current operation would have been quite different. Both tankers and bombers set off from England.

@Goetzy66 @DharmendraDn @hollandsdaisy1 @Amockx2022 On January 11, he explicitly mentioned the need for peace and dialogue in Iran. If you didn't hear it, maybe you didn't listen.
