Yes. IP addresses by themselves are not PII and may be logged indefinitely. It's only after you start correlating them with other shit that you're collecting that they become subject to GDPR.

Same for cookies really. If you *only* operate a shopping cart, you don't have to display a cookie notice for "only technically required cookies". The point of the cookie notice is to dark pattern users into granting more access or just to annoy them enough that they continue not caring about privacy.

If pensions invest in the stock market, then they are de-facto acting as a bank. And last I checked, in the land of the free, you get to withdraw your 401k should you vibe with the decision to do so [please don't do this based on this post alone].

Cause if that's the case, I see no reason for a government bailout should things go south. Nobody's pension would be affected by some private investor losing money on a bad investment.

But if that's not the case, then someone somewhere along the chain is acting as a bank, subject to a vibe-driven run.

The good news is that these folks seem to be in possession of a vibe-rator.

What Justine probably meant was an apples to oranges comparison: in userspace, you can sometimes add constraints that allow for a faster algorithm whereas the cpu generally has to assume the worst.

That being said, if you look through this thread you'll find similar issues with OP's phrasing. A fine engineer / hacker, but too much 4chan troll in my book.

iFerrari XS

It's 140% better than the previous Ferrari Enzo

And 20% thinner

With a brand new Magnesium case

It's the fastest Ferrari we've ever built.

What theorem is that?

The multiplication of any two integers below a certain size (called "words") fits in a "double word" and the naive multiplication algorithm needs to store the inputs, an accumulator and at most another temporary for a grand total of 6*word_size

Sure, you can technically "stream" carry-addition (which is obvious from the way adders are chained in ALU-101) and thus in a strict sense addition is O(1) memory but towards your final point:

> Theory is important, but engineering is also important.

In practice, addition requires unbounded memory as well (the inputs). And it's definitely compute-unbounded, if your inputs are unbounded.

I dislike the term "we muddle along". IEEE 754 has well specified error bars and cases, and so does all good data science. LLMs do not, or at least they do not expose them to the end user

So then, how exactly do we go about proving that the result of chaining prompts is within a controllable margin of error of the intended result? Because despite all the specs, numerical stability is the reason people don't write their own LAPACK.

... the answer would depend on which street corner you asked.

Yes, they are. They also tend to state that "most people" agree with them. This is called subjectivity.

If a website offers me the choice between "accept cookies" and "more options", I'll manually edit the DOM to remove the popup from the offending website. Some sites disable scrolling while such a "We value your privacy" popup is shown, so I wrote a js bookmarklet to work around most common means of scroll hijacking.

Google is currently waging a war against adblockers, especially on youtube. I currently have a way around that too but should they start baking ads in the video bytes, I'll stop using youtube altogether (though I am willing to look the other way for content creators shouting out their curated sponsors).

There is simply no universe in which I pay for certain types of digital content, and while I can't stop the data collection that ultimately pays for it, I can at least make damn sure that it's unlawful.

With respect to Spain and sports, stadiums are littered with ads, players wear ads, the commentator stream itself has ads baked in and people buy tickets and tapas to watch the game live. If that's not enough, go fuck yourselves!

pipejosh is totally a real person!

Because a plumber would definitely first and foremost plug his AI software and not his plumbing company, which definitely exists!

How does this make it to the frontpage in <1 hour from posting?

P.S. https://pipelab.org/ has a bad cert

I guess that it's not as important when you're explicitly willing to pay the piper and run the full log2n iterations just for the sake of branch predictability.

Thanks for the algo though, before today I never would've thought about doing a branchless downheap with i = i<<1 + h[i<<1] != h[i]

At best you were off by one but in the context of performance, you'd want to assign that extra to a super-root of ±inf in order to save log2n extra range checks per heap-up, no?

Tell me you use -fno-strict-aliasing without telling me.

Fwiw, I agree with you and we're in good[citation needed] company: https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-btrfs@vger.kernel.org/msg...
