"When you type in normal C++ and compile it at -O3 (the highest typical optimization level) you don’t expect to understand the assembly that comes out, even if you understood the C++ you had typed in"
I absolutely expect to understand the assembly. Should be a basic skill.
We've been getting a lot of questions lately about how the Internet Archive digitizes books.
The short answer: page by page, by hand.
You may remember our viral 2021 video of Eliza Zhang scanning a book. That's still how we do it.

Someone I've known for a long time asked if I really wrote essays in vim. I was surprised that he was surprised. So it must be a strange thing to do. But I don't see why it should be. Essays are just text. What else do you need?

Robert was my guest two years in a row in Montreal.
It included a road trip to the American border. I am sure Robert will long remember the trip.

This is Senate House in London. When George Orwell wrote 1984, the building served as the model for the headquarters of the Ministry of Truth (the propaganda ministry). The Ministry of Truth decided what was true, for example that 2+2=5. It was responsible for censorship and rewriting history, and it banned the word “free” in the sense of freedom.
When we projected our banned TV ads onto buildings in London, we thought this would be a fitting location. Nineteen Eighty-Four was supposed to be a warning, not an instruction manual.
