It has some interesting conclusions, such as that it covers certain AVX512 gaps:

"AVX512 plugs many of the holes that SSE had, whilst SVE2 adds more complex operations (such as histogramming and bit permutation), and even introduces new ‘gaps’ (such as 32/64-bit element only COMPACT, no general vector byte left-shift, non-universal predication etc)."

And also that rusty x86 developers might face skill issues:

"Depending on your application, writing code for SVE2 can bring about new challenges. In particular, tailoring fixed-width problems and swizzling data around vectors may become much more difficult when the length is unknown."

False statement. Ericsson still uses Erlang, for example in their MME. Source: I used to work at Ericsson.

The problem is that if dentis technicians speak up against a dentist, it usually means they lose a customer. Dentists will find someone else to fill their order. It's basically a mafia.

This happens in other fields as well, such as: shoving expensive pills down depressed teens throats to milk insurance money, then gain power of attorney over said kid to feed him 16 pills instead of one (true story, friend's son, named Bobby, would have otherwise recovered naturally, but is simply not himself anymore).

Here are a few problems:

* Money inventivizes immortal practices. Bigger (albeit unnecessary) procedure with lifetime consequences, but more insurance money. Or just money if you don't have insurance.

* The craft is polluted by bad role models. Normalizing said practices, effectively absolving young professionals from accountability.

* Flawed definition of good mentorship. Young Professionals need mentors that are a figurative handrail to honesty, and acceptance of feedback from peers. i.e. when dentists get remarks from dentist technicians that said procedure is unnecessary.

But apparently buzzwords are important for funding, or something.. There are toasters on Amazon boasting AI capabilities, the acronym has lost all credibility.

I really need to sleep.

Regardless, to those that's have no clue how to procure a good offline solution themselves, Alexa, Google, and Siri are the only options.

Or, simply don't?

Since they're so committed to this transformation, I'm assuming that they've already fired most of the gasoline-competence, since (most of) those employees are too old to learn anything new (i.e. electric car tech.)

If firing gasoline-car competence is a worldwide phenomenon, then by 2030 it'll reach irreversible brain-drain levels.

Just because this article's title is less sensationalistic, doesn't make it any less interesting.

Why would I ever want to enable SMB 1.0 (security issues, deprecated) on my R8000. And even then, shares require admin credentials.

IMO this is refund material.

Also, who the heck uses -flto on GCC 4.7.1? LTO is experimental in GCC 4.7.1 and will make any application nigh-impossible to debug.

Here's something more relevant to modern times: http://hubicka.blogspot.com/2019/05/gcc-9-link-time-and-inte...
