Just a few years ago, mults were slower, but I think now (Intel i9) mult, add and fma are the same.

The answer's all over the place with each successive CPU generation. Originally Intel CPUs had adds faster than multiplies, then both went through the FMA unit so they were the same, then they added a fast FP adder, etc. And current timings on uops.info now show FP fma 4c and mul 3c over two multiply units, and add 2c over two separate addition units.

I'm confused, what kind of activities does the "US department of War" partake in?

Military Ops, Armed Conflict, Defensive strikes, Global war on terror, counter terrorism ops to name a few. These are the labels given to recent conflicts like Afghanistan, Iraq and Vietnam wars.

Diplomatic Solutions and Aggressive Negotiations, duh :)

I had "alliances and training" in my mental list of indirect war activities.

in particular, if you store stuff in the browser, and don't send it to the server later (local storage or one of the other 1000 JS APIs), there is no reason to present a cookie banner.


Well, it's the cost of collecting data. A lot of businesses don't really need to collect data. It's only the cost of doing business if you are in the personal data business.

For example, a newspaper or a blog have absolutely no reason to produce a cookie banner.


Funny, is recently searched “match plate in French“ the LLM went straight to match sticks and dinner plates, and the dummizer in search fixed “plate“ to “play“ and went into soccer territory.

I still have no clue how the foundry pattern is called in my native language.

Well, a soccer search lets Google make more money by showing you more-profitable ads. /only-partial-sarcasm


To be ironic, maybe the list of the files is original :) It's a very open minded curation.


I would venture that's it's the whole reason they use it. because it doesn't work.


If anything, it’s a very conservative estimate. Short of a major turn of events it seems very unlikely Anthropic’s revenue growth is going to slow to zero.


I have not clicked, but recently I was suggested a video whose title was more or less: “everybody thinks 1984 agrees with them”.


I do recommend that one. Jacob Geller could talk for 3 hours about impressionist paintings and I guarantee it would be fascinating.


Funny, along the same lines I asked an AI to write some wasm text. It was ridiculously bad and I had to intervene heavily to get something working as intended.


For people interested, you can do FTS in DuckDB without using the official module. I copy-pasted the relevant parts and slightly changed it for my need.
